Surah 107 Al-Maun [The Small Kindnesses]

107 Al-Maun

1 Araayta allathee yukaththibu bialddeeni
2 Fathalika allathee yaduAAAAu alyateema
3 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni
4 Fawaylun lilmusalleena
5 Allatheena hum AAan salatihim sahoona
6 Allatheena hum yuraoona
7 WayamnaAAoona almaAAoona



The Small Kindnesses

1 Have you seen him who denies the Recompense?
2 That is he who repulses the orphan (harshly),
3 And urges not on the feeding of Al-Miskin (the poor),
4 So woe unto those performers of Salat (prayers) (hypocrites),
5 Those who delay their Salat (prayer from their stated fixed times).
6 Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men),
7 And prevent Al-Ma'un (small kindnesses like salt, sugar, water).

Surah 106 Quraish [Quraish]

106 Quraish

1 Lieelafi qurayshin
2 Eelafihim rihlata alshshitai waalssayfi
3 FalyaAAbudoo rabba hatha albayti
4 Allathee atAAamahum min jooAAin waamanahum min khawfin



Quraish

1 (It is a great Grace from Allah) for the protection of the Quraish,
2 (And with all those Allah's Grace and Protections, We cause) the (Quraish) caravans to set forth safe in winter (to the south) and in summer (to the north without any fear),
3 So let them worship (Allah) the Lord of this House (the Ka'bah in Makkah),
4 (He) Who has fed them against hunger, and has made them safe from fear.

Surah 105 Al-Fil [The Elephant]

105 Al-Fil

1 Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli
2 Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin
3 Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela
4 Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin
5 FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin



The Elephant

1 Have you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) not seen how your Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant? [The Elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Ka'bah at Makkah].
2 Did He not make their plot go astray?
3 And He sent against them birds, in flocks,
4 Striking them with stones of Sijjil (baked clay).
5 And He made them like (an empty field of) stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).

Surah 104 Al-Humaza [The Slanderer]

104 Al-Humaza

1 1Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
2 Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
3 Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
4 Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
5 Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
6 Naru Allahi almooqadatu
7 Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
8 lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun

9 Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin



The Slanderer

1 Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
2 Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
3 He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
4 Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
5 And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
6 The fire of Allah kindled,
7 Which leaps up over the hearts,
8 Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
9 In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).

Surah 103 Al-Asr [The Time]

103 Al-Asr

1 WaalAAasri
2 Inna alinsana lafee khusrin
3 Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati watawasaw bialhaqqi watawasaw bialssabri



The Time

1 By Al-'Asr (the time).
2 Verily, man is in loss,
3 Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth [i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-Ma'ruf) which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar which Allah has forbidden], and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad).

Surah 102 At-Takathur [The Piling Up - The Emulous Desire]

102 At-Takathur

1 Alhakumu alttakathuru
2 Hatta zurtumu almaqabira
3 Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
4 Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona
5 Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni
6 Latarawunna aljaheema
7 Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni
8 Thumma latusalunna yawmaithin AAani alnnaAAeemi



The Piling Up - The Emulous Desire

1 The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
2 Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
3 Nay! You shall come to know!
4 Again nay! You shall come to know!
5 Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
6 Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
7 And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
8 Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!

Surah 101 Al-Qaria [The Striking Hour]

101 Al-Qaria

1 AlqariAAatu
2 Ma alqariAAatu
3 Wama adraka ma alqariAAatu
4 Yawma yakoonu alnnasu kaalfarashi almabthoothi
5 Watakoonu aljibalu kaalAAihni almanfooshi
6 Faamma man thaqulat mawazeenuhu
7 Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
8 Waamma man khaffat mawazeenuhu
9 Faommuhu hawiyatun
10 Wama adraka ma hiyah
11 Narun hamiyatun



The Striking Hour

1 Al-Qari'ah (the striking Hour i.e. the Day of Resurrection).
2 What is the striking (Hour)?
3 And what will make you know what the striking (Hour) is?
4 It is a Day whereon mankind will be like moths scattered about.
5 And the mountains will be like carded wool.
6 Then as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy,
7 He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise).
8 But as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be light,
9 He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell).
10 And what will make you know what it is?
11 (It is) a fiercely blazing Fire!
