| 1 | (The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) frowned and turned away. | |
| |
| 2 | Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs). | |
| |
| 3 | And how can you know that he might become pure (from sins)? | |
| |
| 4 | Or he might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him? | |
| |
| 5 | As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient, | |
| |
| 6 | To him you attend; | |
| |
| 7 | What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief: you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah). | |
| |
| 8 | But as to him who came to you running, | |
| |
| 9 | And is afraid (of Allah and His punishment). | |
| |
| 10 | Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another, | |
| |
| 11 | Nay, (do not do like this); indeed it (this Qur'an) is an admonition. | |
| |
| 12 | So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. | |
| |
| 13 | (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), | |
| |
| 14 | Exalted (in dignity), purified, | |
| |
| 15 | In the hands of scribes (angels). | |
| |
| 16 | Honourable and obedient. | |
| |
| 17 | Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! | |
| |
| 18 | From what thing did He create him? | |
| |
| 19 | From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him and then set him in due proportion. | |
| |
| 20 | Then He makes the Path easy for him. | |
| |
| 21 | Then He causes him to die and puts him in his grave. | |
| |
| 22 | Then when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again). | |
| |
| 23 | Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him. | |
| |
| 24 | Then let man look at his food: | |
| |
| 25 | We pour forth water in abundance. | |
| |
| 26 | And We split the earth in clefts. | |
| |
| 27 | And We cause therein the grain to grow, | |
| |
| 28 | And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle), | |
| |
| 29 | And olives and date-palms, | |
| |
| 30 | And gardens dense with many trees, | |
| |
| 31 | And fruits and herbage | |
| |
| 32 | (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. | |
| |
| 33 | Then when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the second blowing of the Trumpet on the Day of Resurrection) | |
| |
| 34 | That Day shall a man flee from his brother, | |
| |
| 35 | And from his mother and his father, | |
| |
| 36 | And from his wife and his children. | |
| |
| 37 | Everyman that Day will have enough to make him careless of others. | |
| |
| 38 | Some faces that Day will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism), | |
| |
| 39 | Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). | |
| |
| 40 | And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained. | |
| |
| 41 | Darkness will cover them. | |
| |
| 42 | Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers). | |
