Surah Abasa

ثُمَّأَمَاتَهُۥفَأَقْبَرَهُۥ

and in the end He causes him to die and brings him to the grave;

ثُمَّإِذَاشَآءَأَنشَرَهُۥ

and then, if it be His will, He shall raise him again to life,

كَلَّالَمَّايَقْضِمَآأَمَرَهُۥ

Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him!

فَلْيَنظُرِٱلْإِنسَٰنُإِلَىٰطَعَامِهِۦٓ

Let man, then, consider [the sources of] his food:

أَنَّاصَبَبْنَاٱلْمَآءَصَبًّۭا

[how it is] that We pour down water, pouring it down abundantly;

ثُمَّشَقَقْنَاٱلْأَرْضَشَقًّۭا

and then We cleave the earth [with new growth], cleaving it asunder,

فَأَنۢبَتْنَافِيهَاحَبًّۭا

and thereupon We cause grain to grow out of it,

وَعِنَبًۭاوَقَضْبًۭا

and vines and edible plants,

وَزَيْتُونًۭاوَنَخْلًۭا

and olive trees and date-palms,

وَحَدَآئِقَغُلْبًۭا

and gardens dense with foliage,

وَفَٰكِهَةًۭوَأَبًّۭا

and fruits and herbage,

مَّتَٰعًۭالَّكُمْوَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ

for you and for your animals to enjoy.

فَإِذَاجَآءَتِٱلصَّآخَّةُ

AND SO, when the piercing call [of resurrection] is heard

يَوْمَيَفِرُّٱلْمَرْءُمِنْأَخِيهِ

on a Day when everyone will [want to] flee from his brother,

وَأُمِّهِۦوَأَبِيهِ

and from his mother and father,

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦوَبَنِيهِ

and from his spouse and his children:

لِكُلِّٱمْرِئٍۢمِّنْهُمْيَوْمَئِذٍۢشَأْنٌۭيُغْنِيهِ

on that Day, to every one of them will his own state be of sufficient concern.

وُجُوهٌۭيَوْمَئِذٍۢمُّسْفِرَةٌۭ

Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness,

ضَاحِكَةٌۭمُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ

laughing, rejoicing at glad tidings.

وَوُجُوهٌۭيَوْمَئِذٍعَلَيْهَاغَبَرَةٌۭ

And some faces will on that Day with dust be covered,
