Al-Insaan 76:8

What It Means: Reading in Context

This verse describes feeding people in need, an orphan and a captive. Verses 76:9–10 continue with the givers’ intention and concern for the Day of Judgement. Pickthall connects the love in this verse to Allah; other renderings on the source page refer to giving despite attachment to the food. The credited translation is retained without combining the alternatives. This entry presents Qur’an 76:8 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.
