About Surah Al-Ma'un

Al-Ma'un, the Small Kindnesses, exposes those whose religion is only show. It describes the one who repels the orphan and does not encourage feeding the poor, and warns those who pray for display while neglecting its meaning and withholding even simple acts of kindness. It ties true faith to how we treat others.
