English - Chapter 80 - Abasa

He frowned and turned away

That the blind man came to him

And what do you know? He might reform [to become a righteous man]

Or, he might deliberate and the deliberation might benefit him

Now he who is well-to-do

To him you pay attention

And [even when] it is not your responsibility if he would not reform

And he who comes to you in earnest

And fears (Allah)

By him then are you distracted

No! [Your resentment at the blind man's intrusion is not right.] This [Qur'aan] is only an open source of divine Admonition to recite

So whoso wills may recite it and take heed from

In records honourable

Exalted and purified

By hands of scribes

Noble and virtuous

Man be damned, how ungrateful is he

Out of what thing did He create him

HE created him out of fertilized ovum and then moulded him in due proportion

And then made the path of life convenient for him

And then He caused him to die and consigned him to dust

And then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life

No! Man did certainly not carry out what Allah had asked him to do

Let man just look at his food

[To enable man to get his food] We poured water [rain] in showers

And We pierced the soil, so that it got soaked [with rain water]

Then We caused grain to grow therein

And grapevines and vegetables

And olive-trees and palm-trees

And luxuriant orchards

As provision for you and your cattle

Then as the deafening blast occurs

On the Day when every man would flee from his brother

And his mother and his father

And his spouse and his children

On that Day everyone among them will be preoccupied with his own individual concerns

Faces that Day would be beaming

Cheerful and joyous

Faces that Day would be gloomy

Darkness covering them

Those would be the ones suppressing the Truth, the ones wicked
