80. Surah Abasa
80:1 عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
The Prophet frowned and turned away
80:2 أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
80:3 وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
80:4 أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
80:5 أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
As for he who thinks himself without need,
80:6 فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
To him you give attention.
80:7 وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
80:8 وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
80:9 وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
While he fears [ Allah ],
80:10 فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
From him you are distracted.
80:11 كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
80:12 فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
So whoever wills may remember it.
80:13 فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
80:14 مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
Exalted and purified,
80:15 بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
80:16 كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
Noble and dutiful.
80:17 قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
80:18 مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
From what substance did He create him?
80:19 مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
80:20 ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
Then He eased the way for him;
80:21 ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
80:22 ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
80:23 كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
80:24 فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ
Then let mankind look at his food -
80:25 أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا
How We poured down water in torrents,
80:26 ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
80:27 فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
And caused to grow within it grain
80:28 وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
And grapes and herbage
80:29 وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
And olive and palm trees
80:30 وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
And gardens of dense shrubbery
80:31 وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
And fruit and grass -
80:32 مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
80:33 فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
80:34 يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
80:35 وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
And his mother and his father
80:36 وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
And his wife and his children,
80:37 لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
80:38 وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
80:39 ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
80:40 وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
80:41 تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Blackness will cover them.
80:42 أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
