Surah Abasa ( He frowned ) - Aya count 42
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
( 1 ) The Prophet frowned and turned away
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
( 2 ) Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
( 3 ) But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
( 4 ) Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
( 5 ) As for he who thinks himself without need,
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
( 6 ) To him you give attention.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
( 7 ) And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
( 8 ) But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
( 9 ) While he fears [Allah],
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
( 10 ) From him you are distracted.
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
( 11 ) No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
( 12 ) So whoever wills may remember it.
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
( 13 ) [It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
( 14 ) Exalted and purified,
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
( 15 ) [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
( 16 ) Noble and dutiful.
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
( 17 ) Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
( 18 ) From what substance did He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
( 19 ) From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
( 20 ) Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
( 21 ) Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ
( 22 ) Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
( 23 ) No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ
( 24 ) Then let mankind look at his food -
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا
( 25 ) How We poured down water in torrents,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
( 26 ) Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
( 27 ) And caused to grow within it grain
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
( 28 ) And grapes and herbage
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
( 29 ) And olive and palm trees
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
( 30 ) And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
( 31 ) And fruit and grass -
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
( 32 ) [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
( 33 ) But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
( 34 ) On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
( 35 ) And his mother and his father
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
( 36 ) And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
( 37 ) For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
( 38 ) [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
( 39 ) Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
( 40 ) And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
( 41 ) Blackness will cover them.
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
( 42 ) Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
