Abasa - Read Quran
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلّٰىۙ1
He frowned and turned away
اَنْ جَٓاءَهُ الْاَعْمٰىۜ2
when the blind man came to him––
وَمَا يُدْر۪يكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكّٰىۙ3
for all you know, he might have grown in spirit
اَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرٰىۜ4
or taken note of something useful to him
اَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنٰىۙ5
For the self-satisfied one
فَاَنْتَ لَهُ تَصَدّٰىۜ6
you go out of your way––
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ اَلَّا يَزَّكّٰىۜ7
though you are not to be blamed for his lack of spiritual growth––
وَاَمَّا مَنْ جَٓاءَكَ يَسْعٰىۙ8
but from the one who has come to you full of eagerness
وَهُوَ يَخْشٰىۙ9
and awe
فَاَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهّٰىۚ10
you allow yourself to be distracted
كَلَّٓا اِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۚ11
No indeed! This [Quran] is a lesson
فَمَنْ شَٓاءَ ذَكَرَهُۢ12
from which those who wish to be taught should learn
ف۪ي صُحُفٍ مُكَرَّمَةٍۙ13
[written] on honoured
مَرْفُوعَةٍ مُطَهَّرَةٍۙ14
exalted, pure pages
بِاَيْد۪ي سَفَرَةٍۙ15
by the hands of
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍۜ16
noble and virtuous scribes
قُتِلَ الْاِنْسَانُ مَٓا اَكْفَرَهُۜ17
Woe to man! How ungrateful he is
مِنْ اَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُۜ18
From what thing does God create him
مِنْ نُطْفَةٍۜ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُۙ19
He creates him from a droplet, He proportions him
ثُمَّ السَّب۪يلَ يَسَّرَهُۙ20
He makes the way easy for him
ثُمَّ اَمَاتَهُ فَاَقْبَرَهُۙ21
then He causes him to die and be buried
ثُمَّ اِذَا شَٓاءَ اَنْشَرَهُ22
When He wills, He will raise him up again
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَٓا اَمَرَهُۙ23
Yet mandoes not fulfil God’s commands
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْاِنْسَانُ اِلٰى طَعَامِه۪ۙ24
Let man consider the food he eats
اَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَٓاءَ صَبًّاۙ25
We pour down abundant water
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْاَرْضَ شَقًّاۙ26
and cause the soil to split open
فَاَنْبَتْنَا ف۪يهَا حَبًّاۙ27
We make grain grow
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًاۙ28
and vines, fresh vegetation
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًاۙ29
olive trees, date palms
وَحَدَٓائِقَ غُلْبًاۙ30
luscious gardens
وَفَاكِهَةً وَاَبًّاۙ31
fruits, and fodder
مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْۜ32
all for you and your livestock to enjoy
فَاِذَا جَٓاءَتِ الصَّٓاخَّةُۘ33
When the Deafening Blast comes––
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ اَخ۪يهِۙ34
the Day man will flee from his own brother
وَاُمِّهِ وَاَب۪يهِۙ35
his mother, his father
وَصَاحِبَتِه۪ وَبَن۪يهِۜ36
his wife, his children
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَاْنٌ يُغْن۪يهِۜ37
each of them will be absorbed in concerns of their own on that Day
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْفِرَةٌۙ38
on that Day some faces will be beaming
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌۚ39
laughing, and rejoicing
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۙ40
but some faces will be dust-stained
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌۜ41
and covered in darkness
اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ42
those are the disbelievers, the licentious
