1. 1 أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّينِ Have you considered the case of one who belies the Requital and Faith?
2. 2 فَذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يَدُعُّ الْيَتِيمَ As a result of it this (despicable) fellow (instead of taking care of him with affection) repulses the orphan,
3. 3 وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ And does not urge in feeding of the needy.
4. 4 فَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ So woe to those who Pray,
5. 5 الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ But are unmindful of their Prayer (and ignore the spirit and aim of it),
6. 6 الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاءُونَ And they like (only) to be seen (of people while they make a show of their deeds),
7. 7 وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ And who withhold (legal) alms and other acts of kindness (starting from the Zakât to the lowest form of lending ordinary things of utility like a needle or a piece of thread to a neighbour).
