English - Chapter 80 - Abasa

He frowned and turned his back

Because there came to him the blind man

And what would make you know that he would grow (spiritually)

Or that he might become heedful so that the reminder should profit him

As for him who considers himself independent (or self-sufficient)

To him do you attend

Yet no blame is on you if he grow not (spiritually)

And as to him who comes to you striving earnestly

And with the fear of Allah in his heart

From him were you unmindful (or distracted)

Nay! Verily, it is an admonishment (or a message of instructions)

So let whoever will pay heed to it

It is in honoured books

Exalted, purified

Set down by scribes

Noble and righteous

Cursed (self-destroyed) is man! How ungrateful (to Allah) is he

Of what stuff did He create him

Of a small seed; He created him, then gave him due proportions

Then He made his way easy for him

Then He causes him to die and buries him in his grave

Then when He wills, He will raise him to life again

Nay; but man has not done that which He bade him

Then let man consider his food

That We pour down the water in abundance

Then We cleave the earth

Then We cause to grow therein the grain

And grapes and clover

And the olive and the palm

And fruits and herbage

A provision for you and for your cattle

But when the Deafening Noise (cataclysm) comes

The Day on which a man shall fly from his brother

And his mother and his father

And his spouse and his children

Every man of them shall on that Day be occupied with concerns which will make him heedless of others

Many faces on that Day shall be bright as dawn (or beaming with light)

Laughing, rejoicing

And many faces on that Day, shall be covered with dust

Veiled in darkness

These are the disbelievers, the wicked
