وَأَوْفُوا
الْكَيْلَ
إِذَا
كِلْتُمْ
وَزِنُوا
بِالْقِسْطَاسِ
الْمُسْتَقِيمِ
ذَلِكَ
خَيْرٌ
وَأَحْسَنُ
تَأْوِيلًا

When you measure, observe fully the measure, [and] weigh with an even balance. That is better and more favourable with respect to the outcome [in the Hereafter].
— Ali Quli Qarai
Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination.
