Surah Al-Maa'un (Almsgiving)

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ

Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)?

Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?

فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ

Then such is the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness),

That is he who repelleth the orphan,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ

And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.

And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ

So woe to the worshippers

Ah, woe unto worshippers

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ

Who are neglectful of their prayers,

Who are heedless of their prayer;

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ

Those who (want but) to be seen (of men),

Who would be seen (at worship)

وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ

But refuse (to supply) (even) neighbourly needs.

Yet refuse small kindnesses!
