Surah al-Ma'un.
0:18
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:22
“Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?” (107:1)
0:26
That is the one who repels the orphan.
0:31
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
0:36
So woe to those who pray.
0:40
“Who are heedless of their prayer;” (107:5)
0:45
Those who show off.
0:50
And withhold simple assistance.
0:56
Have you seen, O Muhammad, the one who denies the reward and punishment of Allah?
1:01
He does not obey His commands or prohibitions.
1:04
This is the one who denies the Recompense.
1:07
He is the one who pushes the orphan away from his rights and oppresses him.
1:11
And he does not urge others to feed the needy.
1:16
The 'Wail' is a valley flowing with the pus of the people of Hell.
1:20
It is for the hypocrites who pray.
1:23
They do not seek the pleasure of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, through their prayer.
1:26
They are heedless of their prayer, neglecting it.
1:31
They are distracted from it and preoccupied with other things.
1:34
Sometimes they neglect it entirely, and at other times they miss its proper time.
1:38
Those who show off to people with their prayers when they perform them.
1:43
This is because they do not pray out of desire for reward or fear of punishment.
1:48
Rather, they pray only so that the believers may see them.
1:52
So the believers think they are among them.
1:54
And thus they refrain from shedding their blood or taking their families captive.
1:58
These are the hypocrites who lived during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
2:04
They harbor disbelief inwardly while manifesting Islam outwardly.
2:08
They withhold from people the common items they borrow among themselves.
2:12
They withhold from the needy and the destitute the rights that Allah has made obligatory upon them from their wealth.
2:18
For all of that falls under the category of benefits.
2:21
Which people utilize from one another.
