بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
'Abasa wa tawallaa.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
The Prophet frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
An jaa-ahul 'a-maa
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Wa maa yudreeka la'allahu yaz zakkaa.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Au yaz zak karu fatanfa 'ahuz zikraa.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Amma manis taghnaa
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
As for he who thinks himself without need,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Fa-anta lahu tasaddaa
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
To him you give attention.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Wa ma 'alaika allaa yaz zakka.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
Wa amma man jaa-aka yas'a
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Wahuwa yakhshaa,
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
While he fears [Allah],
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Fa-anta 'anhu talah haa.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
From him you are distracted.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ
Kalla innaha tazkirah
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Faman shaa a zakarah
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
So whoever wills may remember it.
فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ
Fi suhufim mukar rama,
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
Marfoo'atim mutah hara,
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Exalted and purified,
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ
Bi'aidee safara
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ
Kiraamim bararah.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Noble and dutiful.
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Qutilal-insanu maa akfarah.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
Min aiyyi shai-in Khalaq
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
From what substance did He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Min nutfah; khalaqahu faqad-darah.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Thummas sabeela yas-sarah
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Thumma amatahu fa-aqbarah
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Thumma iza shaa-a ansharah
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Kalla lamma yaqdi maa amarah.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Falyanzuril insanu ilaa ta-amih
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Then let mankind look at his food -
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا
Anna sabab nalmaa-a sabba.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
How We poured down water in torrents,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا
Thumma sha qaqnal-arda shaqqa.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا
Fa ambatna feeha habba
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And caused to grow within it grain
وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا
Wa 'inabaw-wa qadba
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And grapes and herbage
وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا
Wa zaitoonaw wanakh la'
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And olive and palm trees
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا
Wa hadaa-iqa ghulba
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا
Wa faki hataw-wa abba.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And fruit and grass -
مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
Mata'al-lakum wa li-an'amikum.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
Faiza jaa-atis saakhah.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
Yauma yafir-rul mar-u min akheeh
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
Wa ummihee wa abeeh
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And his mother and his father
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
Wa sahi batihee wa baneeh.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ
Likul limri-im-minuhm yaumaa-izin shaa nuy-yughneeh
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ
Wujoo huny-yauma-izim-musfira;
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ
Dahi katum mustab shirah
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ
Wa wujoohuy yauma-izin 'alaiha ghabar a
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Tarhaquha qatarah.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Blackness will cover them.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
Ulaa-ika humul-kafa ratul-fajarah.
SAHIH INTERNATIONAL
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
