Al-A'laa 87:14

What It Means: Reading in Context

This verse begins a connected passage in Al-Ala about purification, remembrance and prayer. Pickthall’s word “groweth” is retained exactly; other translations on the linked comparison page express the Arabic in terms of purification. Verse 87:15 continues the description, so this is not merely a statement about worldly success. This entry presents Qur’an 87:14 from Surah Al-A'laa, 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.
