80-1 : (The Prophet) frowned and turned away,

80-2 : Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).

80-3 : But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? -

80-4 : Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?

80-5 : As to one who regards Himself as self - sufficient,

80-6 : To him dost thou attend;

80-7 : Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).

80-8 : But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,

80-9 : And with fear (in his heart),

80-10 : Of him wast thou unmindful.

80-11 : By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:

80-12 : Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.

80-13 : (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,

80-14 : Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,

80-15 : (Written) by the hands of scribes -

80-16 : Honourable and Pious and Just.

80-17 : Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;

80-18 : From what stuff hath He created him?

80-19 : From a sperm - drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;

80-20 : Then doth He make His path smooth for him;

80-21 : Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;

80-22 : Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).

80-23 : By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.

80-24 : Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):

80-25 : For that We pour forth water in abundance,

80-26 : And We split the earth in fragments,

80-27 : And produce therein corn,

80-28 : And Grapes and nutritious plants,

80-29 : And Olives and Dates,

80-30 : And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,

80-31 : And fruits and fodder, -

80-32 : For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

80-33 : At length, when there comes the deafening Noise, -

80-34 : That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,

80-35 : And from his mother and his father,

80-36 : And from his wife and his children.

80-37 : Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.

80-38 : Some faces that Day will be beaming,

80-39 : Laughing, rejoicing.

80-40 : And other faces that Day will be dust - stained,

80-41 : Blackness will cover them:

80-42 : Such will be the rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
