# Translation Ayah
1 He frowned and turned away عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى
2 that the blind man came to him. أَن جَاءهُ الْأَعْمَى
3 How could you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself, وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى
4 or he might be mindful and good counsel might avail him. أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى
5 Now he who waxes indifferent, أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى
6 you attend to him, فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى
7 though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself. وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّى
8 But he who comes to you running, وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءكَ يَسْعَى
9 and fears (Allah), وَهُوَ يَخْشَى
10 you pay no heed to him. فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى
11 No indeed; this is only a Reminder. كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
12 So whoso wills may give heed to it. فَمَن شَاء ذَكَرَهُ
13 It is contained in scrolls highly honoured, فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
14 most exalted and purified, مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ
15 borne by the hands of scribes, بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ
16 noble and purified. كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ
17 Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth. قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ
18 Out of what did Allah create him? مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
19 Out of a sperm-drop did He create him and then determined a measure for him, مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ
20 and then made the course of life easy for him, ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ
21 then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave, ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ
22 and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life. ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاء أَنشَرَهُ
23 Nay, but man did not fulfil what Allah had enjoined upon him. كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ
24 So let man just consider his food: فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ
25 We poured water, pouring it in great abundance, أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاء صَبًّا
26 and cleaved the earth, cleaving it asunder; ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
27 then caused the grain to grow out of it, فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
28 together with grapes and vegetables, وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
29 and olives and palms, وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
30 and dense orchards, وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا
31 and fruits and pastures – وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
32 all this as a provision for you and your cattle. مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
33 But when the deafening cry shall be sounded فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الصَّاخَّةُ
34 on the Day when each man shall flee from his brother, يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
35 and his mother and his father; وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ
36 and his consort and his children; وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ
37 on that Day each will be occupied with his own business, making him oblivious of all save himself. لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
38 Some faces on that Day shall be beaming with happiness, وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
39 and be cheerful and joyous. ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
40 Some faces on that Day shall be dust-ridden, وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
41 enveloped by darkness. تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
42 These will be the unbelievers, the wicked. أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ
