He [the Prophet] frowned and turned away…
…because the blind man approached him.
How do you [O Prophet] know whether he may have corrected himself?
Or whether he may have been reminded [of God] and have benefited from the reminder?
To one who regarded himself as independent,…
…you attended.
There would have been no blame on you, however, if he did not correct himself.
As for one who approached you earnestly…
…and reverently,…
…you were too preoccupied.
That’s not right! It is indeed a reminder [that you have been given].
Therefore, whosoever will may remember it.
[It is] from pages of honor.
[It is] exalted and kept pure…
…by the hands of scribes…
…who are honorable and righteous.
Destruction to humanity! How ungrateful he/she is!
From what did (Allah) create him/her?
He created him/her from sperm, and then He molded him/her in appropriate stages.
He makes his/her path simple [by giving rules by which to live].
He causes him/her to die and be cast into the grave.
In accordance with His will, He will resurrect him/her.
Certainly, (humanity) has not fulfilled what Allah has commanded!
Humanity should consider his/her food.
[He/she should consider] how We pour water in abundance.
We fragment the earth in cracks.
From it are produced grain,…
…grapes, nutritious herbs,
olives, date palms.
[Also produced are] luxurious, enclosed gardens,…
…and fruits and fodder…
…as provision for you and your cattle.
Someday the deafening noise will come.
That day a person will flee from his/her own brother…
…and from his/her mother and father…
…and from his/her spouse and children.
Every person, that day, will have enough worries of his/her own.
Some faces that day will be beaming,…
…laughing, rejoicing.
Some faces that day will be dingy.
Darkness will cover them.
Such will be the unbelievers, the sinners.
