Surah “He Frowned”

as rendered by Abdul Majid Daryabadi — 42 verses

He frowned and turned away
Because there came Unto him a blind man
How canst thou know, whether haply he might be cleansed
Or be admonished, so that the admonition might have profited him
As for him who regardeth himself self-sufficient
Unto him thou attendest
Whereas it is not on thee that he is not cleansed
And as for him who cometh Unto thee running
And he feareth'
Him thou neglectest
By no means! Verily it is an admonition
So whosoever willeth-let him be admonished therewlth
Inscribed in Writs honoured,"
Exalted, Purified
By the hands of scribes
Honourable and virtuous
Perish man! how ungrateful he is
Of what thing hath He created him
Of a drop of seed. He created him and formed him according to a measure
Then the way He made easy
Then He caused him to die and made him to be buried
Then when He listeth, He shall raise him to life
By no means He performed not that which He had commanded him
Let man look at his food
It is We Who pour forth water, pouring
Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts
Then We cause therein the grain to grow
And grapes and vegetable
And olives and palm
And enclosed gardens luxuriant
And fruits and herbage
A provision for you and for your cattle
Then when cometh the Deafening Cry
On the Day whereon a man shall flee from his brother
And his mother and his father
And his wife and his sons
For every one of them on that Day shall be business enough to occupy
Faces on that Day shall be beaming
Laughing, rejoicing
And faces on that Day! upon them shall be gloom
Dust shall cover the
Those! they are the infidels, the ungodly
