The Small Kindnesses

الماعون

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ ١

Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?

2

فَذَٲلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ٢

That is he who repelleth the orphan,

3

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ٣

And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

4

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ ٤

Ah, woe unto worshippers

5

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ ٥

Who are heedless of their prayer;

6

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ ٦

Who would be seen (at worship)

7

وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ ٧

Yet refuse small kindnesses!
