002Ayah 2 of 42
when the blind man came to him[1].
Translation notes: [1] Abdullah ibn Um Maktūm, an early Muslim who was blind, came to the Prophet (ﷺ) seeking knowledge and guidance, while the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the middle of a discussion with some leading pagans of Makkah, calling them to Islam. The Prophet (ﷺ) frowned and turned his attention from him. So this Makkan surah was revealed.
003Ayah 3 of 42
How would you know? Perhaps he might be purified[2],
Translation notes: [2] Through the knowledge he learns from you.
004Ayah 4 of 42
or he might take heed and benefit from the reminder?
005Ayah 5 of 42
But he who was indifferent[3],
Translation notes: [3] Towards faith. Here it is referring to that influential pagan of the Quraysh whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had hoped to embrace Islam.
006Ayah 6 of 42
you give him your full attention,
007Ayah 7 of 42
although you are not to be blamed if he does not purify himself[4].
Translation notes: [4] The Prophets are only responsible to convey the message, not for people’s guidance.
008Ayah 8 of 42
But as for the one who came to you striving [for purification],
009Ayah 9 of 42
and he fears Allah,
010Ayah 10 of 42
you let yourself be distracted from him.
011Ayah 11 of 42
No indeed; this is a reminder –
012Ayah 12 of 42
so whoever wills may give heed to it –
013Ayah 13 of 42
on venerable pages,
014Ayah 14 of 42
exalted and purified,
015Ayah 15 of 42
[preserved] in the hands of angel-scribes,
016Ayah 16 of 42
honorable and obedient.
017Ayah 17 of 42
Woe to man; how ungrateful he is[5]!
Translation notes: [5] i.e., the disbelievers.
018Ayah 18 of 42
From what did He create him?
019Ayah 19 of 42
He created him from a drop of semen and proportioned him[6],
Translation notes: [6] His creation, provisions, life span, etc.
020Ayah 20 of 42
then He made the way easy for him[7];
Translation notes: [7] i.e., the way out of his mothers’ wombs (his birth), or the way to guidance.
021Ayah 21 of 42
then He caused him to die and be buried;
022Ayah 22 of 42
then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
023Ayah 23 of 42
Yet he has not fulfilled what He commanded him.
024Ayah 24 of 42
Let man consider the food he eats:
025Ayah 25 of 42
How We pour down rainwater in torrents,
026Ayah 26 of 42
and cause the soil to split open [for sprouts],
027Ayah 27 of 42
and cause grains to grow in it,
028Ayah 28 of 42
as well as grapes and fodder,
029Ayah 29 of 42
and olive trees and date palms,
030Ayah 30 of 42
and dense orchards,
031Ayah 31 of 42
and fruits and grass,
032Ayah 32 of 42
as provision for you and your livestock.
033Ayah 33 of 42
But when the Deafening Blast[8] comes,
Translation notes: [8] The piercing Blast; the second Blast for resurrection.
034Ayah 34 of 42
on that Day everyone will flee from his brother,
035Ayah 35 of 42
and from his mother and father,
036Ayah 36 of 42
and from his wife and children.
037Ayah 37 of 42
On that day, everyone will have enough concern of his own[9].
Translation notes: [9] Thus forgetting all others.
038Ayah 38 of 42
On that Day, some faces will be bright,
039Ayah 39 of 42
cheerful and rejoicing;
040Ayah 40 of 42
while other faces will be dust-stained,
041Ayah 41 of 42
covered in darkness.
042Ayah 42 of 42
Such are the disbelievers, the wicked.
