Yusuf Ali

1 (The Prophet) frowned and turned away,

Yusuf Ali

2 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).

Yusuf Ali

3 But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? -

Yusuf Ali

4 Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?

Yusuf Ali

5 As to one who regards Himself as self - sufficient,

Yusuf Ali

6 To him dost thou attend;

Yusuf Ali

7 Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).

Yusuf Ali

8 But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,

Yusuf Ali

9 And with fear (in his heart),

Yusuf Ali

10 Of him wast thou unmindful.

Yusuf Ali

11 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:

Yusuf Ali

12 Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.

Yusuf Ali

13 (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,

Yusuf Ali

14 Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,

Yusuf Ali

15 (Written) by the hands of scribes -

Yusuf Ali

16 Honourable and Pious and Just.

Yusuf Ali

17 Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;

Yusuf Ali

18 From what stuff hath He created him?

Yusuf Ali

19 From a sperm - drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;

Yusuf Ali

20 Then doth He make His path smooth for him;

Yusuf Ali

21 Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;

Yusuf Ali

22 Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).

Yusuf Ali

23 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.

Yusuf Ali

24 Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):

Yusuf Ali

25 For that We pour forth water in abundance,

Yusuf Ali

26 And We split the earth in fragments,

Yusuf Ali

27 And produce therein corn,

Yusuf Ali

28 And Grapes and nutritious plants,

Yusuf Ali

29 And Olives and Dates,

Yusuf Ali

30 And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,

Yusuf Ali

31 And fruits and fodder, -

Yusuf Ali

32 For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

Yusuf Ali

33 At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise, -

Yusuf Ali

34 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,

Yusuf Ali

35 And from his mother and his father,

Yusuf Ali

36 And from his wife and his children.

Yusuf Ali

37 Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.

Yusuf Ali

38 Some faces that Day will be beaming,

Yusuf Ali

39 Laughing, rejoicing.

Yusuf Ali

40 And other faces that Day will be dust - stained,

Yusuf Ali

41 Blackness will cover them:

Yusuf Ali

42 Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
