আবাসা

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

1 The Prophet frowned and turned away

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 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

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

3 But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

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

4 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

5 As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,

5 As for he who thinks himself without need,

6 To him you attend;

6 To him you give attention.

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 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

8 But as to him who came to you running,

8 But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

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

9 While he fears [Allah],

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

10 From him you are distracted.

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

11 No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

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

12 So whoever wills may remember it.

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

13 [It is recorded] in honored sheets,

14 Exalted (in dignity), purified,

14 Exalted and purified,

15 In the hands of scribes (angels).

15 [Carried] by the hands of messenger - angels,

16 Honourable and obedient.

16 Noble and dutiful.

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

17 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

18 From what thing did He create him?

18 From what substance did He create him?

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

19 From a sperm - drop He created him and destined for him;

20 Then He makes the Path easy for him.

20 Then He eased the way for him;

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

21 Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

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

22 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

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

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

24 Then let man look at his food:

24 Then let mankind look at his food -

25 We pour forth water in abundance.

25 How We poured down water in torrents,

26 And We split the earth in clefts.

26 Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

27 And We cause therein the grain to grow,

27 And caused to grow within it grain

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

28 And grapes and herbage

29 And olives and date-palms,

29 And olive and palm trees

30 And gardens dense with many trees,

30 And gardens of dense shrubbery

31 And fruits and herbage

31 And fruit and grass -

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

32 [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.

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

33 But when there comes the Deafening Blast

34 That Day shall a man flee from his brother,

34 On the Day a man will flee from his brother

35 And from his mother and his father,

35 And his mother and his father

36 And from his wife and his children.

36 And his wife and his children,

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

37 For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

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

38 [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

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

39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

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

40 And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.

41 Darkness will cover them.

41 Blackness will cover them.

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).

42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
