English Translation
17—No! In fact, you do not protect and look after the orphan.
Explanatory translation
17No! The truth is that Allah possesses boundless grace, mercy, and justice. But, O ungrateful ones, you do not act in ways that would earn it. In truth, you expect Allah to give you everything you ask of Him. Yet you do not protect and look after the orphan who has no one, and you always shy away from giving him his due for Allah’s sake.
