> SURA LXXX (80) - He Frowned    (Mecca - 42)           (XXIV - 39)           
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        He Frowned, and he turned his back,
>  
>        Because the blind man came to him!
>  
>        But what assured thee that he would not be cleansed by the Faith,
>  
>        Or be warned, and the warning profit him?
>  
>        As to him who is wealthy -
>  
>        To him thou wast all attention:
>  
>        Yet is it not thy concern if he be not cleansed:
>  
>        But as to him who cometh to thee in earnest,
>  
>        And full of fears -
>  
> 80:10  Him dost thou neglect.
>  
>        Nay! but it (the Koran) is a warning;
>  
>        (And whoso is willing beareth it in mind)
>  
>        Written on honoured pages,
>  
>        Exalted, purified,
>  
>        By the hands of Scribes, honoured, righteous.
>  
>        Cursed be man!  What hath made him unbelieving?
>  
>        Of what thing did God create him,
>  
> 80:20  Then made him an easy passage from the womb,
>  
>        Then caused him to die and burieth him;
>  
>        Then, when he pleaseth, will raise him again to life.
>  
>        Aye! but man hath not yet fulfilled the bidding of his Lord.
>  
>        Let man look at his food:
>  
>        It was We who rained down the copious rains,
>  
>        Then cleft the earth with clefts,
>  
>        And caused the upgrowth of the grain,
>  
>        And grapes and healing herbs,
>  
>        And the olive and the palm,
>  
> 80:30  And enclosed gardens thick with trees,
>  
>        And fruits and herbage,
>  
>        For the service of yourselves and of your cattle.
>  
>        But when the stunning trumpet-blast shall arrive,
>  
>        On that day shall a man fly from his brother,
>  
>        And his mother and his father,
>  
>        And his wife and his children;
>  
>        For every man of them on that day his own concerns shall be enough.
>  
>        There shall be faces on that day radiant,
>  
>        Laughing and joyous:
>  
> 80:40  And faces on that day with dust upon them:
>  
>        Blackness shall cover them!
>  
>        These are the Infidels, the Impure.
