HE FROWNED! Holy Quran God Speak

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.
