This Surah takes its context from the previous Surah and it meets the contexts of the next Surahs in a general frame in this last section of the Holy Qur’an, that is, to affirm the matter of Resurrection and the Last Day. The Resurrection Day takes this importance because it is of the faith summit which starts from believing in Allah (swt) then believing in what Allah (swt) told us of unseen matters, such as believing in the angels, the prophets, destiny and fate and the Last Day. So, believing in the Last Day is the conclusion of this faith; the one who does not believe willingly then he will believe because of fear.

However, both Surahs of At-Takwir and Al-Infitar talked about the introductions of that Day and the horrors that happen in it. Allah (swt) said:

 {إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ}

(When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]) (At-Takwir: 1)

 {إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ}

(When the sky breaks apart) (Al-Infitaar: 1)

Surah Al-Infitaar, as well, mentioned the writers who register the deeds:

 {وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ % كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ % يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ}

(And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers, % Noble and recording; % They know whatever you do.) (Al-Infitaar: 10-12)

Surah al-Mutaffifin also talked about the great Day:

   {يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ}

(The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?)
(Al-Muraffifin: 6)

And about the recording:

   {كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ}

(No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.) (Al-Muraffifin: 6)

  {كَلَّا إِنَّ كِتَابَ الْأَبْرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ }

(No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in ‘illiyyun.) (Al-Muraffifin: 18)

This Surah is the last Makki Surah before moving to Al-Medinah and this has a significance. The Makki Qur’an takes care of doctrine issues, in this Surah, it moved suddenly to a special additional matter connected with movement of life, behavior and dealings; such as, decreasing in measure and weigh, this matter characterizes the Madinan Surahs. Allah (swt) says:
