المـاعون

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

1 Araayta allathee yukaththibu bialddeeni

1 Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

2 That is he who repelleth the orphan,

2 Fathalika allathee yaduAAAAu alyateema

2 For that is the one who drives away the orphan

3 And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

3 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

3 And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

4 Ah, woe unto worshippers

4 Fawaylun lilmusalleena

4 So woe to those who pray

5 Who are heedless of their prayer;

5 Allatheena hum AAan salatihim sahoona

5 [But] who are heedless of their prayer -

6 Who would be seen (at worship)

6 Allatheena hum yuraoona

6 Those who make show [of their deeds]

7 Yet refuse small kindnesses!

7 WayamnaAAoona almaAAoona

7 And withhold [simple] assistance.
