| | Shabbir Ahmed rendition of Surah He Frowned(`Abasa)
--- |
|---|
| 80:1 | | Someone frowned and turned away |
| 80:2 | | Because the blind man approached him |
| 80:3 | | How could you know that he might have grown in goodness |
| 80:4 | | Or that he be enlightened and the Reminder might benefit him |
| 80:5 | | As for him who deems himself in no need of Guidance |
| 80:6 | | Unto him you give attention |
| 80:7 | | Yet it is not your responsibility if he grows not in goodness |
| 80:8 | | But as for him who came to you in all eagerness |
| 80:9 | | And feared straying. (2:2) |
| 80:10 | | Him did you disregard |
| 80:11 | | Nay, indeed this is an Advisory |
| 80:12 | | So let him pay heed who will |
| 80:13 | | In Scrolls Dignified |
| 80:14 | | Exalted, Purified |
| 80:15 | | By the hands of Scribes |
| 80:16 | | Honorable and virtuous |
| 80:17 | | Man destroys himself, how ungrateful, rejecting the Sublime Truth |
| 80:18 | | Out of what thing has He created him |
| 80:19 | | From the male and the female gametes He created him, and then fashioned him in due proportion |
| 80:20 | | And then makes the Way easy for him. (Endowed with faculties) |
| 80:21 | | Then causes him to die and brings him to disintegrated states. ('Qabr' = Grave = Disintegrated state = The state of sleep between physical death and Resurrection (36:52)) |
| 80:22 | | Then, when He will, He shall raise him to life again |
| 80:23 | | Nay, man did not fulfill what He enjoined upon him |
| 80:24 | | Let man consider his food. (His own food has involved so many hands from the field to the mouth. Shouldn't he share Our provision with others? |
| 80:25 | | How We pour water in showers |
| 80:26 | | And then We split the earth, split and cleave |
| 80:27 | | And cause the grain to grow therein |
| 80:28 | | And vineyards, and fresh vegetation |
| 80:29 | | And olive trees and palm trees |
| 80:30 | | And dense beautiful gardens |
| 80:31 | | And fruits and grasses |
| 80:32 | | Provision for you and your cattle |
| 80:33 | | But when comes the Call |
| 80:34 | | On the Day when a man will flee from his brother |
| 80:35 | | And his mother and his father |
| 80:36 | | And his wife and his children |
| 80:37 | | To everyone on that Day will be enough his own concern |
| 80:38 | | Some faces on that Day will be bright as dawn |
| 80:39 | | Laughing, rejoicing at good news |
| 80:40 | | And some faces on that Day will have dust upon them |
| 80:41 | | With gloom overspread |
| 80:42 | | These, these will be the ones who denied the Truth and divided humanity |
