English - Chapter 80

He frowned and turned away

when the blind man came to him

How would you know? Perhaps he might be purified

or he might take heed and benefit from the reminder

But he who was indifferent

you give him your full attention

although you are not to be blamed if he does not purify himself

But as for the one who came to you striving [for purification]

and he fears Allah

you let yourself to be distracted from him

No indeed; this is a reminder –

so whoever wills may give heed to it –

on venerable pages

exalted and purified

[preserved] in the hands of angel-scribes

honorable and obedient

Woe to man; how ungrateful he is

From what did He create him

He created him from a drop of semen and proportioned him

then He made the way easy for him

then He caused him to die and be buried

then when He wills, He will resurrect him

Yet he has not fulfilled what He commanded him

Let man consider the food he eats

How We poured down rainwater in torrents

and caused the soil to split open [for sprouts]

and cause grains to grow in it

as well as grapes and fodder

and olive trees and date palms

and dense orchards

and fruits and grass

as provision for you and your livestock

But when the Deafening Blast comes

on that Day everyone will flee from his sibling

and from his mother and father

and from his wife and children

On that day, everyone will have enough concern of his own

On that Day, some faces will be bright

cheerful and rejoicing

while other faces will be dust-stained

covered in darkness

Such are the disbelievers, the wicked
