بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ١
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلّٰٓىۙ ١
80:1 He (the Prophet) frowned and turned his face,
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ٢
اَنۡ جَآءَهُ الۡاَعۡمٰىؕ ٢
80:2 because the blind man came to him!
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ٣
وَمَا يُدۡرِيۡكَ لَعَلَّهٗ يَزَّكّٰٓىۙ ٣
80:3 What could tell you (O prophet about the prospects of the blind man?) May be, (if you had attended him properly,) he would have attained purity,
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ٤
اَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنۡفَعَهُ الذِّكۡرٰىؕ ٤
80:4 or have received the advice, and the advice would have benefited him.
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ٥
اَمَّا مَنِ اسۡتَغۡنٰىۙ ٥
80:5 As for the one who does not care (about faith),
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ٦
فَاَنۡتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰىؕ ٦
80:6 you are anxious to pursue him,
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ٧
وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ اَلَّا يَزَّكّٰٓىؕ ٧
80:7 while there is no blame on you, if he does not attain purity.
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ٨
وَاَمَّا مَنۡ جَآءَكَ يَسۡعٰىۙ ٨
80:8 As regards the one who has come to you rushing eagerly,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ٩
وَهُوَ يَخۡشٰىۙ ٩
80:9 while he fears (Allah),
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ١٠
فَاَنۡتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهّٰىۚ ١٠
80:10 to him you pay no heed!
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ١١
كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٌ ۚ ١١
80:11 Never! (you should never act in this way,) Indeed this (Qur’ān) is an advice.
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ١٢
فَمَنۡ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗۘ ١٢
80:12 So, whoever so wills may pay heed to it.
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ ١٣
فِىۡ صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۙ ١٣
80:13 It is (recorded) in those scripts (of the Preserved Tablet) that are honoured,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ ١٤
مَّرۡفُوۡعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ ۭۙ ١٤
80:14 exalted, purified,
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ ١٥
بِاَيۡدِىۡ سَفَرَةٍۙ ١٥
80:15 in the hands of those scribes
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ ١٦
كِرَامٍۢ بَرَرَةٍؕ ١٦
80:16 who are honorable, righteous.
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ١٧
قُتِلَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَاۤ اَكۡفَرَهٗؕ ١٧
80:17 Damned is the man! How ungrateful he is!
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ١٨
مِنۡ اَىِّ شَىۡءٍ خَلَقَهٗؕ ١٨
80:18 From which stuff did He (Allah) create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ١٩
مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍؕ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗ ۙ ١٩
80:19 from a drop of semen! He created him, and designed him in due proportion,
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ٢٠
ثُمَّ السَّبِيۡلَ يَسَّرَهٗۙ ٢٠
80:20 then He made the way easy for him,
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ٢١
ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهٗ فَاَقۡبَرَهٗۙ ٢١
80:21 Later, he made him die, and put him into grave,
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ٢٢
ثُمَّ اِذَا شَآءَ اَنۡشَرَهٗؕ ٢٢
80:22 Thereafter, when He will intend, He will raise him up.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ٢٣
كَلَّا لَـمَّا يَقۡضِ مَاۤ اَمَرَهٗؕ ٢٣
80:23 No! He has not yet fulfilled what He (Allah) had commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ٢٤
فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِلٰى طَعَامِهٖۤۙ ٢٤
80:24 So, the man should consider his food,
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا ٢٥
اَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا الۡمَآءَ صَبًّا ۙ ٢٥
80:25 how well We poured water,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا ٢٦
ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا الۡاَرۡضَ شَقًّا ۙ ٢٦
80:26 then how nicely We split the earth,
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا ٢٧
فَاَنۡۢبَتۡنَا فِيۡهَا حَبًّا ۙ ٢٧
80:27 then We grew in it grain,
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا ٢٨
وَّ عِنَبًا وَّقَضۡبًا ۙ ٢٨
80:28 and grapes and greens,
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا ٢٩
وَّزَيۡتُوۡنًا وَّنَخۡلًا ؕ ٢٩
80:29 and olive and date-palms,
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا ٣٠
وَحَدَآٮِٕقَ غُلۡبًا ۙ ٣٠
80:30 and gardens, full of thick trees,
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا ٣١
وَّفَاكِهَةً وَّاَبًّا ۙ ٣١
80:31 and fruits and fodder,
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ٣٢
مَّتَاعًا لَّـكُمۡ وَلِاَنۡعَامِكُمۡؕ ٣٢
80:32 as a benefit for you and your cattle.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ٣٣
فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الصَّآخَّةُ ٣٣
80:33 So when the Deafening Noise will occur,
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ٣٤
يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ الۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ اَخِيۡهِۙ ٣٤
80:34 the Day when one will flee from his brother,
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ ٣٥
وَاُمِّهٖ وَاَبِيۡهِۙ ٣٥
80:35 and from his mother and father,
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ٣٦
وَصَاحِبَتِهٖ وَبَنِيۡهِؕ ٣٦
80:36 and from his wife and sons,
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ٣٧
لِكُلِّ امۡرِیءٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ شَاۡنٌ يُّغۡنِيۡهِؕ ٣٧
80:37 every one of them will be too engaged in his own affairs to care for others.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ٣٨
وُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَٮِٕذٍ مُّسۡفِرَةٌ ۙ ٣٨
80:38 Many faces, on that day, will be bright,
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ٣٩
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٌ ۚ ٣٩
80:39 laughing, rejoicing,
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ٤٠
وَوُجُوۡهٌ يَّوۡمَٮِٕذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٌ ۙ ٤٠
80:40 and many faces, on that day, will be stained with dust,
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ٤١
تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ؕ ٤١
80:41 covered by darkness.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ ٤٢
اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡكَفَرَةُ الۡفَجَرَةُ ٤٢
80:42 Those are the disbelievers, the nefarious.
