(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
AAabasa watawalla
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Chapter 80, 42 verses
(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
AAabasa watawalla
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
An jaahu alaAAma
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
أن جاءه الأعمى
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? -
Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaAAahu alththikra
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
As to one who regards Himself as self - sufficient,
Amma mani istaghna
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
أما من استغنى
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
To him dost thou attend;
Faanta lahu tasadda
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
فأنت له تصدى
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
وما عليك ألا يزكى
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
Waamma man jaaka yasAAa
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
وأما من جاءك يسعى
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
And with fear (in his heart),
Wahuwa yakhsha
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
وهو يخشى
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Of him wast thou unmindful.
Faanta AAanhu talahha
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
فأنت عنه تلهى
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
Kalla innaha tathkiratun
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
كلا إنها تذكرة
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
Faman shaa thakarahu
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
فمن شاء ذكره
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
Fee suhufin mukarramatin
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
في صحف مكرمة
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
MarfooAAatin mutahharatin
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
مرفوعة مطهرة
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
(Written) by the hands of scribes -
Biaydee safaratin
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
بأيدي سفرة
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
Honourable and Pious and Just.
Kiramin bararatin
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
كرام بررة
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;
Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
قتل الإنسان ما أكفره
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
From what stuff hath He created him?
Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
من أي شيء خلقه
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From a sperm - drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;
Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
من نطفة خلقه فقدره
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
Thumma alssabeela yassarahu
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
ثم السبيل يسره
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;
Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
ثم أماته فأقبره
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).
Thumma itha shaa ansharahu
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ
ثم إذا شاء أنشره
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.
Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
كلا لما يقض ما أمره
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):
Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taAAamihi
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ
فلينظر الإنسان إلى طعامه
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
For that We pour forth water in abundance,
Anna sababna almaa sabban
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا
أنا صببنا الماء صبا
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
And We split the earth in fragments,
Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
ثم شققنا الأرض شقا
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
And produce therein corn,
Faanbatna feeha habban
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
فأنبتنا فيها حبا
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
And Grapes and nutritious plants,
WaAAinaban waqadban
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
وعنبا وقضبا
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
And Olives and Dates,
Wazaytoonan wanakhlan
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
وزيتونا ونخلا
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
Wahadaiqa ghulban
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
وحدائق غلبا
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
And fruits and fodder, -
Wafakihatan waabban
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
وفاكهة وأبا
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise, -
Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
فإذا جاءت الصاخة
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,
Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
يوم يفر المرء من أخيه
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
And from his mother and his father,
Waommihi waabeehi
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
وأمه وأبيه
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
And from his wife and his children.
Wasahibatihi wabaneehi
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
وصاحبته وبنيه
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
لكل امرئ منهم يومئذ شأن يغنيه
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
Some faces that Day will be beaming,
Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
وجوه يومئذ مسفرة
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
Laughing, rejoicing.
Dahikatun mustabshiratun
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
ضاحكة مستبشرة
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
And other faces that Day will be dust - stained,
Wawujoohun yawmaithin AAalayha ghabaratun
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
ووجوه يومئذ عليها غبرة
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
Blackness will cover them:
Tarhaquha qataratun
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
ترهقها قترة
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
أولئك هم الكفرة الفجرة
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
