1

The Prophet frowned and turned away

2

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]

3

But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

4

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

5

As for he who thinks himself without need

6

To him you give attention

7

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified

8

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

9

While he fears [Allah]

10

From him you are distracted

11

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

12

So whoever wills may remember it

13

[It is recorded] in honored sheets

14

Exalted and purified

15

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels

16

Noble and dutiful

17

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

18

From what substance did He create him

19

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him

20

Then He eased the way for him

21

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him

22

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

23

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

24

Then let mankind look at his food

25

How We poured down water in torrents

26

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts]

27

And caused to grow within it grain

28

And grapes and herbage

29

And olive and palm trees

30

And gardens of dense shrubbery

31

And fruit and grass

32

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock

33

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

34

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

35

And his mother and his father

36

And his wife and his children

37

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him

38

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright

39

Laughing, rejoicing at good news

40

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust

41

Blackness will cover them

42

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones
