083 - Surah Al-Mutaffifin “The Defrauding” the 83rd chapter of the Qur’an | Recitation
Surah Al-Mutaffifin (Arabic text: المطففين) is the 83rd chapter of the Qur’an. The surah titled in English means “The Defrauding” and it consists of 36 verses.
This Surah opens with a beautiful lesson for the entire Ummah. Although specifically mentioning tradesmen, it’s a lesson we can all apply to our lives. Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala sends a warning to tradespeople who are happy to receive payment in full but only deliver partially. They view themselves as “optimizers” but really are fraudulent or cheaters looking to take advantage of a situation. This was becoming a prevalent practice in Mecca which is why there was such a need for a clear and strong message.
