107. al-Ma`un: The Daily Necessaries

1 Hast thou observed him who belieth religion ?

2 That is he who repelleth the orphan,

3 And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

4 Ah, woe unto worshippers

5 Who are heedless of their prayer;

6 Who would be seen (at worship)

7 Yet refuse small kindnesses!
