Ash-Shams 91:10

What It Means: Reading in Context

This completes the contrast in 91:9–10, following the mention of the soul and its awareness of right and wrong in 91:7–8. Pickthall’s it refers to the soul. This entry presents Qur’an 91:10 from Surah Ash-Shams, 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.
