--- |
|---|
| 80:1 | | He (Muhammad) frowned and turned away |
| 80:2 | | When the blind man came to him |
| 80:3 | | How do you know? He may purify himself |
| 80:4 | | Or he may take heed, and benefit from the message |
| 80:5 | | As for the rich man |
| 80:6 | | You gave him your attention |
| 80:7 | | Even though you could not guarantee his salvation |
| 80:8 | | The one who came to you eagerly |
| 80:9 | | And is really reverent |
| 80:10 | | You ignored him |
| 80:11 | | Indeed, this is a reminder |
| 80:12 | | Whoever wills shall take heed |
| 80:13 | | In honorable scriptures |
| 80:14 | | Exalted and pure |
| 80:15 | | (Written) by the hands of messengers |
| 80:16 | | Who are honorable and righteous |
| 80:17 | | Woe to the human being; he is so unappreciative |
| 80:18 | | What did He create him from |
| 80:19 | | From a tiny drop, He creates him and designs him |
| 80:20 | | Then He points out the path for him |
| 80:21 | | Then He puts him to death, and into the grav |
| 80:22 | | When He wills, He resurrects him |
| 80:23 | | He shall uphold His commandments |
| 80:24 | | Let the human consider his food |
| 80:25 | | We pour the water generously |
| 80:26 | | Then we split the soil open |
| 80:27 | | We grow in it grains |
| 80:28 | | Grapes and pasture |
| 80:29 | | Olives and palms |
| 80:30 | | A variety of orchards |
| 80:31 | | Fruits and vegetables |
| 80:32 | | To provide life support for you and your animals |
| 80:33 | | Then, when the blow comes to pass |
| 80:34 | | That is the day when one flees from his brother |
| 80:35 | | From his mother and father |
| 80:36 | | From his spouse and children |
| 80:37 | | Each one of them, on that day, worries about his own destiny |
| 80:38 | | Some faces on that day will be happy |
| 80:39 | | Laughing and joyful |
| 80:40 | | Other faces, on that day, will be covered with misery |
| 80:41 | | Overwhelmed by remorse |
| 80:42 | | These are the wicked disbelievers |
