‘Abasa

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 1

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

He frowned and turned away,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 3

وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

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

[2] Through the knowledge he learns from you.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 4

أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ

or he might take heed and benefit from the reminder?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 6

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

you give him your full attention,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 8

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 9

وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ

and he fears Allah,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 10

فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

you let yourself be distracted from him.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 11

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٞ

No indeed; this is a reminder –

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 12

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

so whoever wills may give heed to it –

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 13

فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ

on venerable pages,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 14

مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ

exalted and purified,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 15

بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ

[preserved] in the hands of angel-scribes,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 16

كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ

honorable and obedient.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 17

قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ

Woe to man; how ungrateful he is^[5]!

[5] i.e., the disbelievers.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 18

مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

From what did He create him?

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 19

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ

He created him from a drop of semen and proportioned him^[6],

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 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.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 21

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ

then He caused him to die and be buried;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 22

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ

then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 23

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ

Yet he has not fulfilled what He commanded him.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 24

فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ

Let man consider the food he eats:

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 25

أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا

How We pour down rainwater in torrents,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 26

ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا

and cause the soil to split open [for sprouts],

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 27

فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا حَبّٗا

and cause grains to grow in it,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 28

وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا

as well as grapes and fodder,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 29

وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا

and olive trees and date palms,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 30

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبٗا

and dense orchards,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 31

وَفَٰكِهَةٗ وَأَبّٗا

and fruits and grass,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 32

مَّتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ

as provision for you and your livestock.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 33

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ

But when the Deafening Blast^[8] comes,

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

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 34

يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ

on that Day everyone will flee from his brother,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 35

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ

and from his mother and father,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 36

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ

and from his wife and children.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 37

لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ

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

[9] Thus forgetting all others.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 38

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ

On that Day, some faces will be bright,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 39

ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ

cheerful and rejoicing;

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 40

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ

while other faces will be dust-stained,

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 41

تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

covered in darkness.

ಶ್ಲೋಕ: 42

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ

Such are the disbelievers, the wicked.
