About Surah Al-Mutaffifin (المطففين)

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.
