Next Back Chapter 107: (Al-Maun - Acts of Kindness) (Revealed at Makkah - 7 verses) Links Present on this Page: || 1. Introduction || 2. Translation || 3. Commentary || 1. Introduction: This chapter gives expression to the prominence which Islam gives to helping the needy and uplifting the poor. Anyone who pays no attention to this is spoken of as belying religion. Prayer to God and help of the poor are repeatedly spoken of in the Holy Quran as the two foundations of Islam, but here we are told that even prayer is a mere show, if it does not generate feelings of love and sympathy for humanity. Hence its title al-Maun or Acts of Kindness, the word itself occurring in the last verse. It is one of the very early Makkan revelations. 2. Translation: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1. Hast thou seen him who belies religion? 2. That is the one who is rough to the orphan, 3. And urges not the feeding of the needy. 4. So woe to the praying ones, 5. Who are unmindful of their prayer! 6. Who do (good) to be seen, 7. And refrain from acts of kindness! (QURAN CHAPTER 107)
