80:1

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

He frowned and turned ˹his attention˺ away,

80:2

أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ

˹simply˺ because the blind man came to him ˹interrupting˺.¹

80:3

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ

You never know ˹O Prophet˺, perhaps he may be purified,

80:4

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

or he may be mindful, benefitting from the reminder.

80:5

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

As for the one who was indifferent,

80:6

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ

you gave him your ˹undivided˺ attention,

80:7

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

even though you are not to blame if he would not be purified.

80:8

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

But as for the one who came to you, eager ˹to learn˺,

80:9

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

being in awe ˹of Allah˺,

80:10

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

you were inattentive to him.

80:11

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ

But no! This ˹revelation˺ is truly a reminder.

80:12

فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ

So let whoever wills be mindful of it.

80:13

فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ

It is ˹written˺ on pages held in honour—

80:14

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ

highly esteemed, purified—

80:15

بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ

by the hands of angel-scribes,

80:16

كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ

honourable and virtuous.

80:17

قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ

Condemned are ˹disbelieving˺ humans! How ungrateful they are ˹to Allah˺!

80:18

مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ

From what substance did He create them?

80:19

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ

He created them from a sperm-drop, and ordained their development.

80:20

ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ

Then He makes the way easy for them,¹

80:21

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ

then causes them to die and be buried.¹

80:22

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ

Then when He wills, He will resurrect them.

80:23

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ

But no! They have failed to comply with what He ordered.

80:24

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ

Let people then consider their food:

80:25

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا

how We pour down rain in abundance

80:26

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا

and meticulously split the earth open ˹for sprouts˺,

80:27

فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا

causing grain to grow in it,

80:28

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا

as well as grapes and greens,

80:29

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا

and olives and palm trees,

80:30

وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا

and dense orchards,

80:31

وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا

and fruit and fodder—

80:32

مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

all as ˹a means of˺ sustenance for you and your animals.

80:33

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ

Then, when the Deafening Blast¹ comes to pass—

80:34

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ

on that Day every person will flee from their own siblings,

80:35

وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ

and ˹even˺ their mother and father,

80:36

وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ

and ˹even˺ their spouse and children.

80:37

لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ

For then everyone will have enough concern of their own.

80:38

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ

On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright,

80:39

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ

laughing and rejoicing,

80:40

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ

while ˹other˺ faces will be dusty,

80:41

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

cast in gloom—

80:42

أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ

those are the disbelievers, the ˹wicked˺ sinners.
