He, -the Messenger- frowned and turned away
When the blind man came in (and interrupted his exhortation to some of the Qurashite nobilities who tried to suppress his mission and stood in his way)
"You Muhammad do not know; he -the blind man- may well hug faith to his innermost thoughts and to his innermost being and commend his secret feelings to Allah
Or he might ponder what he learns and profit by it
But he who is rich, with abundant means at command
You give him attention, hoping he would submit
Yet you are absolved if his disbelief in Allah does not remit
But he who comes to you seeking authoritative counsel and admonition
With heart full of reverence and mindful of submission
you are unmindful of him and you give him little attention."
No indeed, but let this incident be an admonition
and he who wishes, may keep Allah in mind and imprint in his heart His Glorious Quran which conduces to piety and to contritio
A Quran recorded in Books, honoured and highly esteemed
Exalted, absolute and pure honourably deemed
Recorded by Scribes emblematic of trust
Honourable, pious and just
Accursed be man, how he fights against his own good the best he can
From what primordium did Allah create him
From a seed in fluid emitted did He create him and animate, and his dimensions and his life span, his provisions and his lot did He determine, and his intellect did He actuate.
Then He guided him to the path of safety and righteousness and his course did He facilitat
Then He occasioned his death and in the grave did He deposit and inanimate
Then when He wills, He shall resurrect him and animate
But no, he never fulfilled what Allah has commanded and ordained
Let man take a look at his food
We poured down rain-water in quantities which stream and flow
Then We split the earth and break up the soil to allow water in and vegetations to grow
Therein We grew edible grain
Grapes and herbage
Olive trees and palm-dates
Gardens of perennial and other purposeful trees
and fruits and fodder
Sustenance for you and for your cattle
Then when the deafening uproarious eventful Event* comes about
Man shall then flee from his own brother
From his mother and his father
and from his wife and his children
For each of them then, there is enough trouble of his own
Some faces will then be beaming
Smiling and rejoicing in all seeming
Other faces will be coated with gloom
A painful depressing darkness they shall assume
These are the wicked infidels who impudently defied admonition
