Abasa

1 AAabasa watawalla

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

2 An jaahu alaAAma

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).

3 Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

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

4 Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra

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

5 Amma mani istaghna

5 As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,

6 Faanta lahu tasadda

6 To him you attend;

7 Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

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).

8 Waamma man jaaka yasAAa

8 But as to him who came to you running,

9 Wahuwa yakhsha

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

10 Faanta AAanhu talahha

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

11 Kalla innaha tathkiratun

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

12 Faman shaa thakarahu

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

13 Fee suhufin mukarramatin

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

14 MarfooAAatin mutahharatin

14 Exalted (in dignity), purified,

15 Biaydee safaratin

15 In the hands of scribes (angels).

16 Kiramin bararatin

16 Honourable and obedient.

17 Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

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

18 Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

18 From what thing did He create him?

19 Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

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

20 Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

20 Then He makes the Path easy for him.

21 Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

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

22 Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

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

23 Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

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

24 Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi

24 Then let man look at his food:

25 Anna sababna almaa sabban

25 We pour forth water in abundance.

26 Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

26 And We split the earth in clefts.

27 Faanbatna feeha habban

27 And We cause therein the grain to grow,

28 WaAAinaban waqadban

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

29 Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

29 And olives and date-palms,

30 Wahadaiqa ghulban

30 And gardens dense with many trees,

31 Wafakihatan waabban

31 And fruits and herbage

32 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

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

33 Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

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

34 Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

34 That Day shall a man flee from his brother,

35 Waommihi waabeehi

35 And from his mother and his father,

36 Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

36 And from his wife and his children.

37 Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

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

38 Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

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

39 Dahikatun mustabshiratun

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

40 Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun

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

41 Tarhaquha qataratun

41 Darkness will cover them.

42 Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu

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).
