Abasa

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. (The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) frowned and turned away.

1 AAabasa watawalla

2 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).

2 An jaahu alaAAma

3 And how can you know that he might become pure (from sins)?

3 Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

4 Or he might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him?

4 Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

5 As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,

5 Amma mani istaghna

6 To him you attend;

6 Faanta lahu tasadda

7 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).

7 Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

8 But as to him who came to you running,

8 Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

9 And is afraid (of Allah and His punishment).

9 Wahuwa yakhsha

10 Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another,

10 Faanta AAanhu talahha

11 Nay, (do not do like this); indeed it (this Qur'an) is an admonition.

11 Kalla innaha tathkiratun

12 So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it.

12 Faman shaa thakarahu

13 (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz),

13 Fee suhufin mukarramatin

14 Exalted (in dignity), purified,

14 MarfooAAatin mutahharatin

15 In the hands of scribes (angels).

15 Biaydee safaratin

16 Honourable and obedient.

16 Kiramin bararatin

17 Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is!

17 Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

18 From what thing did He create him?

18 Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

19 From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him and then set him in due proportion.

19 Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

20 Then He makes the Path easy for him.

20 Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

21 Then He causes him to die and puts him in his grave.

21 Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

22 Then when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again).

22 Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

23 Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him.

23 Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

24 Then let man look at his food:

24 Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

25 We pour forth water in abundance.

25 Anna sababna almaa sabban

26 And We split the earth in clefts.

26 Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

27 And We cause therein the grain to grow,

27 Faanbatna feeha habban

28 And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle),

28 WaAAinaban waqadban

29 And olives and date-palms,

29 Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

30 And gardens dense with many trees,

30 Wahadaiqa ghulban

31 And fruits and herbage

31 Wafakihatan waabban

32 (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.

32 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 Then when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the second blowing of the Trumpet on the Day of Resurrection)

33 Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

34 That Day shall a man flee from his brother,

34 Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

35 And from his mother and his father,

35 Waommihi waabeehi

36 And from his wife and his children.

36 Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

37 Everyman that Day will have enough to make him careless of others.

37 Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

38 Some faces that Day will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism),

38 Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise).

39 Dahikatun mustabshiratun

40 And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained.

40 Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun

41 Darkness will cover them.

41 Tarhaquha qataratun

42 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).
