[1] He frowned and then turned away
[2] from a blind man who had come up to him.
[3] You never know. Perhaps he wanted to purify himself,
[4] or receive some (Quranic) advice which would benefit him.
[5] Yet you pay attention
[6] to a rich man,
[7] though you will not be questioned even if he never purifies himself.
[8] As for the one who comes to you earnestly (striving for guidance).
[9] and who has fear of God,
[10] you ignore him.
[11] These verses are a reminder
[12] so let those who want to follow its guidance do so.
[13] (This Quran) is also recorded in honorable books,
[14] exalted, purified,
[15] by the hands of the noble, virtuous,
[16] and angelic scribes.
[17] May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve?
[18] From what has God created him?
[19] He created him from a living germ. He determined his fate
[20] and made the path of guidance easy for him to follow.

[25] We send down abundant water,
[26] and let the earth to break open
[27] to yield therein corn,
[28] grapes, vegetables,
[29] olives, dates,
[30] thickly planted gardens,
[31] fruits, and grass.
[32] (These are made so as to be) means of enjoyment for you and your cattle.
[33] When the trumpet sounds,
[34] it will be such a day when a person will run away from his brother,
[35] mother, father,
[36] wife and sons,
[37] for on that day everyone will be completely engrossed in his own concerns.
[38] Some faces on that day will be radiant,
[39] laughing and joyous
[40] but others will be gloomy
[41] and covered by darkness.
[42] These will be the faces of the sinful disbelievers.
