English - Chapter 80 - Abasa

HE FROWNED AND turned away

Because a blind man came to him

What made you think that he will not grow in virtue

Or be admonished, and the admonition profit him

As for him who is not in want of any thing

You pay full attention

Though it is not your concern if he should not grow (in fulness)

As for him who comes to you striving (after goodness)

And is also fearful (of God)

You neglect

Assuredly this is a reminder

For any one who desires to bear it in mind

(Contained) in honoured pages

Exalted and holy

In the hands of scribes

Noble and pious

Accursed is man. How ungrateful is he

Of what substance God created him

From a single sperm He created, then proportioned him

Then made his passage easy (at birth)

Then He will raise him up again when He please

But no. He has not fulfilled what was enjoined on him

Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food

We poured down rain abundantly

Then We cracked the earth open under pressure (of germination)

And We made corn grow

And grapes and herbage

Olives and dates

Orchards thick with trees

And fruits and fodder

A provision for you and your cattle

But when the great calamity comes

Man will fly from his brother

Mother and father

As well as his wife and children

Each man will have enough cares that day

Many faces will that day be bright

Laughing and full of joy

And many will be dust-begrimed

Covered with the blackness (of shame)

They will be the unbelievers, transgressors
