IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah `Abasa - He Frowned as rendered by
N J Dawood (2014)
80:1
HE¹ FROWNED and turned his bac
80:2
when the blind man came towards him
80:3
How could you¹ tell? He might have sought to purify himself
80:4
He might have remembered, and remembrance might have done him good
80:5
But to the wealthy ma
80:6
you were all attention
80:7
although the fault would not be yours if he remained uncleansed
80:8
Yet to him that came to you with zea
80:9
and awe
80:10
you paid no heed
80:11
No! This is an Admonition
80:12
let him who will, bear it in mind
80:13
It is set down on honoured pages
80:14
exalted and purified
80:15
by the hands of devout and gracious scribes
80:16
--(translation missing in source)-
80:17
Let man perish! How ungrateful he is
80:18
From what did He create him
80:19
From a little germ He created him and gave him due proportion
80:20
He made his path smooth for him
80:21
then caused him to die and stowed him in a grave
80:22
He will surely bring him back to life when He pleases
80:23
Yet he declines to do His bidding
80:24
Let man reflect on the food he eats
80:25
how We pour down the rain in torrent
80:26
and cleave the earth asunder
80:27
how We bring forth the corn
80:28
the grapes and the fresh vegetation
80:29
the olive and the palm
80:30
the thickets
80:31
the fruit-trees and the green pasture
80:32
for you and for your cattle to delight in
80:33
But when the dread blast is sounded
80:34
on that day each man will forsake his brother
80:35
his mother and his father
80:36
his consort and his children
80:37
for each one of them will on that day have enough sorrow of his own
80:38
On that day there shall be beaming faces
80:39
laughing and joyful
80:40
On that day there shall be faces covered with dust
80:41
veiled with darkness
80:42
These shall be the faces of the degenerate blasphemers
