* | quran | * | 80. `abasa. he frowned      <   > 

y_ali_2
 
1.  *     (The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
 
2.  *     Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
 
3.  *     But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?-
 
4.  *     Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
 
5.  *     As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,
 
6.  *     To him dost thou attend;
 
7.  *     Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
 
8.  *     But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
 
9.  *     And with fear (in his heart),
 
10.  *     Of him wast thou unmindful.
 
11.  *     By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
 
12.  *     Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
 
13.  *     (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
 
14.  *     Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
 
15.  *     (Written) by the hands of scribes-
 
16.  *     Honourable and Pious and Just.
 
17.  *     Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;
 
18.  *     From what stuff hath He created him?
 
19.  *     From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;
 
20.  *     Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
 
21.  *     Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;
 
22.  *     Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).
 
23.  *     By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.
 
24.  *     Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):
 
25.  *     For that We pour forth water in abundance,
 
26.  *     And We split the earth in fragments,
 
27.  *     And produce therein corn,
 
28.  *     And Grapes and nutritious plants,
 
29.  *     And Olives and Dates,
 
30.  *     And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
 
31.  *     And fruits and fodder,-
 
32.  *     For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
 
33.  *     At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,-
 
34.  *     That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,
 
35.  *     And from his mother and his father,
 
36.  *     And from his wife and his children.
 
37.  *     Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
 
38.  *     Some faces that Day will be beaming,
 
39.  *     Laughing, rejoicing.
 
40.  *     And other faces that Day will be dust-stained,
 
41.  *     Blackness will cover them:
 
42.  *     Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
