Saheeh InternationalThe Prophet frowned and turned away

Yusuf Ali(The Prophet) frowned and turned away

Saheeh InternationalBecause there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]

Yusuf AliBecause there came to him the blind man (interrupting)

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

Yusuf AliBut what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)

Saheeh InternationalOr be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

Yusuf AliOr that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him

Saheeh InternationalAs for he who thinks himself without need

Yusuf AliAs to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient

Saheeh InternationalTo him you give attention

Yusuf AliTo him dost thou attend

Saheeh InternationalAnd not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified

Yusuf AliThough it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding)

Saheeh InternationalBut as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

Yusuf AliBut as to him who came to thee striving earnestly

Saheeh InternationalWhile he fears [Allah]

Yusuf AliAnd with fear (in his heart)

Saheeh InternationalFrom him you are distracted

Yusuf AliOf him wast thou unmindful

Saheeh InternationalNo! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

Yusuf AliBy no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction

Saheeh InternationalSo whoever wills may remember it

Yusuf AliTherefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance

Saheeh International[It is recorded] in honored sheets

Yusuf Ali(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour

Saheeh InternationalExalted and purified

Yusuf AliExalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy

Saheeh International[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels

Yusuf Ali(Written) by the hands of scribes

Saheeh InternationalNoble and dutiful

Yusuf AliHonourable and Pious and Just

Saheeh InternationalCursed is man; how disbelieving is he

Yusuf AliWoe to man! What hath made him reject God

Saheeh InternationalFrom what substance did He create him

Yusuf AliFrom what stuff hath He created him

Saheeh InternationalFrom a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him

Yusuf AliFrom a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions

Saheeh InternationalThen He eased the way for him

Yusuf AliThen doth He make His path smooth for him

Saheeh InternationalThen He causes his death and provides a grave for him

Yusuf AliThen He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave

Saheeh InternationalThen when He wills, He will resurrect him

Yusuf AliThen, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again)

Saheeh InternationalNo! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

Yusuf AliBy no means hath he fulfilled what God hath commanded him

Saheeh InternationalThen let mankind look at his food

Yusuf AliThen let man look at his food, (and how We provide it)

Saheeh InternationalHow We poured down water in torrents

Yusuf AliFor that We pour forth water in abundance

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

Yusuf AliAnd We split the earth in fragments

Saheeh InternationalAnd caused to grow within it grain

Yusuf AliAnd produce therein corn

Saheeh InternationalAnd grapes and herbage

Yusuf AliAnd Grapes and nutritious plants

Saheeh InternationalAnd olive and palm trees

Yusuf AliAnd Olives and Dates

Saheeh InternationalAnd gardens of dense shrubbery

Yusuf AliAnd enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees

Saheeh InternationalAnd fruit and grass

Yusuf AliAnd fruits and fodder

Saheeh International[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock

Yusuf AliFor use and convenience to you and your cattle

Saheeh InternationalBut when there comes the Deafening Blast

Yusuf AliAt length, when there comes the Deafening Noise

Saheeh InternationalOn the Day a man will flee from his brother

Yusuf AliThat Day shall a man flee from his own brother

Saheeh InternationalAnd his mother and his father

Yusuf AliAnd from his mother and his father

Saheeh InternationalAnd his wife and his children

Yusuf AliAnd from his wife and his children

Saheeh InternationalFor every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him

Yusuf AliEach one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others

Saheeh International[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright

Yusuf AliSome faces that Day will be beaming

Saheeh InternationalLaughing, rejoicing at good news

Yusuf AliLaughing, rejoicing

Saheeh InternationalAnd [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust

Yusuf AliAnd other faces that Day will be dust-stained

Saheeh InternationalBlackness will cover them

Yusuf AliBlackness will cover them

Saheeh InternationalThose are the disbelievers, the wicked ones

Yusuf AliSuch will be the Rejecters of God, the doers of iniquity
