المـاعون

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

1 Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

1 Araayta allathee yukaththibu bialddeeni

2 That is he who repelleth the orphan,

2 For that is the one who drives away the orphan

2 Fathalika allathee yaduAAAAu alyateema

3 And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

3 And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

3 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

4 Ah, woe unto worshippers

4 So woe to those who pray

4 Fawaylun lilmusalleena

5 Who are heedless of their prayer;

5 [But] who are heedless of their prayer -

5 Allatheena hum AAan salatihim sahoona

6 Who would be seen (at worship)

6 Those who make show [of their deeds]

6 Allatheena hum yuraoona

7 Yet refuse small kindnesses!

7 And withhold [simple] assistance.

7 WayamnaAAoona almaAAoona
