Transliteration:( Kalla bal laa tukrimooo nal yateem )
17. Reason for its Revelation:Â
Qadama bin Mazoon was an orphan by Umayyah bin Khalaf, who did not fulfill his
rights, nor did he treat him with any kindness. These verses were revealed regarding him (Roohul Mu'ani and Khazainul Irfaan).
From this, emerge two issues:
1. The upbringing of an orphan, giving him good education and correct training is the highest form of worship and a religious and social obligation.
2. The infidels too are duty bound for the upbringing of the orphans because Umayyah bin Khalaf was censured for this indiscretion.
