(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 purity?-
|
4. |
Or that he might receive admonition, and the reminder 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 purity.
|
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 remembrance:
|
12. |
Therefore let whose 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 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 grain,
|
28. |
And Grapes and fresh vegetation,
|
29. |
And Olives and Dates,
|
30. |
And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
|
31. |
And fruits and fodder,-
|
32. |
A provision for 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. |
Darkness will cover them:
|
42. |
Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the Doers of Iniquity.
