He (the Prophet) frowned and turned his face
because the blind man came to him
What could tell you (O prophet about the prospects of the blind man?) May be, (if you had attended him properly,) he would have attained purity
or have received the advice, and the advice would have benefited him
As for the one who does not care (about faith)
you are anxious to pursue him
while there is no blame on you, if he does not attain purity
As regards the one who has come to you rushing eagerly
while he fears (Allah)
to him you pay no heed
Never! (you should never act in this way,) Indeed this (Qur‘an) is an advice
So, whoever so wills may pay heed to it
It is (recorded) in those scripts (of the Preserved Tablet) that are honoured
exalted, purified
in the hands of those scribe
who are honorable, righteous
Damned is the man! How ungrateful he is
From which stuff did He (Allah) create him
from a drop of semen! He created him, and designed him in due proportion
then He made the way easy for him
Later, he made him die, and put him into grave
Thereafter, when He will intend, He will raise him up
No! He has not yet fulfilled what He (Allah) had commanded him
So, the man should consider his food
how well We poured water
then how nicely We split the earth
then We grew in it grain
and grapes and greens
and olive and date-palms
and gardens, full of thick trees
and fruits and fodder
as a benefit for you and your cattle
So when the Deafening Noise will occur
the Day when one will flee from his brother
and from his mother and father
and from his wife and sons
every one of them will be too engaged in his own affairs to care for others
Many faces, on that day, will be bright
laughing, rejoicing
and many faces, on that day, will be stained with dust
covered by darkness
Those are the disbelievers, the nefarious
