What It Means: Reading in Context
These are the words of the givers described in 76:8, presented within the Qur’anic passage. They explain the intention behind feeding others, without seeking payment or thanks from the recipients. Verse 76:10 continues their speech, so all three verses are linked together. This entry presents Qur’an 76:9 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.
