المـاعون

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Hast thou observed him who belieth religion ?

1 Have you considered him who calls the judgment a lie?

1 Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

2 That is he who repelleth the orphan,

2 That is the one who treats the orphan with harshness,

2 For that is the one who drives away the orphan

3 And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

3 And does not urge (others) to feed the poor.

3 And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

4 Ah, woe unto worshippers

4 So woe to the praying ones,

4 So woe to those who pray

5 Who are heedless of their prayer;

5 Who are unmindful of their prayers,

5 [But] who are heedless of their prayer -

6 Who would be seen (at worship)

6 Who do (good) to be seen,

6 Those who make show [of their deeds]

7 Yet refuse small kindnesses!

7 And withhold the necessaries of life.

7 And withhold [simple] assistance.
