Explanation of Surah Al-Maoon

Al Maoon means the domestic articles. There are two subjects of this Surah.  First three verses deal with disbelieves.

1. Who reject the day of requital.
2. Who deny the legitimate rights of orphans.
3. Refusing to serve food to poor and discouraging others to do it.
4. The Last four verse relate to hypocrites, who trifled with their prayers and  used them merely for window-dressing purpose. Their lacked humility, punctuality  and sincerity. Such persons were generally unsympathetic and unresponsive to  others. They were so conservative that they were even not ready to lend or loan  articles of domestic utility such as a vessel, needle or spade to others and  their neighbours.
