Surah 80. Abasa

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1. He frowned and turned away
2. Because the blind man came to him.
3. What could inform you but that he might grow
4. Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him?
5. As for him who thinks himself independent,
6. To him you pay regard.
7. Yet it is not your concern if he grow not.
8. But as for him who comes to you with earnest purpose
9. And has fear,
10. From him you are distracted.
11. Nay, but surely it is an Admonishment,
12. So let whoever will pay heed to it,
13. On honored leaves
14. Exalted, purified,
15. by scribes
16. Noble and righteous.
17. Man is destroyed: how ungrateful!
18. From what thing does He create him?
19. From a drop of seed. He creates him and proportions him,
20. Then makes the way easy for him,
21. Then causes him to die, and buries him;
22. Then, when He will, He brings him again to life.
23. Nay, but has not done what He commanded him.
24. Let man consider his food:
25. How We pour water in showers
26. Then split the earth in clefts
27. And cause the grain to grow therein
28. And grapes and green fodder
29. And olive trees and palm trees
30. And garden closes of thick foliage
31. And fruits and grasses:
32. Provision for you and your cattle.
33. But when the Shout comes
34. On the day when a man flees from his brother
35. And his mother and his father
36. And his wife and his children,
37. Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless.
38. On that day faces will be bright as dawn,
39. Laughing, rejoicing at good news;
40. And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,
41. Veiled in darkness,
42. Those are the deniers, the wicked.
