English - Chapter 80 - Abasa

He (the Prophet) frowned and turned away

when there came to him the blind man (Ibn Umme Maktum, who came to the Prophet and interrupted his conversation with the chiefs of Mecca)

How could you tell? He might have sought to purify himself

or become reminded and might have benefited from Our reminder

As for him who is indifferent

to whom you were attending

you will not be held responsible if he would not purify himself

Yet to him who came to you with zeal on his own

and with fear of Allah in his heart

you gave no heed

It should not be so! Indeed, this is but an admonition

let him who wants, accept it

It is written in scrolls, which are honored

exalted, purified

and which remain in the hands of scribes

who are noble and virtuous

Woe to man! What a disbeliever he is

Out of what Allah has created him

Out of a semen-drop! Allah created him and then fashioned him in due proportion

then makes his way of life smooth for him

then causes him to die and stows him in a grave

Then He will surely bring him back to life when He pleases

By no means has he fulfilled the duty that Allah had assigned him

Let man reflect on the food he eats

How We pour down rainwater in abundance

and cleave the soil asunder

How We bring forth grain

grapes and nutritious vegetation

olives and dates

lush gardens

fruits and fodder

as a means of sustenance for you and your cattle

Finally when there come the deafening blast

on that Day each man shall flee from his own brother

his mother and his father

his wife and his children

For each one of them, on that Day, shall have enough concern of his own to make him indifferent to the others

Some faces on that Day shall be shining

smiling and joyful

And some faces on that Day shall be dusty

and veiled with darkness

These shall be the faces of the disbelieving wicked
