سورة عبس - ‘Abasa

آية: 1

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

He frowned and turned away,

آية: 2

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ

when the blind man came to him^[1].

[1] Abdullah ibn Um Maktūm, an early Muslim who was blind, came to the Prophet (ﷺ) seeking to learn, while the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the middle of a discussion with a leading pagan of Makkah, calling him to Islam. Abdullah was so impatient that he interrupted their discussion. The Prophet (ﷺ) frowned and turned his attention to that pagan. So this Makkan surah was revealed, telling the Prophet (ﷺ) that the faithful blind man was more worthy of attention than that disbeliever.

آية: 3

وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

How would you know? Perhaps he might be purified^[2],

[2] Through the knowledge he learns from you.

آية: 4

أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ

or he might take heed and benefit from the reminder?

آية: 5

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

But he who was indifferent^[3],

[3] Towards faith. Here it is referring to that influential pagan of the Quraysh whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had hoped to embrace Islam.

آية: 6

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

you give him your full attention,

آية: 7

وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

although you are not to be blamed if he does not purify himself^[4].

[4] The Prophets are only responsible to convey the message, not for people’s guidance.

آية: 8

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ

But as for the one who came to you striving [for purification],

آية: 9

وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ

and he fears Allah,

آية: 10

فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

you let yourself be distracted from him.

آية: 11

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ

No indeed; this is a reminder –

آية: 12

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

so whoever wills may give heed to it –

آية: 13

فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ

on venerable pages,

آية: 14

مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ

[6] His creation, provisions, life span, etc.

آية: 20

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ

then He made the way easy for him^[7];

[7] i.e., the way out of his mothers’ wombs (his birth), or the way to guidance.

آية: 21

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ

then He caused him to die and be buried;

آية: 22

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ

then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

آية: 23

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ

and cause grains to grow in it,

آية: 28

وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا

as well as grapes and fodder,

وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ

But when the Deafening Blast^[8] comes,

[8] The piercing Blast; the second Blast for resurrection.

On that day, everyone will have enough concern of his own^[9].

[9] Thus forgetting all others.

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ

On that Day, some faces will be bright,

آية: 39

ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ

cheerful and rejoicing;

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ

while other faces will be dust-stained,

تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
