Al-Balad 90:15

What It Means: Reading in Context

This is a complete numbered verse but a continuation of the feeding described in 90:14. It identifies an orphan related to the giver. Verse 90:16 names another recipient, while 90:17 connects these deeds to faith, patience and mercy. Read the linked sequence together. This entry presents Qur’an 90:15 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.
