المـاعون

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

1 Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

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

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

2 For that is the one who drives away the orphan

2 That is he who repelleth the orphan,

3 And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.

3 And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

3 And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

4 So woe to the worshippers

4 So woe to those who pray

4 Ah, woe unto worshippers

5 Who are neglectful of their prayers,

5 [But] who are heedless of their prayer -

5 Who are heedless of their prayer;

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

6 Those who make show [of their deeds]

6 Who would be seen (at worship)

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

7 And withhold [simple] assistance.

7 Yet refuse small kindnesses!
