In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
1
(He) frowned and turned away,
2
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
3
But what could tell you 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 you do attend;
7
Though it is no blame to you if he does not grow (in spiritual understanding).
8
But as to him who came to you striving earnestly,
9
And with fear (in his heart),
10
Of him you were unmindful.
11
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
12
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
13
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honor,
14
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
15
(Written) by the hands of scribes -
16
Honorable and pious and just.
17
Woe to man! What has made him reject Allah?
18
From what stuff has He created him?
19
From a sperm-drop: He has created him, and then moulded him in due proportion;
20
Then He makes his path smooth for him;
21
Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave;
22
Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).
23
By no means he has fulfillled what Allah has 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 (bright),
39
Laughing, rejoicing.
40
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained;
41
Blackness will cover them:
42
Such will be the Unbelievers, the Doers of Iniquity.
