Surah Abasa

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلّٰٓي ۝١ۙ

1He frowned and turned away

اَنْ جَا࢜ءَهُ الْاَعْمٰى ۝٢ؕ

2when the blind man approached him.

وَمَا يُدْرِيْكَ لَعَلَّهٗ يَزَّكّٰٓي ۝٣ۙ

3And how do you know, maybe he would purify himself,

اَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرٰى ۝٤ؕ

4or take admonition, and the admonition would benefit him!

اَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنٰى ۝٥ۙ

5But as for someone who is wealthy,

فَاَنْتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰى ۝٦ؕ

6you attend to him,

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ اَلَّا يَزَّكّٰى ۝٧ؕ

7though you are not liable if he does not purify himself.

وَاَمَّا مَنْ جَا࢜ءَكَ يَسْعٰى ۝٨ۙ

8But as for someone who comes hurrying to you,

وَهُوَ يَخْشٰى ۝٩ۙ

9while he fears [Allah],

فَاَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهّٰى ۝١٠ۚ

10you are neglectful of him.

كَلَّا͏ٓ اِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ۝١١ۚ

11No indeed! These [verses of the Quran ] are a reminder

فَمَنْ شَا࢜ءَ ذَكَرَهٗ ۝١٢ۘ

12—so let anyone who wishes remember—

فِيْ صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ ۝١٣ۙ

13in honoured scriptures,

مَّرْفُوْعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ۝١٤ۙ

14exalted and purified,

بِاَيْدِيْ سَفَرَةٍ ۝١٥ۙ

15in the hands of envoys,

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ ۝١٦ؕ

16noble and pious.

قُتِلَ الْاِنْسَانُ مَا͏ٓ اَكْفَرَهٗ ۝١٧ؕ

17Perish man! How ungrateful is he!

مِنْ اَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهٗ ۝١٨ؕ

18From what did He create him?

مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍؕ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗ ۝١٩ۙ

19He created him from a drop of [seminal] fluid; then proportioned him.

ثُمَّ السَّبِيْلَ يَسَّرَهٗ ۝٢٠ۙ

20Then He made the way easy for him;

ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهٗ فَاَقْبَرَهٗ ۝٢١ۙ

21then He made him die and buried him;

ثُمَّ اِذَا شَا࢜ءَ اَنْشَرَهٗ ۝٢٢ؕ

22and then, when He wished, resurrected him.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا͏ٓ اَمَرَهٗ ۝٢٣ؕ

23No indeed! He has not yet carried out what He has commanded him.

فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْاِنْسَانُ اِلٰى طَعَامِهٖٓ ۝٢٤ۙ

24Let man consider his food:

اَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَا࢜ءَ صَبًّا ۝٢٥ۙ

25We pour down plenteous water [from the sky],

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْاَرْضَ شَقًّا ۝٢٦ۙ

26then We split the earth making fissures in it

فَاَنۢ͏ْبَتْنَا فِيْهَا حَبًّا ۝٢٧ۙ

27and make the grain grow in it,

وَّعِنَبًا وَّقَضْبًا ۝٢٨ۙ

28as well as vines and vegetables,

وَّزَيْتُوْنًا وَّنَخْلًا ۝٢٩ۙ

29olives and date palms,

وَّحَدَا࢜ىِٕقَ غُلْبًا ۝٣٠ۙ

30and densely-planted gardens,

وَّفَاكِهَةً وَّاَبًّا ۝٣١ۙ

31fruits and pastures,

مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْ ۝٣٢ؕ

32as a sustenance for you and your livestock.

فَاِذَا جَا࢜ءَتِ الصَّا࢜خَّةُ ۝٣٣ؗ

33So when the deafening Cry comes—

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ اَخِيْهِ ۝٣٤ۙ

34the day when a man will evade his brother,

وَاُمِّهٖ وَاَبِيْهِ ۝٣٥ۙ

35his mother and his father,

وَصَاحِبَتِهٖ وَبَنِيْهِ ۝٣٦ؕ

36his spouse and his sons—

لِكُلِّ امْرِي͏ٔ͏ٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ شَاْنٌ يُّغْنِيْهِ ۝٣٧ؕ

37each of them will have a task to keep him preoccupied on that day.

وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ۝٣٨ۙ

38Some faces will be bright on that day,

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ۝٣٩ۚ

39laughing and joyous,

وَوُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ۝٤٠ۙ

40and some faces on that day will be covered with dust,

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ۝٤١ؕ

41overcast with gloom.

اُولٰ࢜ىِٕكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ ۝٤٢ࣖ

42It is they who are the faithless, the vicious.
