80: He Frowned!
| |
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 God;
| |
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 God 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 God, the doers of iniquity.
