المـاعون

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

1 Araayta allathee yukaththibu bialddeeni

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

2 That is he who repelleth the orphan,

2 Fathalika allathee yaduAAAAu alyateema

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

3 And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

3 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

3 And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.

4 Ah, woe unto worshippers

4 Fawaylun lilmusalleena

4 So woe to the worshippers

5 Who are heedless of their prayer;

5 Allatheena hum AAan salatihim sahoona

5 Who are neglectful of their prayers,

6 Who would be seen (at worship)

6 Allatheena hum yuraoona

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

7 Yet refuse small kindnesses!

7 WayamnaAAoona almaAAoona

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