Surah Abasa

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١﴾

ʿabasa watawalla

The Prophet frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ ﴿٢﴾

An jaahu alaʿma

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

وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

Wama yudreeka laʿallahu yazzakka

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

أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ ﴿٤﴾

Aw yaththakkaru fatanfaʿahu alththikra

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

Amma mani istaghna

As for he who thinks himself without need

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ﴿٦﴾

Faanta lahu tasadda

To him you give attention

وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ﴿٧﴾

Wama ʿalayka alla yazzakka

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

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

Waamma man jaaka yasʿa

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

وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

Wahuwa yakhsha

While he fears [Allah]

فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

Faanta ʿanhu talahha

From him you are distracted

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ ﴿١١﴾

Kalla innaha tathkiratun

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ﴿١٢﴾

Faman shaa thakarahu

So whoever wills may remember it

فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ ﴿١٣﴾

Fee suhufin mukarramatin

[It is recorded] in honored sheets

مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ ﴿١٤﴾

Marfooʿatin mutahharatin

Exalted and purified

بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ ﴿١٥﴾

Biaydee safaratin

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels

كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ ﴿١٦﴾

Kiramin bararatin

Noble and dutiful

قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾

Qutila alinsanu ma akfarahu

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ﴿١٨﴾

Min ayyi shayin khalaqahu

From what substance did He create him

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ﴿١٩﴾

Min nutfatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

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

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ﴿٢٠﴾

Thumma alssabeela yassarahu

Then He eased the way for him

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ ﴿٢١﴾

Thumma amatahu faaqbarahu

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ﴿٢٢﴾

Thumma itha shaa ansharahu

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ﴿٢٣﴾

Kalla lamma yaqdi ma amarahu

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ﴿٢٤﴾

Falyanthuri alinsanu ila taʿamihi

Then let mankind look at his food

أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا ﴿٢٥﴾

Anna sababna almaa sabban

How We poured down water in torrents

ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا ﴿٢٦﴾

Thumma shaqaqna alarda shaqqan

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

فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا حَبّٗا ﴿٢٧﴾

Faanbatna feeha habban

And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا ﴿٢٨﴾

Waʿinaban waqadban

And grapes and herbage

وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا ﴿٢٩﴾

Wazaytoonan wanakhlan

And olive and palm trees

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبٗا ﴿٣٠﴾

Wahadaiqa ghulban

And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَفَٰكِهَةٗ وَأَبّٗا ﴿٣١﴾

Wafakihatan waabban

And fruit and grass

مَّتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ ﴿٣٢﴾

Mataʿan lakum walianʿamikum

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ﴿٣٣﴾

Faitha jaati alssakhkhatu

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ ﴿٣٤﴾

Yawma yafirru almaro min akheehi

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ﴿٣٥﴾

Waommihi waabeehi

And his mother and his father

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ﴿٣٦﴾

Wasahibatihi wabaneehi

And his wife and his children

لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ ﴿٣٧﴾

Likulli imriin minhum yawmaithin shanun yughneehi

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

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ ﴿٣٨﴾

Wujoohun yawmaithin musfiratun

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright

ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ ﴿٣٩﴾

Dahikatun mustabshiratun

Laughing, rejoicing at good news

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ ﴿٤٠﴾

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

Tarhaquha qataratun

Blackness will cover them

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ ﴿٤٢﴾

Olaika humu alkafaratu alfajaratu

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones
