He frowned and turned ˹his attention˺ away, 80:1
˹simply˺ because the blind man came to him ˹interrupting˺.1 80:2
You never know ˹O Prophet˺, perhaps he may be purified, 80:3
or he may be mindful, benefitting from the reminder. 80:4
As for the one who was indifferent, 80:5
you gave him your ˹undivided˺ attention, 80:6
even though you are not to blame if he would not be purified. 80:7
But as for the one who came to you, eager ˹to learn˺, 80:8
being in awe ˹of Allah˺, 80:9
you were inattentive to him. 80:10
But no! This ˹revelation˺ is truly a reminder. 80:11
So let whoever wills be mindful of it. 80:12
It is ˹written˺ on pages held in honour— 80:13
highly esteemed, purified— 80:14
by the hands of angel-scribes, 80:15
honourable and virtuous. 80:16
Condemned are ˹disbelieving˺ humans! How ungrateful they are ˹to Allah˺! 80:17
From what substance did He create them? 80:18
He created them from a sperm-drop, and ordained their development. 80:19
Then He makes the way easy for them,1 80:20
then causes them to die and be buried.1 80:21
Then when He wills, He will resurrect them. 80:22
But no! They have failed to comply with what He ordered. 80:23
Let people then consider their food: 80:24
how We pour down rain in abundance 80:25
and meticulously split the earth open ˹for sprouts˺, 80:26
causing grain to grow in it, 80:27
as well as grapes and greens, 80:28
and olives and palm trees, 80:29
and dense orchards, 80:30
and fruit and fodder— 80:31
all as ˹a means of˺ sustenance for you and your animals. 80:32
Then, when the Deafening Blast1 comes to pass— 80:33
on that Day every person will flee from their own siblings, 80:34
and ˹even˺ their mother and father, 80:35
and ˹even˺ their spouse and children. 80:36
For then everyone will have enough concern of their own. 80:37
On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright, 80:38
laughing and rejoicing, 80:39
while ˹other˺ faces will be dusty, 80:40
cast in gloom— 80:41
those are the disbelievers, the ˹wicked˺ sinners. 80:42
