In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |
1. | 
(The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned
away, |
2. | 
Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullâh
bin Umm-Maktûm, who came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him)
while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs). |
3. | 
But what could tell you that per chance he might become
pure (from sins)? |
4. | 
Or that he might receive admonition, and that 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 Allâh). |
8. | 
But as to him who came to you running. |
9. | 
And is afraid (of Allâh and His Punishment), |
10. | 
Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention
to another, |
11. | 
Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses
of this Qur'ân) are an admonition, |
12. | 
So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. |
13. | 
(It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh
Al-Mahfûz). |
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. | 
That 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 Abba (herbage, etc.), |
32. | 
(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. |
33. | 
Then, when there comes As-Sâkhkhah (the
Day of Resurrection's second blowing of Trumpet), |
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 Islâmic 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 Allâh,
in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him),
etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers). |
