بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
AAabasa watawalla
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. (The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) frowned and turned away.
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Chapter 80, 42 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
AAabasa watawalla
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. (The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) frowned and turned away.
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
أن جاءه الأعمى
An jaahu alaAAma
Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs).
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
And how can you know that he might become pure (from sins)?
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
Or he might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
أما من استغنى
Amma mani istaghna
As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
فأنت له تصدى
Faanta lahu tasadda
To him you attend;
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
وما عليك ألا يزكى
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief: you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah).
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
وأما من جاءك يسعى
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
But as to him who came to you running,
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
وهو يخشى
Wahuwa yakhsha
And is afraid (of Allah and His punishment).
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
فأنت عنه تلهى
Faanta AAanhu talahha
Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another,
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
كلا إنها تذكرة
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
Nay, (do not do like this); indeed it (this Qur'an) is an admonition.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
فمن شاء ذكره
Faman shaa thakarahu
So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it.
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
في صحف مكرمة
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
(It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz),
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
مرفوعة مطهرة
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
Exalted (in dignity), purified,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
بأيدي سفرة
Biaydee safaratin
In the hands of scribes (angels).
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
كرام بررة
Kiramin bararatin
Honourable and obedient.
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
قتل الإنسان ما أكفره
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is!
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
من أي شيء خلقه
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
From what thing did He create him?
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
من نطفة خلقه فقدره
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him and then set him in due proportion.
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
ثم السبيل يسره
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
Then He makes the Path easy for him.
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
ثم أماته فأقبره
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
Then He causes him to die and puts him in his grave.
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
ثم إذا شاء أنشره
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
Then when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again).
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
كلا لما يقض ما أمره
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
فلينظر الإنسان إلى طعامه
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
Then let man look at his food:
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
أنا صببنا الماء صبا
Anna sababna almaa sabban
We pour forth water in abundance.
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
ثم شققنا الأرض شقا
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
And We split the earth in clefts.
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
فأنبتنا فيها حبا
Faanbatna feeha habban
And We cause therein the grain to grow,
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
وعنبا وقضبا
WaAAinaban waqadban
And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle),
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
وزيتونا ونخلا
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
And olives and date-palms,
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
وحدائق غلبا
Wahadaiqa ghulban
And gardens dense with many trees,
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
وفاكهة وأبا
Wafakihatan waabban
And fruits and herbage
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
فإذا جاءت الصاخة
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
Then when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the second blowing of the Trumpet on the Day of Resurrection)
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
يوم يفر المرء من أخيه
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
That Day shall a man flee from his brother,
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
وأمه وأبيه
Waommihi waabeehi
And from his mother and his father,
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
وصاحبته وبنيه
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
And from his wife and his children.
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
لكل امرئ منهم يومئذ شأن يغنيه
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
Everyman that Day will have enough to make him careless of others.
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
وجوه يومئذ مسفرة
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
Some faces that Day will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism),
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
ضاحكة مستبشرة
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise).
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
ووجوه يومئذ عليها غبرة
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained.
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
ترهقها قترة
Tarhaquha qataratun
Darkness will cover them.
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
أولئك هم الكفرة الفجرة
Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu
Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers).
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
