He Frowned
80:1
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
He frowned and turned ˹his attention˺ away,
...
80:2
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ
˹simply˺ because the blind man came to him ˹interrupting˺.
...
80:3
وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
You never know ˹O Prophet˺, perhaps he may be purified,
...
80:4
أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ
or he may be mindful, benefitting from the reminder.
...
80:5
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ
As for the one who was indifferent,
...
80:6
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
you gave him your ˹undivided˺ attention,
...
80:7
وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
even though you are not to blame if he would not be purified.
...
80:8
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ
But as for the one who came to you, eager ˹to learn˺,
...
80:9
وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ
being in awe ˹of Allah˺,
...
80:10
فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
you were inattentive to him.
...
80:11
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ
But no! This ˹revelation˺ is truly a reminder.
...
80:12
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
So let whoever wills be mindful of it.
...
80:13
فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ
It is ˹written˺ on pages held in honour—
...
80:14
مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ

...
80:15
بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ
by the hands of angel-scribes,
...
80:16
كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ
honourable and virtuous.
...
80:17
قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ
Condemned are ˹disbelieving˺ humans! How ungrateful they are ˹to Allah˺!
...
80:18
مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From what substance did He create them?
...
80:19
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
He created them from a sperm-drop, and ordained their development.
...
80:20
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then He makes the way easy for them,
...
80:21
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ
then causes them to die and be buried.
...
80:22
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Then when He wills, He will resurrect them.
...
80:23
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
But no! They have failed to comply with what He ordered.
...
80:24
فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Let people then consider their food:
...
80:25
أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا

...
80:26
ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا
and meticulously split the earth open ˹for sprouts˺,
...
80:27

...
80:28

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
Then, when the Deafening Blast comes to pass—
...
80:34

...
80:36
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ

تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
