He Frowned (42 Ayahs)
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلّٰى ۙ ١
80:1
He frowned and turned away
اَنۡ جَآءَهُ الۡاَعۡمٰى ؕ ٢
80:2
Because there came to him the blind man,
وَمَا يُدۡرِيۡكَ لَعَلَّهٗ يَزَّكّٰى ۙ ٣
80:3
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
اَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنۡفَعَهُ الذِّكۡرٰى ؕ ٤
80:4
Or be reminded and the reminder would benefit him?
اَمَّا مَنِ اسۡتَغۡنٰى ۙ ٥
80:5
As for he who considers himself self-sufficient,
فَاَنۡتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰى ؕ ٦
80:6
To him you give attention.
وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ اَلَّا يَزَّكّٰى ؕ ٧
80:7
And you are not to be blamed if he would not be purified.
وَاَمَّا مَنۡ جَآءَكَ يَسۡعٰى ۙ ٨
80:8
But as for him who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخۡشٰى ۙ ٩
80:9
While he fears [Allah],
فَاَنۡتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهّٰى ؕ ١٠
80:10
From him you were diverted.
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٌ ۚ ١١
80:11
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder;
فَمَنۡ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗ ؕ ١٢
80:12
So whoever wills may remember it.
فِىۡ صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ ۙ ١٣
80:13
[It is recorded] in honored scrolls,
مَّرۡفُوۡعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ ۙ ١٤
80:14
Exalted, purified,
بِاَيۡدِىۡ سَفَرَةٍ ۙ ١٥
80:15
By the hands of [noble] scribes [angels],
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ ؕ ١٦
80:16
Honorable and obedient.
قُتِلَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَاۤ اَكۡفَرَهُ ؕ ١٧
80:17
Destroyed is man; how ungrateful he is!
مِنۡ اَىِّ شَىۡءٍ خَلَقَهُ ؕ ١٨
80:18
From what substance did He create him?
مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍ ؕ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗ ؕ ١٩
80:19
From a sperm-drop He created him and determined his [aspects].
ثُمَّ السَّبِيۡلَ يَسَّرَهٗ ۙ ٢٠
80:20
Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهٗ فَاَقۡبَرَهٗ ۙ ٢١
80:21
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ اِذَا شَآءَ اَنۡشَرَهٗ ؕ ٢٢
80:22
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَاۤ اَمَرَهُ ؕ ٢٣
80:23
No! Man has not yet fulfilled what He commanded him.
فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِلٰى طَعَامِهٖ ۙ ٢٤
80:24
So let man observe his food -
اَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا الۡمَآءَ صَبًّا ۙ ٢٥
80:25
How We poured down water in torrents,
ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا الۡاَرۡضَ شَقًّا ۙ ٢٦
80:26
Then split the earth with [dramatic] fissures,
فَاَنۡۢبَتۡنَا فِيۡهَا حَبًّا ۙ ٢٧
80:27
And caused to grow within it grain
وَّعِنَبًا وَّقَضۡبًا ۙ ٢٨
80:28
And grapes and clover
وَّزَيۡتُوۡنًا وَّنَخۡلًا ۙ ٢٩
80:29
And olive and palm trees
وَّحَدَآٮِٕقَ غُلۡبًا ۙ ٣٠
80:30
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَّفَاكِهَةً وَّاَبًّا ۙ ٣١
80:31
And fruits and [all kinds of] grass -
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمۡ وَلِاَنۡعَامِكُمۡ ؕ ٣٢
80:32
[As] provision for you and your grazing livestock.
فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الصَّآخَّةُ ۙ ٣٣
80:33
But when there comes the deafening cry
يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ الۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ اَخِيۡهِ ۙ ٣٤
80:34
On the Day when a man will flee from his brother
وَاُمِّهٖ وَاَبِيۡهِ ۙ ٣٥
80:35
And his mother and his father
وَصَاحِبَتِهٖ وَبَنِيۡهِ ؕ ٣٦
80:36
And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ امۡرِیٴٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٍ شَاۡنٌ يُّغۡنِيۡهِ ؕ ٣٧
80:37
For every man, that Day, will be a matter occupying him.
وُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ مُّسۡفِرَةٌ ۙ ٣٨
80:38
[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٌ ؕ ٣٩
80:39
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
وَوُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٌ ۙ ٤٠
80:40
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust,
تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ؕ ٤١
80:41
Blackness will cover them.
اُولٰۤٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡكَفَرَةُ الۡفَجَرَةُ ٪ ٤٢
80:42
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
