الماعون

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

[Prophet], have you considered the person who denies the Judgement?

أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّينِ

ara-ayta alladhī yukadhibu bil-dīni

It is he who pushes aside the orphan

فَذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يَدُعُّ الْيَتِيمَ

fadhālika alladhī yaduʿʿu l-yatīma

and does not urge others to feed the needy.

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

walā yaḥuḍḍu ʿalā ṭaʿāmi l-mis'kīni

So woe to those who pray

فَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ

fawaylun lil'muṣallīna

but are heedless of their prayer;

الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ

alladhīna hum ʿan ṣalātihim sāhūna

those who are all show

الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاءُونَ

alladhīna hum yurāūna

and forbid common kindnesses.

وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ

wayamnaʿūna l-māʿūna
