Surah “Small Kindnesses, Almsgiving, Have you Seen, The Daily Necessaries”

HAST THOU ever considered [the kind of man] who gives the lie to all moral law

Behold, it is this [kind of man] that thrusts the orphan away

and feels no urge to feed the needy

Woe, then, unto those praying one

whose hearts from their prayer are remote

those who want only to be seen and praised

and, withal, deny all assistance [to their fellow-men]
