Sura LXXX (80)
He Frowned
(
________________________________________
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
He
Frowned, and he turned his back,
Because
the blind man came to him!
But
what assured thee that he would not be cleansed by the Faith,
Or be
warned, and the warning profit him?
As to
him who is wealthy --
To him
thou wast all attention:
Yet is
it not thy concern if he be not cleansed:
But as
to him who cometh to thee in earnest,
And
full of fears --
80:10 Him dost thou neglect.
Nay!
but it (the Koran) is a warning;
(And
whoso is willing beareth it in mind)
Written
on honoured pages,
Exalted,
purified,
By the
hands of Scribes, honoured, righteous.
Cursed
be man! What hath made him unbelieving?
Of
what thing did God create him,
80:20 Then made him an easy passage from the
womb,
Then
caused him to die and burieth him;
Then,
when he pleaseth, will raise him again to life.
Aye!
but man hath not yet fulfilled the bidding of his Lord.
Let
man look at his food:
It was
We who rained down the copious rains,
Then
cleft the earth with clefts,
And
caused the upgrowth of the grain,
And
grapes and healing herbs,
And
the olive and the palm,
80:30 And enclosed gardens thick with trees,
And
fruits and herbage,
For
the service of yourselves and of your cattle.
But
when the stunning trumpet-blast shall arrive,
On
that day shall a man fly from his brother,
And
his mother and his father,
And
his wife and his children;
For
every man of them on that day his own concerns shall be enough.
There
shall be faces on that day radiant,
Laughing
and joyous:
80:40 And faces on that day with dust upon
them:
Blackness
shall cover them!
These
are the Infidels, the Impure.
