١
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
٢
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
٣
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
٤
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
The Prophet, peace be upon him, frowned and turned away, because the blind man, Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum, came to him seeking knowledge while the Prophet was busy calling the leaders of Quraysh. And how would you know? Perhaps he would be purified by his question, or be reminded and benefit from the reminder.
٥
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
٦
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
٧
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
As for the one who thinks he needs no guidance, you turn to him and listen to him, yet it is not on you if he will not be purified.
٨
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
٩
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
١٠
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
But the one who came to you eagerly, while he fears Allah, from him you were distracted.
١١
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ
١٢
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
١٣
فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ
١٤
مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
١٥
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ
١٦
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ
No! These verses are a reminder, so whoever wills may remember. The Quran is in honoured pages, exalted and purified, carried by angels who write it down, noble and righteous.
١٧
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
١٨
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
١٩
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
٢٠
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
How ungrateful man is to his Lord! Does he not see what Allah created him from? From a small drop He created him, shaped him stage by stage, then made the way of good and evil clear for him.
٢١
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
٢٢
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
٢٣
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Then Allah causes him to die and gives him a grave, then when He wills He brings him back to life for the reckoning. No! Man has not yet done what Allah commanded him.
٢٤
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
٢٥
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا
٢٦
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا
٢٧
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا
Let man look at his food: We poured down water in torrents, then split the earth open with plants, and made grain grow in it.
٢٨
وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا
٢٩
وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا
٣٠
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا
٣١
وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا
٣٢
مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
And grapes and fodder, olives and palm trees, gardens thick with trees, fruit and grass, as provision for you and your livestock.
٣٣
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
٣٤
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
٣٥
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
٣٦
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
٣٧
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ
When the deafening blast of the Last Day comes, the Day a man will flee from his brother, his mother and father, his wife and children, each of them that Day will have enough to worry about.
٣٨
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ
٣٩
ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ
Some faces that Day will be bright, laughing, rejoicing at good news.
٤٠
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ
٤١
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
٤٢
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
And other faces that Day will be covered with dust, darkness over them. Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
