Surah 107. Al-Ma'un, Ayah 7
| وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- yamnacon al- maacon |
| Pickthall | : | Yet refuse small kindnesses! |
| Asad | : | and, withal, deny all assistance [to their fellowmen]!4 |
| Malik | : | and refuse to share the necessities of life. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | But refuse (to supply) (Even) neighborly needs. 6285 |
Note - 4The term al-ma'un comprises the many small items needed
for one's daily use, as well as the occasional acts of
kindness consisting in helping out one's fellow-men with
such items. In its wider sense, it denotes "aid" or
"assistance" in any difficulty.
|
Note - 6285Hypocrites make a great show of hollow acts of goodness,
devotion, and charity. But they fail signally if you test
them by little acts of neighbourly help or charity, the
thousand little courtesies and kindnesses of daily life,
the supply of needs which cost little but mean much.
