Sourate Abasa (80) with hamza shown

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. He frowned and turned away, because the blind man came to him.i 2

بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم عبس وتولى أن جآءه ٱلأعمى

And what can make you know? 3

وما يدريك

Perhaps he might purify himself, or remember, and the reminder would benefit him. 4

لعله يزكى أو يذكر فتنفعه ٱلذكرى

As for him who considers himself self-sufficient, you give him your attention, and it is not upon you if he does not purify himself. 7

أما من ٱستغنى فأنت له تصدى وما عليك ألا يزكى

But as for him who came to you striving, and he fears, from him you are distracted. No! 11

وأما من جآءك يسعى وهو يخشى فأنت عنه تلهى كلآ

Indeed, it is a reminder, 11

إنها تذكرة

— so whoever wills, let him remember it —, in honored scrolls, elevated and purified, in the hands of scribes, noble and dutiful. 16

فمن شآء ذكره في صحف مكرمة مرفوعة مطهرة بأيدي سفرة كرام بررة

Destroyed is man; how strongly he rejects the truth! 17

قتل ٱلإنسن مآ أكفره

From what thing did He create him? 18

من أى شىء خلقه

From a drop He created him and proportioned him, then He made the way easy for him, then He caused him to die and buried him. 21

من نطفة خلقه فقدره ثم ٱلسبيل يسره ثم أماته فأقبره

Then, when He wills, He will resurrect him. 22

ثم إذا شآء أنشره

No! He has not yet accomplished what He commanded him. 23

كلا لما يقض مآ أمره

Then let man look at his food: 24

فلينظر ٱلإنسن إلى طعامه

that We poured the water in abundance, then We split the earth in clefts, then We caused to grow within it grain, and grapes and fodder, and olives and date-palms, and gardens of thick foliage, and fruit and pasture, as a provision for you and your livestock. 32

أنا صببنا ٱلمآء صبا ثم شققنا ٱلأرض شقا فأنبتنا فيها حبا وعنبا وقضبا وزيتونا ونخلا وحدآئق غلبا وفكهة وأبا متعا لكم ولأنعمكم

But when the Deafening Blast comes, the Day a man will flee from his brother, and his mother and his father, and his companion and his sons. 36

فإذا جآءت ٱلصآخة يوم يفر ٱلمرء من أخيه وأمه وأبيه وصحبته وبنيه

For every person among them, that Day, is a matter occupying him. 37

لكل ٱمرئ منهم يومئذ شأن يغنيه

Faces, that Day, will be radiant, laughing, rejoicing. 39

وجوه يومئذ مسفرة ضاحكة مستبشرة

And faces, that Day, will have dust upon them, covered in blackness. 41

ووجوه يومئذ عليها غبرة ترهقها قترة

Those are the rejecters, the corrupt. 42

أولئك هم ٱلكفرة ٱلفجرة
