Marmaduke Pickthall, The Meaning of The Glorious Koran. An Explanatory Translation (1930)

SÛRAH CVII

Al Ma‘ûn takes its name from a word in the last verse.

An early Meccan revelation.

Small Kindnesses

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!
