Surah “He Frowned”

as rendered by Edip Yuksel — 42 verses

He frowned and turned away.
When the blind one came to him.
What makes you know, perhaps he is seeking to purify?
Or to remember, so the remembrance will benefit him?
As for the one who was conceited;
To him you attended.
Why does it concern you that he does not want to purify?
As for the one who came to you seeking.
While he was fearful.
You were too preoccupied for him.
No, this is but a reminder.
For whoever wills to remember.
In records which are honorable.
Exalted and pure.
By the hands of scribes.
Honorable and righteous.
Woe to human being; how unappreciative!
From what did He create him?
From a seed He created him and designed him.
Then the path He made easy for him.
Then He made him die and buried him.
Then if He wishes He resurrects him.
Alas, he did not fulfill what He commanded him.
Let the human being look to his provisions.
We have poured the water abundantly.
Then We cracked the land with cracks.
We made grow in it seeds.
Grapes and pasture.
Olives and palm trees.
Gardens in variety.
Fruits and vegetables.
An enjoyment for you and your livestock.
So when the screaming shout comes.
The day when a person will run from his brother.
His mother and father.
His mate and children.
For every person on that day is a matter that concerns him.
On that day are faces which are openly displayed.
Laughing and seeking good news.
Faces on that day with dust on them.
Being burdened by remorse.
Those are the ingrates, the wicked.
