Surah Al-Ma'un

107

The surah's big idea

We pray on time and help the orphan, the poor and our neighbours

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

One branch per meaning, one node per verse. Reveal the branches one at a time; listen to each branch and repeat it before the next.

1. ١
  أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ
2. ٢
  فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ
3. ٣
  وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
Have you seen the one who denies the Day of Judgement? He is the one who pushes the orphan away harshly and keeps back his right, and does not urge others to feed the poor, so how would he feed them himself?
Prayer on time

  ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ
So a severe punishment awaits those who pray while careless about their prayer: they don't perform it properly and don't pray it on time.

  ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ
2. ٧
  وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ
They are the ones who do good only so people will see them, and who refuse to lend their neighbours simple things that cost them nothing to lend, like a pot or a bowl.
