Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Isra 17:35

Word by word

وَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ إِذَا كِلْتُمْ وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا

And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even [i.e., honest] balance. That is the best [way] and best in result.

وأتموا الكيل، ولا تنقصوه إذا كِلْتم لغيركم، وزِنوا بالميزان السوي، إن العدل في الكيل والوزن خير لكم في الدنيا، وأحسن عاقبة عند الله في الآخرة.
