| 80:1 | | Mohammad frowned and turned away |
| 80:2 | | When the blind man came to him |
| 80:3 | | How would you know that by attending to him and answering his questions he would not turn into a &hellip |
| 80:4 | | …righteous person and what was your criterion to ignore him |
| 80:5 | | As to the rich one that you… |
| 80:6 | | gave your preference in discussion, there is no blame on you,&hellip |
| 80:7 | | if he does not choose the right way |
| 80:8 | | You ignored the one who… |
| 80:9 | | came eagerly to you&hellip |
| 80:10 | | the who is mindful of his Lord |
| 80:11 | | This is an admonition for&hellip |
| 80:12 | | … the one who accept it gladly |
| 80:13 | | This admonition is&hellip |
| 80:14 | | hereby presented in this&hellip |
| 80:15 | | honorable and&hellip |
| 80:16 | | glorified book presented…through righteous angles |
| 80:17 | | How pity of the ungrateful man |
| 80:18 | | Does this proud creature not think what his Lord created him from |
| 80:19 | | What is he proud of? He is being created of a tiny sperm [that thousands of them hardly fill the top of a needle!] |
| 80:20 | | To such an insignificance creature God has favored the growth |
| 80:21 | | Then God takes his soul and put him in the grave |
| 80:22 | | The same One Who created him out of nothing may resurrect him anytime pleases Him |
| 80:23 | | What a pity that man has not fulfilled what his Lord has commanded him |
| 80:24 | | Let man look at his very food that sustains his life [it does not grow up in the super market] |
| 80:25 | | God pour downs lots of water from&hellip |
| 80:26 | | the sky, then He splits the earth and… |
| 80:27 | | makes the corn to grow |
| 80:28 | | And grapes and nutritious plants |
| 80:29 | | And olives and dates |
| 80:30 | | And dense gardens |
| 80:31 | | And fruits and herbs |
| 80:32 | | As a provision for man and his cattle [which provides meat for man] |
| 80:33 | | Know that when the big blow is ordered to take over the universe |
| 80:34 | | Man will leave his brother |
| 80:35 | | And his mother and his father |
| 80:36 | | And his wife and his children |
| 80:37 | | Each individual has enough of his own to be concerned with that does not care about the others |
| 80:38 | | Some faces in that day will be bright,&hellip |
| 80:39 | | … laughing and rejoicing |
| 80:40 | | Other faces on that day will be&hellip |
| 80:41 | | .. covered with misery, overwhelmed with sadness |
| 80:42 | | Such will be the end of wicked disbelievers |
