How do we reconcile Allah's verses in Surat Al-Ma'un, "Have you seen him who denies the religion? That is he who repulses the orphan," with the reality of disbelievers who care for orphans and feed the poor?

The meaning of the noble verse is that it is characteristic of the denier of the Day of Judgment to be described with the traits mentioned in the verses; because he does not hope for reward nor fear punishment. This is among his signs and the necessary characteristics of his kind. Allah Almighty has made the sign of the denier the audacity to harm the weak and the refusal to do good deeds. If he had believed in recompense and been certain of the threat of punishment, he would have feared Allah and His retribution, and would not have committed those acts. His committing them indicates his denial of recompense.
