The Qur'an Sura LXXX — HE FROWNED
1HE FROWNED, and he turned his back,
2Because the blind man came to him!
3But what assured thee that he would not be cleansed by the Faith,
4Or be warned, and the warning profit him?
5As to him who is wealthy–
6To him thou wast all attention:
7Yet is it not thy concern if he be not cleansed:
8But as to him who cometh to thee in earnest,
9And full of fears–
10Him dost thou neglect.
11Nay! but it (the Koran) is a warning;
12(And whoso is willing beareth it in mind)
13Written on honoured pages,
14Exalted, purified,
15By the hands of Scribes, honoured, righteous.
16Cursed be man! What hath made him unbelieving?
17Of what thing did God create him?
18Out of moist germs.
19He created him and fashioned him,
20Then made him an easy passage from the womb,
21Then causeth him to die and burieth him;
22Then, when he pleaseth, will raise him again to life.
23Aye! but man hath not yet fulfilled the bidding of his Lord.
24Let man look at his food:
25It was We who rained down the copious rains,
26Then cleft the earth with clefts,
27And caused the upgrowth of the grain,
28And grapes and healing herbs,
29And the olive and the palm,
30And enclosed gardens thick with trees,
31And fruits and herbage,
32For the service of yourselves and of your cattle.
33But when the stunning trumpet-blast shall arrive,
34On that day shall a man fly from his brother,
35And his mother and his father,
36And his wife and his children;
37For every man of them on that day his own concerns shall be enough.
38There shall be faces on that day radiant,
39Laughing and joyous:
40And faces on that day with dust upon them:
41Blackness shall cover them!
42These are the Infidels, the Impure.
