| بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ | |
| In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |
| عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى |
01 |
| (The Prophet (Peace be upon him) frowned and turned away, | |
| أَن جَاءهُ الْأَعْمَى |
02 |
| Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. ’Abdullâh bin Umm-Maktûm, who came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs). | |
| وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى |
03 |
| But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? | |
| أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى |
04 |
| Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him? | |
| أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى |
05 |
| As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient, | |
| فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى |
06 |
| To him you attend; | |
| وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّى |
07 |
| What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allâh). | |
| وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءكَ يَسْعَى |
08 |
| But as to him who came to you running. | |
| وَهُوَ يَخْشَى |
09 |
| And is afraid (of Allâh and His Punishment), | |
| فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى |
10 |
| Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another, | |
| كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ |
11 |
| Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Qur’ân) are an admonition, | |
| فَمَن شَاء ذَكَرَهُ |
12 |
| So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. | |
| فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ |
13 |
| (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz). | |
| مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ |
14 |
| Exalted (in dignity), purified, | |
| بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ |
15 |
| In the hands of scribes (angels). | |
| كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ |
16 |
| Honourable and obedient. | |
| قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ |
17 |
| Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! | |
| مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ |
18 |
| From what thing did He create him? | |
| مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ |
19 |
| From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion; | |
| ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ |
20 |
| Then He makes the Path easy for him; | |
| ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ |
21 |
| Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; | |
| ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاء أَنشَرَهُ |
22 |
| Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again). | |
| كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ |
23 |
| Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him. | |
| فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ |
24 |
| Then let man look at his food, | |
| أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاء صَبًّا |
25 |
| That We pour forth water in abundance, | |
| ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا |
26 |
| And We split the earth in clefts, | |
| فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا |
27 |
| And We cause therein the grain to grow, | |
| وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا |
28 |
| And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle), | |
| وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا |
29 |
| And olives and date-palms, | |
| وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا |
30 |
| And gardens, dense with many trees, | |
| وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا |
31 |
| And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.), | |
| مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ |
32 |
| (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. | |
| فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الصَّاخَّةُ |
33 |
| Then, when there comes As-Sâkhkhah (the Day of Resurrection’s second blowing of Trumpet), | |
| يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ |
34 |
| That Day shall a man flee from his brother, | |
| وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ |
35 |
| And from his mother and his father, | |
| وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ |
36 |
| And from his wife and his children. | |
| لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ |
37 |
| Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of others. | |
| وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ |
38 |
| Some faces that Day, will be bright (true believers of Islâmic Monotheism). | |
| ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ |
39 |
| Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). | |
| وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ |
40 |
| And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained; | |
| تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ |
41 |
| Darkness will cover them, | |
| أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ |
42 |
| Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allâh, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him), etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers). | |
