Surah 107

Key structural observations

The surah is structured by one law: the invisible unmasks the visible. Impressive religion is tested by the almost-costless act that reveals whether mercy is really present.
Its movement descends from public claim to low-cost indicator: pushing away the orphan, not even urging the feeding of the poor, then prayer emptied into display.
The surah's decisive criterion is the small service: what costs almost nothing exposes the truth of what looked spiritually significant.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّينِ

فَذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يَدُعُّ الْيَتِيمَ

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

فَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ

الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ

الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاءُونَ

وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ
