1. |
The (Prophet) frowned and turned away. |
|
2. |
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). |
|
3. |
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might Grow (in spiritual understanding)? |
|
4. |
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? |
|
5. |
As to one who regards himself as self-sufficient, |
|
6. |
To him dost thou attend; |
|
7. |
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding). |
|
8. |
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly, |
|
9. |
And with fear (in his heart) |
|
10. |
Of him wast thou unmindful. |
|
11. |
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction: |
|
12. |
Therefore let who will, keep it in remembrance. |
|
13. |
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour. |
|
14. |
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy, |
|
15. |
(Written) by the hands of scribes― |
|
16. |
Honourable and Pious and Just. |
|
17. |
Woe to man! what hath made him reject Allah? |
|
18. |
From what stuff Hath He created him? |
|
19. |
From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions; |
|
20. |
Then, doth He make His path smooth for him; |
|
21. |
Then, He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his Grave; |
|
22. |
Then, when it is His will, He will raise him up (again). |
|
23. |
By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah Hath commanded him. |
|
24. |
Then let man look at his Food, (and how We provide it): |
|
25. |
For that We pour forth water in abundance, |
|
26. |
And We split the earth in fragments, |
|
27. |
And produce therein Corn, |
|
28. |
And Grapes and nutritious Plants, |
|
29. |
And Olives and Dates, |
|
30. |
And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees |
|
31. |
And Fruits and Fodder― |
|
32. |
For use and convenience to you and your cattle. |
|
33. |
At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise― |
|
34. |
That Day shall a man flee from his own brother. |
|
35. |
And from his mother and his father. |
|
36. |
And from his wife and his children. |
|
37. |
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others. |
|
38. |
Some Faces that Day will be beaming. |
|
39. |
Laughing, rejoicing. |
|
40. |
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained; |
|
41. |
Blackness will cover them: |
|
42. |
Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the Doers of Iniquity. |
