and Allah said "And proclaim the pilgramage among men; they will come to thee on foot and on every kind of camel. Lean on account of Journeys through deep and distant mountain highways" Surah 22 ~ Al Hajj Part 27
maa'uun - Neighbourly kindness |
Revealed in Makkah
Bismillah arak maan nira heem, Alhamdhulillahi Rabil Alamin; arak maan nira heem Ara-aytallazi yukazzibu bid-Diin? Fa-zaali kallazi yadu'ul yatiim Wa laa yahuzzu alaa ta'aamil-miskiin Fa-way lul-lil musa liin Ala dhina hum an-salaa tihim saahuun Ala dhina hum yuraaa'uuna Wa yama na 'uunal Maa'uun

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Have you seen the one that denies the judgement to come? Then he is the one who repulses the orphan (harshly) And encourages not the feeding of the needy So woe to the worshippers Who are neglectful of their prayers Who are seen (at worship) But refuse (to supply even) neighbourly needs |
This Surah possibly early Makkan or certainly the first half, subjugates the neccessity of true worship that requires faith, the practicle and helpful love of those in need and sincerity rather than show in devotion and charity
