بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ
أَرَءَيْتَ
Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?
فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
فَذ
For that is the one who drives away the orphan
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
فَوَيْلٌۭ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ
فَوَيْ
So woe to those who pray
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَ
[But] who are heedless of their prayer -
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُر
Those who make show [of their deeds]
وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ
وَيَمْنَعُونَ
And withhold [simple] assistance.
