سُورَةُ عَبَسَ

English — Saheeh International

The Prophet frowned and turned away

English — Saheeh International

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

English — Saheeh International

But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

English — Saheeh International

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

English — Saheeh International

As for he who thinks himself without need,

English — Saheeh International

To him you give attention.

English — Saheeh International

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

English — Saheeh International

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

English — Saheeh International

While he fears [Allah],

English — Saheeh International

From him you are distracted.

English — Saheeh International

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

English — Saheeh International

So whoever wills may remember it.

English — Saheeh International

[It is recorded] in honored sheets,

English — Saheeh International

Exalted and purified,

English — Saheeh International

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

English — Saheeh International

Noble and dutiful.

English — Saheeh International

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

English — Saheeh International

From what substance did He create him?

English — Saheeh International

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

English — Saheeh International

Then He eased the way for him;

English — Saheeh International

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

English — Saheeh International

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

English — Saheeh International

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

English — Saheeh International

Then let mankind look at his food -

English — Saheeh International

How We poured down water in torrents,

English — Saheeh International

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

English — Saheeh International

And caused to grow within it grain

English — Saheeh International

And grapes and herbage

English — Saheeh International

And olive and palm trees

English — Saheeh International

And gardens of dense shrubbery

English — Saheeh International

And fruit and grass -

English — Saheeh International

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.

English — Saheeh International

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

English — Saheeh International

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

English — Saheeh International

And his mother and his father

English — Saheeh International

And his wife and his children,

English — Saheeh International

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

English — Saheeh International

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

English — Saheeh International

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

English — Saheeh International

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.

English — Saheeh International

Blackness will cover them.

English — Saheeh International

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
