Background:
The Surah serves as an indication that hypocrisy was becoming an issue for the Muslim ummah. For that reason some consider this Surah to be from the Medinan period, however, many Quran exegetes maintain that Surah Maun remains an early Meccan surah.
The message of this Surah is pure, the title itself Ma’un refers to acts of kindness, charity, or any kind of small help. The last verse of the Surah mentions, woe to those who refuse any small act of kindness, referring either to zakat which is a small portion of one’s wealth (2.5%), or could be referring to the denial of small acts of kindness that on surface value seem negligible or inconsequential. We can see the same sentiment passed along in the hadith, Jabir bin Abdullah relayed that the Messenger of Allah encouraged good behavior no matter how small, “Every good is charity. Indeed among the good is to meet your brother with a smiling face, and to pour what is left in your bucket into the vessel of your brother.” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1970)
The Surah outlines behavior that should not be tolerated in Islam like insulting orphans or refusing to feed the hungry if Allah has given them the means to do so. It also warns those who may be neglectful during their prayer or those who make a show of their prayer for some political gain by showing off their piousness or religious commitment.

شروع کرتا ہوں اللہ تعالیٰ کے نام سے جو بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم واﻻ ہے
अल्लाह के नाम से जो रहमान व रहीम है।
Dengan nama Allah, Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Mengasihani.
Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?
Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)?
Did you see him who gives the lie to the Reward and Punishment of the Hereafter?
Have you seen him who denies the Recompense?
Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?

کیا تو نے (اسے بھی) دیکھا جو (روز) جزا کو جھٹلاتا ہے؟
क्या तुमने उस शख़्श को भी देखा है जो रोज़ जज़ा को झुठलाता है
Tahukah engkau akan orang yang mendustakan ugama (meliputi hari pembalasan)?
For that is the one who drives away the orphan
Then such is the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness),
Such is the one who repulses the orphans away,
That is he who repulses the orphan (harshly),
That is he who repelleth the orphan,

It is he who pushes aside the orphan
یہی وه ہے جو یتیم کو دھکے دیتا ہے
ये तो वही (कम्बख्त) है जो यतीम को धक्के देता है
Orang itu ialah yang menindas serta berlaku zalim kepada anak yatim,
And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.
And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.
and urges not the feeding of the needy.
And urges not the feeding of AlMiskin (the poor),
And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.
And does not urge the (offering) of food to the indigent.

اور مسکین کو کھلانے کی ترغیب نہیں دیتا
और मोहताजों को खिलाने के लिए (लोगों को) आमादा नहीं करता
Dan ia tidak menggalakkan untuk memberi makanan yang berhak diterima oleh orang miskin.
So woe to those who pray
So woe to the worshippers
Woe, then, to those who pray,
So woe unto those performers of Salat (prayers) (hypocrites),
Ah, woe unto worshippers
So woe to the ones who pray,
So woe to those who pray
ان نمازیوں کے لئے افسوس (اور ویل نامی جہنم کی جگہ) ہے
तो उन नमाज़ियों की तबाही है
(Kalau orang yang demikian dikira dari bilangan orang-orang yang mendustakan ugama), maka kecelakaan besar bagi orang-orang Ahli Sembahyang –
[But] who are heedless of their prayer –
Who are neglectful of their prayers,
but are heedless in their Prayers,
Who delay their Salat (prayer) from their stated fixed times,
Who are heedless of their prayer;
Who are they that are unmindful of their prayer,
but are heedless of their prayer;
جو اپنی نماز سے غافل ہیں
जो अपनी नमाज़ से ग़ाफिल रहते हैं
(laitu) mereka yang berkeadaan lalai daripada menyempurnakan sembahyangnya;
Those who make show [of their deeds]
Those who (want but) to be seen (of men),
those who do good (in order) to be seen,
Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men),
Who would be seen (at worship)
Who are they that show off,
those who are all show
جو ریاکاری کرتے ہیں
जो दिखाने के वास्ते करते हैं
(Juga bagi) orang-orang yang berkeadaan riak (bangga diri dalam ibadat dan bawaannya),
And withhold [simple] assistance.
But refuse (to supply) (even) neighbourly needs.
and deny people the articles of common necessity.
And refuse Al-Ma’un (small kindnesses e.g. salt, sugar, water, etc.).
Yet refuse small kindnesses!
And (refuse and) prevent (small) kindnesses.
and forbid common kindnesses.
اور برتنے کی چیز روکتے ہیں
और रोज़मर्रा की मालूली चीज़ें भी आरियत नहीं देते
Dan orang-orang yang tidak memberi sedikit pertolongan (kepada orang yang berhak mendapatnya).
