1
He frowned and turned away
2
that the blind man came to him.[1]
3
How could you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself,
4
or he might be mindful and good counsel might avail him.
5
Now he who waxes indifferent,
6
you attend to him,
7
though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself.
8
But he who comes to you running,
9
and fears (Allah),
10
you pay no heed to him.[1]
11
No indeed;[1] this is only a Reminder.[2]
12
So whoso wills may give heed to it.
13
It is contained in scrolls highly honoured,
14
most exalted and purified,[1]
15
borne by the hands of scribes,
16
noble[1] and purified.[2]
17
Accursed[1] be man![2] How stubbornly he denies the Truth.
18
Out of what did Allah create him?
19
Out of a sperm-drop[1] did He create him and then determined a measure for him,[2]
20
and then made the course of life easy for him,[1]
21
then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave,[1]
22
and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life.[1]
23
Nay, but man did not fulfil what Allah had enjoined upon him.[1]
24
So let man just consider his food:[1]
25
We poured water, pouring it in great abundance,[1]
26
and cleaved the earth, cleaving it asunder;[1]
27
then caused the grain to grow out of it,
28
together with grapes and vegetables,
29
and olives and palms,
30
and dense orchards,
31
and fruits and pastures –
32
all this as a provision for you and your cattle.[1]
33
But when the deafening cry shall be sounded[1]
34
on the Day when each man shall flee from his brother,
35
and his mother and his father;
36
and his consort and his children;[1]
37
on that Day each will be occupied with his own business, making him oblivious of all save himself.[1]
38
Some faces on that Day shall be beaming with happiness,
39
and be cheerful and joyous.
40
Some faces on that Day shall be dust-ridden,
41
enveloped by darkness.
42
These will be the unbelievers, the wicked.
