Al-Maa'un - Almsgiving
7 Ayat
Meccan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّينِ
Ara-aital lazee yu kazzibu bid deen
Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?
فَذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يَدُعُّ الْيَتِيمَ
Fa zaalikal lazi yadu'ul-yateem
For that is the one who drives away the orphan
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
Wa la ya huddu 'alaa ta'amil miskeen
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ
Fa wai lul-lil mu salleen
So woe to those who pray
الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
Al lazeena hum 'an salaatihim sahoon
[But] who are heedless of their prayer -
الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاءُونَ
Al lazeena hum yuraa-oon
Those who make show [of their deeds]
وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ
Wa yamna'oonal ma'oon
And withhold [simple] assistance.
