80. HE FROWNED!
Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 42 verses.
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
| 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 God; |
| 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 God 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 God, the doers of iniquity. |
