سُورَةُ عَبَسَ
Abasa
He frowned
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ١
80:1The Prophet frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ٢
80:2Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ٣
80:3But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ٤
80:4Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٥
80:5As for he who thinks himself without need,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ٦
80:6To him you give attention.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ٧
80:7And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ٨
80:8But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ٩
80:9While he fears [Allah],
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ١٠
80:10From him you are distracted.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ١١
80:11No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ١٢
80:12So whoever wills may remember it.
فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ١٣
80:13[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ١٤
80:14Exalted and purified,
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ١٥
80:15[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ١٦
80:16Noble and dutiful.
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ١٧
80:17Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ١٨
80:18From what substance did He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ١٩
80:19From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ٢٠
80:20Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ٢١
80:21Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ٢٢
80:22Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ٢٣
80:23No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ٢٤
80:24Then let mankind look at his food -
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا٢٥
80:25How We poured down water in torrents,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا٢٦
80:26Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا٢٧
80:27And caused to grow within it grain
وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا٢٨
80:28And grapes and herbage
وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا٢٩
80:29And olive and palm trees
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا٣٠
80:30And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا٣١
80:31And fruit and grass -
مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ٣٢
80:32[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ٣٣
80:33But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ٣٤
80:34On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ٣٥
80:35And his mother and his father
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ٣٦
80:36And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ٣٧
80:37For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ٣٨
80:38[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ٣٩
80:39Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ٤٠
80:40And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ٤١
80:41Blackness will cover them.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ٤٢
80:42Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
