Sorah Abasa ( He frowned ) - Verses Number 42
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 1 ) 
The Prophet frowned and turned away
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ ( 2 )
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ ( 3 )
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ ( 4 )
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 5 )
As for he who thinks himself without need,
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ ( 6 )
To him you give attention.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ( 7 )
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ( 8 )
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ( 9 )
While he fears [Allah],
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ( 10 )
From him you are distracted.
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ( 11 )
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ ( 12 )
So whoever wills may remember it.
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ ( 13 )
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ ( 14 )
Exalted and purified,
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ ( 15 )
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ ( 16 )
Noble and dutiful.
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ ( 17 )
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ( 18 )
From what substance did He create him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ ( 19 )
From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ ( 20 )
Then He eased the way for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ ( 21 )
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ ( 22 )
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ ( 23 )
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ ( 24 )
Then let mankind look at his food -
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا ( 25 )
How We poured down water in torrents,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا ( 26 )
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا ( 27 )
And caused to grow within it grain
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا ( 28 )
And grapes and herbage
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا ( 29 )
And olive and palm trees
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا ( 30 )
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا ( 31 )
And fruit and grass -
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ( 32 )
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ ( 33 )
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ( 34 )
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ ( 35 )
And his mother and his father
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ ( 36 )
And his wife and his children,
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ( 37 )
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ( 38 )
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ( 39 )
Laughing, rejoicing at good news.
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ( 40 )
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ( 41 )
Blackness will cover them.
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ ( 42 )
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.
