   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   إِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ قَالُوا۟ نَشْهَدُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَكَٰذِبُونَ١

   When the hypocrites come to you, [O Muhammad], they say, "We testify that you are the Messenger of Allah." And Allah knows that you are His Messenger, and Allah testifies that the hypocrites are liars.

   ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَيْمَٰنَهُمْ جُنَّةًۭ فَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ٢

   They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allah. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.

   ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ءَامَنُوا۟ ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا۟ فَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ٣

   That is because they believed, and then they disbelieved; so their hearts were sealed over, and they do not understand.

   ۞ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَقُولُوا۟ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ ۖ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌۭ مُّسَنَّدَةٌۭ ۖ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ هُمُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ فَٱحْذَرْهُمْ ۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ٤

   And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?

   وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا۟ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ لَوَّوْا۟ رُءُوسَهُمْ وَرَأَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ٥

   And when it is said to them, "Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads aside and you see them evading while they are arrogant.

   سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ٦

   It is all the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; never will Allah forgive them. Indeed, Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

   هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنفِقُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَنْ عِندَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ حَتَّىٰ يَنفَضُّوا۟ ۗ وَلِلَّهِ خَزَآئِنُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ٧

   They are the ones who say, "Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah until they disband." And to Allah belongs the depositories of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.

   يَقُولُونَ لَئِن رَّجَعْنَآ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَيُخْرِجَنَّ ٱلْأَعَزُّ مِنْهَا ٱلْأَذَلَّ ۚ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ٨

   They say, "If we return to al-Madinah, the more honored [for power] will surely expel therefrom the more humble." And to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.

   يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَٰدُكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ٩

   O you who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from remembrance of Allah. And whoever does that - then those are the losers.

   وَأَنفِقُوا۟ مِن مَّا رَزَقْنَٰكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوْلَآ أَخَّرْتَنِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍۢ قَرِيبٍۢ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ١٠

   And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, "My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous."

   وَلَن يُؤَخِّرَ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهَا ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ١١

   But never will Allah delay a soul when its time has come. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.

   Read the passage · Abasa

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ١

   The Prophet frowned and turned away

   أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ٢

   Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

   وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ٣

   But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

   أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ٤

   Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

   أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ٥

   As for he who thinks himself without need,

   فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ٦

   To him you give attention.

   وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ٧

   And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

   وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ٨

   But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

   وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ٩

   While he fears [Allah],

   فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ١٠

   From him you are distracted.

   كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ١١

   No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

   فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ١٢

   So whoever wills may remember it.

   فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ١٣

   [It is recorded] in honored sheets,

   مَّرْفُوعَةٍۢ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ١٤

   Exalted and purified,

   بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍۢ١٥

   [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

   كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍۢ١٦

   Noble and dutiful.

   قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ١٧

   Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

   مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ١٨

   From what substance did He create him?

   مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ١٩

   From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

   ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ٢٠

   Then He eased the way for him;

   ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ٢١

   Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

   ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ٢٢

   Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

   كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ٢٣

   No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

   فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ٢٤

   Then let mankind look at his food -

   أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّۭا٢٥

   How We poured down water in torrents,

   ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّۭا٢٦

   Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],

   فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّۭا٢٧

   And caused to grow within it grain

   وَعِنَبًۭا وَقَضْبًۭا٢٨

   And grapes and herbage

   وَزَيْتُونًۭا وَنَخْلًۭا٢٩

   And olive and palm trees

   وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا٣٠

   And gardens of dense shrubbery

   وَفَٰكِهَةًۭ وَأَبًّۭا٣١

   And fruit and grass -

   مَّتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ٣٢

   [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.

   فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ٣٣

   But when there comes the Deafening Blast

   يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ٣٤

   On the Day a man will flee from his brother

   وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ٣٥

   And his mother and his father

   وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ٣٦

   And his wife and his children,

   لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ شَأْنٌۭ يُغْنِيهِ٣٧

   For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.

   وُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّسْفِرَةٌۭ٣٨

   [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright -

   ضَاحِكَةٌۭ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌۭ٣٩

   Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

   وَوُجُوهٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌۭ٤٠

   And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.
