The Qur'an (Palmer)/Ma'un
The Chapter of ‘ Necessaries.’
(CVII. Place of origin doubtful.)
In the name of the merciful and compassionate God.
Hast thou considered him who calls the judgment a lie? He it is who pushes the orphan away ; and urges not (others) to feed the poor.
But woe to those who pray [5] and who are careless in their prayers,
Who pretend and withhold necessaries[1].
- ↑ Or, ‘alms.’ The word might be rendered ‘resources.’
