Soorah Al-Maa'oon (The Small Kindnesses)


In the Name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
1.  Have you seen him who denies the Recompense?
2.  That is he who repulses the orphan (harshly), [1]
3.  And urges not the feeding of Al-Miskeen (the poor), [2]
4.  So woe unto those performers of Salaat (prayers) (hypocrites),
5.  Those who delay their Salaat (prayer) from their stated fixed times,
6.  Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men),
7.  And withhold Al-Maa'oon (small kindnesses e.g. salt, sugar, water, etc.).
