Al-Balad 90:14

What It Means: Reading in Context

This verse continues the explanation of the ascent in Al-Balad. Verses 90:15–16 name an orphan who is a relative and a person in severe poverty as recipients. Although the source translation ends with a full stop here, the meaning continues into those verses, which are linked. This entry presents Qur’an 90:14 from Surah Al-Balad, 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.
