Al-Maa'un

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ

Ara-aital lazee yu kazzibu bid deen

HAST THOU ever considered [the kind of man] who gives the lie to all moral law?

فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ

Fa zaalikal lazi yadu'ul-yateem

Behold, it is this [kind of man] that thrusts the orphan away,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ

Wa la ya huddu 'alaa ta'amil miskeen

and feels no urge to feed the needy.

فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ

Fa wai lul-lil mu salleen

Woe, then, unto those praying ones

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ

Al lazeena hum 'an salaatihim sahoon

whose hearts from their prayer are remote

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ

Al lazeena hum yuraa-oon

those who want only to be seen and praised,

وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ

Wa yamna'oonal ma'oon

and, withal, deny all assistance [to their fellow-men]!
