سُورَةُ المَاعُونِ

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

107:1
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ
HAST THOU ever considered [the kind of man] who gives the lie to all moral law?
107:2
فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
Behold, it is this [kind of man] that thrusts the orphan away,
107:3
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
and feels no urge to feed the needy.
107:4
فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ
Woe, then, unto those praying ones
107:5
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
whose hearts from their prayer are remote
107:6
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ
those who want only to be seen and praised,
107:7
وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ
and, withal, deny all assistance [to their fellow-men]!
