The Prophet frowned and turned away

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

As for he who thinks himself without need,

To him you give attention.

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

While he fears [Allah],

From him you are distracted.

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

So whoever wills may remember it.

[It is recorded] in honored sheets,

Exalted and purified,

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

Noble and dutiful.

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

From what substance did He create him?

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

Then He eased the way for him;

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

Then let mankind look at his food -

How We poured down water in torrents,

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

And caused to grow within it grain

And grapes and herbage

And olive and palm trees

And gardens of dense shrubbery

And fruit and grass -

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

And his mother and his father

And his wife and his children,

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.

Blackness will cover them.

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

And when the mountains are removed

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

And when the wild beasts are gathered

And when the seas are filled with flame

And when the souls are paired

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

For what sin she was killed

And when the pages are made public

And when the sky is stripped away

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

And when Paradise is brought near,

A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].

So I swear by the retreating stars -

Those that run [their courses] and disappear -

And by the night as it closes in

And by the dawn when it breathes

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

And your companion is not [at all] mad.

And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.

And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.

And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].

So where are you going?

It is not except a reminder to the worlds

For whoever wills among you to take a right course.

And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
