English - Chapter 80 - Abasa

He frowned and turned his back

for that there came to him a blind man

But what should make thee know whether haply he may be purified

or may be mindful and the reminder profit him

But as for him who is wealthy

thou dost attend to him

and thou dost not care that he is not purified

but as for him who comes to thee earnestly

fearing the while

from him thou art diverted

Nay! verily, it is a memorial

and whoso pleases will remember it

In honoured pages

exalted, purified

in the hands of

noble, righteous scribes

May man be killed! how ungrateful he is

Of what did He create him

Of a clot. He created him and fated him

then the path He did make easy for him

then He killed him, and laid him in the tomb

then when He pleases will He raise him up again

Nay, he has not fulfilled his bidding

But let man look unto his foods

Verily, we have poured the water out in torrents

then we have cleft the earth asunder

and made to grow therefrom the grain

and the grape, and the hay

and the olive, and the palm

and gardens closely planted

and fruits, and grass

a provision for you and for your cattle

But when the stunning noise shall come

on the day when man shall flee from his brother

and his mother and his father

and his spouse and his sons

Every man among them on that day shall have a business to employ him

Faces on that day shall be bright

and faces shall have dust upon them

darkness shall cover them

those are the wicked misbelievers
