Chapter 80, 42 verses
The Prophet frowned and turned away
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
AAabasa watawalla
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
An jaahu alaAAma
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
As for he who thinks himself without need,
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
Amma mani istaghna
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
To him you give attention.
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
Faanta lahu tasadda
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
While he fears [Allah],
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Wahuwa yakhsha
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
From him you are distracted.
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Faanta AAanhu talahha
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
So whoever wills may remember it.
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
Faman shaa thakarahu
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
Exalted and purified,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
[Carried] by the hands of messenger - angels,
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
Biaydee safaratin
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
Noble and dutiful.
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
Kiramin bararatin
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
From what substance did He create him?
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From a sperm - drop He created him and destined for him;
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Then let mankind look at his food -
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
How We poured down water in torrents,
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا
Anna sababna almaa sabban
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
And caused to grow within it grain
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
Faanbatna feeha habban
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
And grapes and herbage
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
WaAAinaban waqadban
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
And olive and palm trees
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
Wahadaiqa ghulban
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
And fruit and grass -
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
Wafakihatan waabban
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
And his mother and his father
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
Waommihi waabeehi
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
And his wife and his children,
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
Blackness will cover them.
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Tarhaquha qataratun
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
