Pushing the Orphan Away
فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِي يَدُعُّ ٱلۡيَتِيمَ ٢
That is he who repelleth the orphan.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
That is the one who pushes the orphan away.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the first sign of one who does not believe in the Judgement is pushing the orphan away. A lack of faith shows in how one treats the weak.
Reflect
Today, do a kindness to an orphan or someone without protection.
