when the blind man came to him[1].
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ﴿3﴾
Ruwwad
How would you know? Perhaps he might be purified[2],
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ﴿4﴾
Ruwwad
or he might take heed and benefit from the reminder?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿5﴾
Ruwwad
But he who was indifferent[3],
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ﴿6﴾
Ruwwad
you give him your full attention,
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ﴿7﴾
Ruwwad
although you are not to be blamed if he does not purify himself[4].
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ﴿8﴾

and he fears Allah,

Ruwwad
you let yourself be distracted from him.

Ruwwad
No indeed; this is a reminder –

Ruwwad
so whoever wills may give heed to it –
فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ﴿13﴾
Ruwwad
on venerable pages,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ﴿14﴾

exalted and purified,

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ﴿18﴾
Ruwwad
From what did He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ﴿19﴾
Ruwwad
He created him from a drop of semen and proportioned him[6],
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ﴿20﴾

Let man consider the food he eats:
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا ﴿25﴾
Ruwwad
How We pour down rainwater in torrents,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا ﴿26﴾
Ruwwad
and cause the soil to split open [for sprouts],
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا ﴿27﴾

and dense orchards,
وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا ﴿31﴾

and fruits and grass,

as provision for you and your livestock.

On that Day, some faces will be bright,
ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ ﴿39﴾
Ruwwad
cheerful and rejoicing;
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ ﴿40﴾
Ruwwad
while other faces will be dust-stained,
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ﴿41﴾
Ruwwad
covered in darkness.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ﴿42﴾
