بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ

Have you considered him who calls the judgment a lie?

فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ

That is the one who treats the orphan with harshness,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ

And does not urge (others) to feed the poor.

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ

So woe to the praying ones,

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ

Who are unmindful of their prayers,

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ

Who do (good) to be seen,

وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ

And withhold the necessaries of life.
