Surah “He Frowned”

as rendered by Abdul Hye — 42 verses

He (the prophet) frowned and turned away,
when there came to him the blind man (Abdullah bin Umme Maktoom, who came to the prophet while the prophet was preaching to the chiefs of Makkah).
And how can you know? He might become pure (from sins)
or he might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him.
As for those who think themselves indifferent,
to whom you were attending;
you will not be held responsible, if they would not purify themselves (your duty is to convey the message of Allah).
Yet, to him who came to you running (with enthusiasm)
and with fear (of Allah),
you were unmindful from him.
Nay, (you should not do so), indeed this is an admonition;
so those who want, let them pay attention to it.
It is written in honored records,
exalted (in dignity), purified,
in the hands of scribes (angels),
(who are) honorable and obedient.
Be cursed (disbelieving) people! How ungrateful they are!
Out of what He has created them?
From semen drop He has created them and then set them in due proportion,
then makes their way (of life) easy for them,
then causes them to die and puts them in their graves.
Then, He will surely resurrect them again when He wills.
Nay, but they (disbelievers) have not fulfilled what He has commanded them.
Then let people look at their food.
We pour out water (rain) in abundance
then split the earth (soil) in clefts.
And We cause to grow in it the grain,
and grapes and clover plants,
and olives and date-palms,
and gardens, dense with many trees,
and fruits and fodder,
as a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.
Then when there will come the deafening shout,
on that Day a person will flee from his brother,
and his mother and his father,
and his spouse and its children.
On that Day, every person will have enough concern to become careless of others
Some faces on that Day will be bright (for true believers),
laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise).
And other faces on that Day will be dusty,
darkness will cover them.
Such will be the (faces of the) disbelieving wicked.
