إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا يَوْمًا عَبُوسًۭا قَمْطَرِيرًۭا
Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate.

What It Means: Reading in Context
This verse continues the words of the givers in 76:9 and places their charitable conduct in the setting of accountability before their Lord. The next verse, 76:11, describes Allah protecting them from that day’s distress and granting joy. The warning belongs within this fuller passage of devotion and hope. This entry presents Qur’an 76:10 from Surah Al-Insaan, 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.
