    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.

    بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

    إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتْ١

    When the sky breaks apart

    وَإِذَا ٱلْكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتْ٢

    And when the stars fall, scattering,

    وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ٣

    And when the seas are erupted

    وَإِذَا ٱلْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ٤

    And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,

    عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ٥

    A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.

    يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا غَرَّكَ بِرَبِّكَ ٱلْكَرِيمِ٦

    O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous,

    ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ فَسَوَّىٰكَ فَعَدَلَكَ٧

    Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you?

    فِىٓ أَىِّ صُورَةٍۢ مَّا شَآءَ رَكَّبَكَ٨

    In whatever form He willed has He assembled you.

    كَلَّا بَلْ تُكَذِّبُونَ بِٱلدِّينِ٩

    No! But you deny the Recompense.

    وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَٰفِظِينَ١٠

    And indeed, [appointed] over you are keepers,

    كِرَامًۭا كَٰتِبِينَ١١

    Noble and recording;

    يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ١٢

    They know whatever you do.

    إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍۢ١٣

    Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure,

    وَإِنَّ ٱلْفُجَّارَ لَفِى جَحِيمٍۢ١٤

    And indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.

    يَصْلَوْنَهَا يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ١٥

    They will [enter to] burn therein on the Day of Recompense,

    وَمَا هُمْ عَنْهَا بِغَآئِبِينَ١٦

    And never therefrom will they be absent.

    وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ١٧

    And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

    ثُمَّ مَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ١٨

    Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

    يَوْمَ لَا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌۭ لِّنَفْسٍۢ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَٱلْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلَّهِ١٩

    It is the Day when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah.

  2. Maghrib

  3. Isha

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently. The live tracker's ayat begin on 25 September 2026; for earlier days this page shows the Haramain library's records.

Look up a day

Hijri date

Where this comes from

Each prayer's imam, passage and recording are listed by the Haramain library, Tilawat al-Haramain (tilawatalharamain.com), usually within a few hours of the prayer. Its titles are written by hand; Hasanah reads the surahs and ayat from them.

The ayat by rak'ah come from Hasanah's live tracker, which listens to the Quran channel's broadcast from the Haram and names each ayah as it is recited. It has kept them since 25 September 2026. It can miss an ayah or mishear one, so a passage it heard may be a little shorter or longer than the one recited.

Dhuhr and Asr are prayed silently, so there is no recitation to show for them. Times are calculated for Makkah by the Umm al-Qura method.
