Small Kindnesses
Surah 107 · Meccan · 7 ayahs
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ ١
Araʾaytal-ladhī yukadhdhibu bid-dīn.
Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?
فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِي يَدُعُّ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ ٢
Fadhālikal-ladhī yaduʿʿul-yatīm.
For that is the one who drives away the orphan
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ ٣
Wa lā yaḥuḍḍu ʿalā ṭaʿāmil-miskīn.
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلۡمُصَلِّينَ ٤
Fawaylul lil-muṣallīn.
So woe to those who pray
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَن صَلَاتِهِمۡ سَاهُونَ ٥
Al-ladhīna hum ʿan ṣalātihim sāhūn.
[But] who are heedless of their prayer1 -
Footnotes (1)
- i.e., the hypocrites who are unconcerned if they miss prayers when no one sees them.
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ يُرَآءُونَ ٦
Al-ladhīna hum yurāʾūn.
Those who make show [of their deeds]
وَيَمۡنَعُونَ ٱلۡمَاعُونَ ٧
Wa yamnaʿūnal-māʿūn.
And withhold [simple] assistance.
