Al-Ma'un 107:1

أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ

Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense

Do you recognise the one who rejects the requital on the Day of Judgement?

فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِي يَدُعُّ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ

For that is the one who drives away the orphan

It is the one who harshly turns away the orphan when in need.

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلۡمِسۡكِينِ

And does not encourage the feeding of the poor

He does not encourage himself nor others in feeding the poor.

فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلۡمُصَلِّينَ

So woe to those who pray

So destruction and punishment be upon those who perform prayer.

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَن صَلَاتِهِمۡ سَاهُونَ

[But] who are heedless of their prayer

Those who are heedless of their prayer; they do not care about it such that its time expires.

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ يُرَآءُونَ

Those who make show [of their deeds]

Those who show off by their prayer and good deeds, not being sincere in doing deeds for Allah.

وَيَمۡنَعُونَ ٱلۡمَاعُونَ

And withhold [simple] assistance

And they refrain from helping others with things in which there is no difficulty helping in.
