Surah Abasa

Quran Chapter 80

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1He frowned and turned away.

2Because the blind man approached him.

3And how could you possibly know? Maybe he would purify himself.

4Or he might be reminded, and the reminder would benefit him.

5Yet, as for the one who is indifferent.

6You devoted your full attention.

7Even though you bear no responsibility if he fails to achieve purification.

8But as for the one who came to you striving earnestly.

9Brimming with awe and humility.

10You were neglectful of him.

11No. This is a reminder.

12So, let whoever wills, take it to heart.

13On esteemed pages.

14Exalted and sanctified.

15By the hands of scribes.

16Noble and virtuous.

17Perish man! How ungrateful he is!

18From what did He create him?

19From a drop, He created him, and then proportioned him.

20Then He smoothed the path for him.

21Then He causes him to die, and then He buries him.

22Then, at His will, He will resurrect him.

23Yet, he didn’t fulfill what He commanded him.

24Let man contemplate his food.

25How We pour down rain in torrents.

26Then, We burst the earth in clefts.

27And cause diverse grains to sprout.

28And grapes and vegetables.

29And olives and dates.

30And lush gardens.

31And fruits and pastures.

32For you and your livestock to enjoy.

33Then, when the Shattering Blast comes.

34On that Day, a person will flee from his brother.

35And from his mother and father.

36And from his girlfriend and his children.

37Each one of them, on that day, will have enough preoccupations of his own.

38Faces on that Day will be bright.

39Laughing, rejoicing.

40Other faces, on that day, will have upon them dust.

41Darkness will cover them.

42These are the unbelievers, the wicked.
