المـاعون

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

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

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

2 That is he who repelleth the orphan,

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

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

3 And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

3 And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.

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

4 Ah, woe unto worshippers

4 So woe to the worshippers

4 So woe to the praying ones,

5 Who are heedless of their prayer;

5 Who are neglectful of their prayers,

5 Who are unmindful of their prayers,

6 Who would be seen (at worship)

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

6 Who do (good) to be seen,

7 Yet refuse small kindnesses!

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

7 And withhold the necessaries of life.
