Surah Introduction

This Meccan sûrah, which takes its name from verse 7, condemns the deniers of the Hereafter for their lack of devotion to Allah and lack of compassion towards the needy. In the next sûrah, the Prophet ( ﷺ ) is ordered to be devoted to Allah alone and share the meat of his sacrificial animals with those in need.

Translation of Verse 1-71. In the Name of Allah-the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

1. Have you seen the one who denies the ˹final˺ Judgment?

2. That is the one who repulses the orphan,

3. and does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

4. So woe to those ˹hypocrites˺ who pray

5. yet are unmindful of their prayers;

6. those who ˹only˺ show off,

7. and refuse to give ˹even the simplest˺ aid. ¹³³¹
