Surah 'Abasa

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ١

80:1 The Prophet frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ ٢

80:2 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]

وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ٣

80:3 But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ ٤

80:4 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٥

80:5 As for he who thinks himself without need

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ٦

80:6 To him you give attention

وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ٧

80:7 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ ٨

80:8 But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ ٩

80:9 While he fears [Allah]

فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ١٠

80:10 From him you are distracted

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ ١١

80:11 No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ١٢

80:12 So whoever wills may remember it

فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ ١٣

80:13 [It is recorded] in honored sheets

مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ ١٤

80:14 Exalted and purified

بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ ١٥

80:15 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels

كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ ١٦

80:16 Noble and dutiful

قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ ١٧

80:17 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ١٨

80:18 From what substance did He create him

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ١٩

80:19 From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ٢٠

80:20 Then He eased the way for him

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ ٢١

80:21 Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ٢٢

80:22 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ٢٣

80:23 No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ٢٤

80:24 Then let mankind look at his food

أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا ٢٥

80:25 How We poured down water in torrents

ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا ٢٦

80:26 Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts]

فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا حَبّٗا ٢٧

80:27 And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا ٢٨

80:28 And grapes and herbage

وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا ٢٩

80:29 And olive and palm trees

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبٗا ٣٠

80:30 And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَفَٰكِهَةٗ وَأَبّٗا ٣١

80:31 And fruit and grass

مَّتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ ٣٢

80:32 [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ٣٣

80:33 But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ ٣٤

80:34 On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ٣٥

80:35 And his mother and his father

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ٣٦

80:36 And his wife and his children

لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ ٣٧

80:37 For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ ٣٨

80:38 [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright

ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ ٣٩

80:39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ ٤٠

80:40 And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust

تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ٤١

80:41 Blackness will cover them

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ ٤٢

80:42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones
