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 Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have you seen him who denies the Recompense?

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 repulses the orphan (harshly),

3 And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.

3 And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

3 And urges not on the feeding of Al-Miskin (the poor),

4 So woe to the worshippers

4 So woe to those who pray

4 So woe unto those performers of Salat (prayers) (hypocrites),

5 Who are neglectful of their prayers,

5 [But] who are heedless of their prayer -

5 Those who delay their Salat (prayer from their stated fixed times).

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

6 Those who make show [of their deeds]

6 Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men),

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

7 And withhold [simple] assistance.

7 And prevent Al-Ma'un (small kindnesses like salt, sugar, water).
