Surah Abasa (عَبَسَ)

Ayat 1–25

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلّٰٓىۙ ۝١

80:1He frowned and turned away

اَنۡ جَآءَهُ الۡاَعۡمٰىؕ ۝٢

80:2Because the blind man came unto him.

وَمَا يُدۡرِيۡكَ لَعَلَّهٗ يَزَّكّٰٓىۙ ۝٣

80:3What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)

اَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنۡفَعَهُ الذِّكۡرٰىؕ ۝٤

80:4Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him?

اَمَّا مَنِ اسۡتَغۡنٰىۙ ۝٥

80:5As for him who thinketh himself independent,

فَاَنۡتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰىؕ ۝٦

80:6Unto him thou payest regard.

وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ اَلَّا يَزَّكّٰٓىؕ ۝٧

80:7Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).

وَاَمَّا مَنۡ جَآءَكَ يَسۡعٰىۙ ۝٨

80:8But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose

وَهُوَ يَخۡشٰىۙ ۝٩

80:9And hath fear,

فَاَنۡتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهّٰىۚ ۝١٠

80:10From him thou art distracted.

كَلَّاۤ اِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٌۚ ۝١١

80:11Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,

فَمَنۡ شَآءَ ذَكَرَهٗۘ ۝١٢

80:12So let whosoever will pay heed to it,

فِىۡ صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۙ ۝١٣

80:13On honoured leaves

مَّرۡفُوۡعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۙ ۝١٤

80:14Exalted, purified,

ۢبِاَيۡدِىۡ سَفَرَةٍۙ ۝١٥

80:15(Set down) by scribes

كِرَامٍۢ بَرَرَةٍؕ ۝١٦

80:16Noble and righteous.

قُتِلَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَاۤ اَكۡفَرَهٗؕ ۝١٧

80:17Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful is he!

مِنۡ اَىِّ شَىۡءٍ خَلَقَهٗؕ ۝١٨

80:18From what thing doth He create him?

مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍؕ خَلَقَهٗ فَقَدَّرَهٗۙ ۝١٩

80:19From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,

ثُمَّ السَّبِيۡلَ يَسَّرَهٗۙ ۝٢٠

80:20Then maketh the way easy for him,

ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهٗ فَاَقۡبَرَهٗۙ ۝٢١

80:21Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

ثُمَّ اِذَا شَآءَ اَنۡشَرَهٗؕ ۝٢٢

80:22Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.

كَلَّا لَـمَّا يَقۡضِ مَاۤ اَمَرَهٗؕ ۝٢٣

80:23Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.

فَلۡيَنۡظُرِ الۡاِنۡسَانُ اِلٰى طَعَامِهٖۤۙ ۝٢٤

80:24Let man consider his food:

اَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا الۡمَآءَ صَبًّاۙ ۝٢٥

80:25How We pour water in showers
