| 1. * | The prophet frowned, and turned aside, |
| 2. * | because the blind man came unto him: |
| 3. * | And how dost thou know whether he shall peradventure be cleansed from his sins; |
| 4. * | or whether he shall be admonished, and the admonition shall profit him? |
| 5. * | The man who is wealthy, |
| 6. * | thou receivest respectfully; |
| 7. * | whereas it is not to be charged on thee, that he is not cleansed: |
| 8. * | But him who cometh unto thee earnestly seeking his salvation, |
| 9. * | and who feareth God, |
| 10. * | dost thou neglect. |
| 11. * | By no means shouldest thou act thus. |
| 12. * | Verily the Koran is an admonition; -- and he who is willing retaineth the same; -- |
| 13. * | written in volumes honourable, |
| 14. * | exalted, and pure; |
| 15. * | by the hands of scribes honoured, |
| 16. * | and just. |
| 17. * | May man be cursed! What hath seduced him to infidelity? |
| 18. * | Of what thing doth God create him? |
| 19. * | Of a drop of seed doth He create him; and He formeth him with proportion; |
| 20. * | and then facilitateth his passage out of the womb: |
| 21. * | Afterwards He causeth him to die, and layeth him in the grave; |
| 22. * | hereafter, when it shall please Him, He shall raise him to life. |
| 23. * | Assuredly. He hath not hitherto fully performed what God hath commanded him. |
| 24. * | Let man consider his food; in what manner it is provided. |
| 25. * | We pour down water by showers; |
| 26. * | afterwards We cleave the earth in clefts, |
| 27. * | and We cause corn to spring forth therein, |
| 28. * | and grapes, and clover, |
| 29. * | and the olive, and the palm, |
| 30. * | and gardens planted thick with trees, |
| 31. * | and fruits, and grass, |
| 32. * | for the use of yourselves and of your cattle. |
| 33. * | When the stunning sound of the trumpet shall be heard; |
| 34. * | on that day shall a man fly from his brother, |
| 35. * | and his mother, and his father, |
| 36. * | and his wife, and his children. |
| 37. * | Every man of them, on that day, shall have business of his own sufficient to employ his thoughts. |
| 38. * | On that day the faces of some shall be bright, |
| 39. * | laughing, and joyful: |
| 40. * | And upon the faces of others, on that day, shall there be dust; |
| 41. * | darkness shall cover them. |
| 42. * | These are the unbelievers, the wicked. |
