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

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have you seen him who denies the Recompense?

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

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

2 That is he who repulses the orphan (harshly),

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

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

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

3 And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.

4 So woe to the praying ones,

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

4 So woe to the worshippers

5 Who are unmindful of their prayers,

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

5 Who are neglectful of their prayers,

6 Who do (good) to be seen,

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

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

7 And withhold the necessaries of life.

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

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