The Holy Quran : Chapter 80 : 'Abasa (He Frowned)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

80:1. (The Prophet) frowned and turned away,

أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ

80:2. Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ

80:3. But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow in purity?-

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

80:4. Or that he might receive admonition, and the reminder might profit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

80:5. As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,

 فَأَنْتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ

80:6. To him you attend;

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

80:7. Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not in purity.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

80:8. But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

80:9. And with fear (in his heart),

فَأَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

80:10. Of him wast you unmindful.

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

80:11. By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of remembrance:

فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ

80:12. Therefore let whose will, keep it in remembrance.

فِي صُحُفٍ مُكَرَّمَةٍ

80:13. (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honor,

مَرْفُوعَةٍ مُطَهَّرَةٍ

80:14. Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,

بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ

80:15. (Written) by the hands of scribes-

كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ

80:16. Honorable and Pious and Just.

قُتِلَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ

80:17. Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is!

مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ

80:18. From what stuff has He created him?

مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ

80:19. From a sperm-drop: He has created him, and then moulds him in due proportions;

ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ

80:20. Then he make His path smooth for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ

80:21. Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave;

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْشَرَهُ

80:22. Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ

80:23. By no means has he fulfilled what Allah has commanded him.

فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ

80:24. Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا

80:25. For that We pour forth water in abundance,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا

80:26. And We split the earth in fragments,

فَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا

80:27. And produce therein grain,

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا

80:28. And Grapes and fresh vegetation,

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا

80:29. And Olives and Dates,

وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا

80:30. And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,

وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا

80:31. And fruits and fodder,-

مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

80:32. A provision for you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ

80:33. At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,-

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ

80:34. That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,

وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ

80:35. And from his mother and his father,

وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ

80:36. And from his wife and his children.

لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ

80:37. Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْفِرَةٌ

80:38. Some faces that Day will be beaming,

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ

80:39. Laughing, rejoicing.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ

80:40. And other faces that Day will be dust-stained,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

80:41. Darkness will cover them:

أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ

80:42. Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the Doers of Iniquity.
