Al-Mutaffifin pronounces woe upon those who demand full measure when they receive but shortchange when they give — do they not think they will be resurrected for a tremendous Day? It contrasts the record of the wicked in Sijjin with the record of the righteous in 'Illiyyun, and promises that today's mockers will themselves be laughed at.
Al-Mutaffifin (المطففين) means "The Defrauders" in English. It is chapter 83 of the Holy Quran.
Surah Al-Mutaffifin has 36 verses (ayat). It appears on pages 587 to 589 of the mushaf.
Surah Al-Mutaffifin is a Makki surah, revealed in Makkah before the Prophet's ﷺ migration to Madinah.
