| | Ali Ünal rendition of Surah He Frowned(`Abasa)
--- |
|---|
| 80:1 | | He (a disbelieving, haughty man) frowned and turned away |
| 80:2 | | Because (while he was talking with the Messenger) the blind man approached him |
| 80:3 | | What would inform you (O haughty one) but that he might grow in purity (by doing good deeds) |
| 80:4 | | Or that he might grow mindful (of God’s Message), and the reminder benefit him |
| 80:5 | | As for him who deems himself to be independent (not needy of Divine guidance because of pride in his wealth and status) |
| 80:6 | | You (O Messenger) attend to him (so that he may accept Islam and reform) |
| 80:7 | | Though you are not accountable if he does not grow in purity (through acceptance of faith and fulfilling its obligations and responsibilities) |
| 80:8 | | But as for him who came to you eagerly |
| 80:9 | | And he was in awe of God |
| 80:10 | | You divert your attention from him (to the other) |
| 80:11 | | No indeed! It surely is a reminder and an admonition (that suffices for all who come to it with an open heart) |
| 80:12 | | So whoever wills receives admonition and takes heed |
| 80:13 | | (It is recorded) in scrolls greatly honored |
| 80:14 | | Exalted (in God’s sight) and perfectly purified (of falsehood, vanity, and inconsistency) |
| 80:15 | | (Borne) by the hands of angel-envoys |
| 80:16 | | Noble and virtuous |
| 80:17 | | Human is ruined – for how thankless and disbelieving he is |
| 80:18 | | (Does he never consider) from what thing He has created him |
| 80:19 | | From a drop of (seminal) fluid; He has created him and fashioned him in measured proportions (for his shape and for his life) |
| 80:20 | | Thereafter He has made the path (to God) easy for him |
| 80:21 | | Thereafter He causes him to die and buries him |
| 80:22 | | Thereafter, when He wills, He raises him again to life |
| 80:23 | | No indeed! Human has not fulfilled what God enjoined on him |
| 80:24 | | Then, let human consider his food (and so reflect on his Lord’s Mercy and the truth of Resurrection) |
| 80:25 | | That We pour down the water in abundance |
| 80:26 | | Then We split the earth in clefts |
| 80:27 | | And so We enable grain to grow therein |
| 80:28 | | And grapes, and edible plants |
| 80:29 | | And olive-trees and date-palms |
| 80:30 | | And gardens dense with foliage |
| 80:31 | | And (diverse other) fruits and herbage |
| 80:32 | | As a means of livelihood for you and your animals |
| 80:33 | | But when the piercing Cry (heralding the Resurrection) sounds |
| 80:34 | | On that Day when a person flees from his brother |
| 80:35 | | And from his mother and father |
| 80:36 | | And from his spouse and his children |
| 80:37 | | Everyone on that Day has concern of his own enough to make him heedless (of anything else) |
| 80:38 | | Some faces will on that Day be radiant with happines |
| 80:39 | | Smiling, rejoicing at good tidings |
| 80:40 | | And some faces will on that Day be dust-stained |
| 80:41 | | Veiled in darkness |
| 80:42 | | Those are the unbelievers, shameless and dissolute |
