Surah 'Abasa: He Frowned

Revealed at Makkah


80:21
then He causes him to die, and He assigns to him an interment;


80:22
then when He pleases He will raise him up.


80:23
No, he has not done what He commanded him.


80:24
Therefore let man look at his food—


80:25
how We pour down the water a great pouring;


80:26
and then We split the earth a splitting,


80:27
so that We cause to grow in it grain,


80:28
and grapes and vegetations,


80:29
and olives and dates,


80:30
and gardens thickly planted,


80:31
and fruits and pasture,—


80:32
a provision for you and for your cattle.


80:33
Then when the terrible blast comes—


80:34
that Day man will flee from his brother,


80:35
and his mother and his father,


80:36
and his spouse and his children.


80:37
For every man of them that Day there will be enough concern to make him indifferent.


80:38
some faces that Day will be bright,


80:39
laughing, rejoicing.


80:40
And other faces that Day will have dust upon them;


80:41
darkness covering them.


80:42
These are themselves the Unbelievers, the wicked.
