[1] (In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful)

The meaning

More explanation

[2] 1. Have you considered him who denies 'the punishment and the reward' [in the Next Life!?]

[3] 2. It is he who repulses the orphan [away from his rights.^a]

[4] 3. And [on account of his misery] he never urges [people] to feed the needy.^b

[Then God – be glorified – described this man and those like him, that they are hypocrites and not believers in fact; so you see them perform the prayers to show to people their prayers, and that their prayers are not according to their belief and faith, and He said:]

[5] 4. So woe be to those who pray [only to show to others.]

[6] 5. And are careless in their prayers^c.

[7] 6. Those who only show [to people their prayers],

[8] 7. And [on account of their extreme stinginess] they refuse to aid [the poor with any charity.]^d

^{2 a} And does not give him.

^{3 b} The meaning: if he is capable to feed, he will not feed the needy; and if he is not capable, he will not urge people to feed him.

^{5 c} It means: if they pray, they do not seek after the reward; and if they forsake it, they do not fear of the punishment; because they are not certain about the reward and punishment; therefore, God – be glorified – said after that:

^{7 d} It means: if the needy asks anything of them, they will not help him with some of their money.
