سورة عبس
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
80:1
He frowned
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ١
He frowned and turned ˹his attention˺ away
80:2
He frowned
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ٢
˹simply˺ because the blind man came to him ˹interrupting˺.
80:3
He frowned
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ٣
You never know ˹O Prophet˺, perhaps he may be purified
80:4
He frowned
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ٤
or he may be mindful, benefitting from the reminder.
80:5
He frowned
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٥
As for the one who was indifferent
80:6
He frowned
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ٦
you gave him your ˹undivided˺ attention
80:7
He frowned
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ٧
even though you are not to blame if he would not be purified.
80:8
He frowned
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ٨
But as for the one who came to you, eager ˹to learn˺
80:9
He frowned
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ٩
being in awe ˹of Allah˺
80:10
He frowned
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ١٠
you were inattentive to him.
80:11
He frowned
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ١١
But no! This ˹revelation˺ is truly a reminder.
80:12
He frowned
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ١٢
So let whoever wills be mindful of it.
80:13
He frowned
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ١٣
It is ˹written˺ on pages held in honour—
80:14
He frowned
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ١٤
highly esteemed, purified—
80:15
He frowned
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ١٥
by the hands of angel-scribes
80:16
He frowned
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ١٦
honourable and virtuous.
80:17
He frowned
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ١٧
Condemned are ˹disbelieving˺ humans! How ungrateful they are ˹to Allah˺!
80:18
He frowned
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ١٨
From what substance did He create them?
80:19
He frowned
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ١٩
He created them from a sperm-drop, and ordained their development.
80:20
He frowned
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ٢٠
Then He makes the way easy for them
