Ads by Muslim Ad Network
80:1
He frowned and turned awa
80:2
that the blind man came to him
80:3
And what should teach thee? Perchance he would cleanse him
80:4
or yet remember, and the Reminder profit him
80:5
But the self-sufficient
80:6
to him thou attendes
80:7
though it is not thy concern, if he does not cleanse himself
80:8
And he who comes to thee eagerly
80:9
and fearfully
80:10
to him thou payest no heed
80:11
No indeed; it is a Reminde
80:12
(and whoso wills, shall remember it
80:13
upon pages high-honoured
80:14
uplifted, purified
80:15
by the hands of scribe
80:16
noble, pious
80:17
Perish Man! How unthankful he is
80:18
Of what did He create him
80:19
Of a sperm-drop He created him, and determined him
80:20
then the way eased for him
80:21
then makes him to die, and buries him
80:22
then, when He wills, He raises him
80:23
No indeed! Man has not accomplished His bidding
80:24
Let Man consider his nourishment
80:25
We poured out the rains abundantly
80:26
then We split the earth in fissure
80:27
and therein made the grains to gro
80:28
and vines, and reeds
80:29
and olives, and palms
80:30
and dense-tree'd gardens
80:31
and fruits, and pastures
80:32
an enjoyment for you and your flocks
80:33
And when the Blast shall sound
80:34
upon the day when a man shall flee from his brother
80:35
his mother, his father
80:36
his consort, his sons
80:37
every man that day shall have business to suffice him
80:38
Some faces on that day shall shin
80:39
laughing, joyous
80:40
some faces on that day shall be dust
80:41
o'erspread with darkness -
80:42
those -- they are the unbelievers, the libertines
