What It Means: Reading in Context

This continues the description of believers from 23:1. Pickthall’s vain conversation renders al-laghw, also translated as idle or ill speech on the linked page. This entry presents Qur’an 23:3 from Surah Al-Muminoon, with Arabic text and Marmaduke Pickthall’s English translation. The translation conveys meaning in English; it is not a replacement for the Arabic Qur’an. Read the linked passage with the verses before and after it, particularly when a sentence continues across verse boundaries. The topics shown here are editorial reading aids rather than an exhaustive interpretation of the passage. Our short reflection offers a possible practical response, clearly separated from scripture. It should not be repeated as a verse, hadith or authoritative tafsir. For detailed interpretation or questions about religious practice, consult qualified scholarship and the complete source.
