عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١﴾

He frowned and then turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ﴿٢﴾

from a blind man who had come up to him.

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

You never know. Perhaps he wanted to purify himself,

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ﴿٤﴾

or receive some (Quranic) advice which would benefit him.

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

Yet you pay attention

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ﴿٦﴾

to a rich man,

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ﴿٧﴾

though you will not be questioned even if he never purifies himself.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ﴿٨﴾

As for the one who comes to you earnestly (striving for guidance).

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

and who has fear of God,

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

you ignore him.

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ﴿١١﴾

These verses are a reminder

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ ﴿١٢﴾

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ﴿١٣﴾

(This Quran) is also recorded in honorable books,

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ ﴿١٥﴾

كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ ﴿١٦﴾

قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ ﴿١٧﴾

May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve?

مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ ﴿١٨﴾

From what has God created him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ ﴿١٩﴾

He created him from a living germ. He determined his fate

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ﴿٢٠﴾

and made the path of guidance easy for him to follow.

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ﴿٢١﴾

Then He caused him to die and be buried

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ ﴿٢٢﴾

and He will resurrect him whenever He wants.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ ﴿٢٣﴾

Certainly, he has not duly fulfilled His commands.

فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ ﴿٢٤﴾

When the trumpet sounds,

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ﴿٣٤﴾

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ﴿٤١﴾
