بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّينِ
Have you considered him who calls the judgment a lie?
Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)?
Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?
فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَدُعُّ الْيَتِيمَ
That is the one who treats the orphan with harshness,
Then such is the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness),
That is he who repelleth the orphan,
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
And does not urge (others) to feed the poor.
And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.
And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ
So woe to the praying ones,
So woe to the worshippers
Ah, woe unto worshippers
الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
Who are unmindful of their prayers,
Who are neglectful of their prayers,
Who are heedless of their prayer;
الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاؤُونَ
Who do (good) to be seen,
Those who (want but) to be seen (of men),
Who would be seen (at worship)
وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ
And withhold the necessaries of life.
But refuse (to supply) (even) neighbourly needs.
Yet refuse small kindnesses!
