The Asker and the Deprived
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ ٢٥
For the beggar and the destitute.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
For the one who asks and the deprived.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this right is for both the needy who ask and the poor who do not ask, too ashamed to beg.
Reflect
Notice today the need of someone too shy to ask.
