Sorah Abasa ( He frowned )

English - Sahih International

Sorah Abasa ( He frowned ) - Verses Number 42

عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 1 )

The Prophet frowned and turned away

أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ ( 2 )

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

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ ( 3 )

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

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ ( 4 )

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 5 )

As for he who thinks himself without need,

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ ( 6 )

To him you give attention.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ( 7 )

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

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ( 8 )

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

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ( 9 )

While he fears [Allah],

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ( 10 )

From him you are distracted.

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ( 11 )

No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;

فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ ( 12 )

So whoever wills may remember it.

فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ ( 13 )

[It is recorded] in honored sheets,

مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ ( 14 )

Exalted and purified,

بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ ( 15 )

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,

كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ ( 16 )

Noble and dutiful.

قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ ( 17 )

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.

مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ( 18 )

From what substance did He create him?

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ ( 19 )

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

ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ ( 20 )

Then He eased the way for him;

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ ( 21 )

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

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ ( 22 )

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ ( 23 )

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

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ ( 24 )

Then let mankind look at his food -

أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا ( 25 )

How We poured down water in torrents,

ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا ( 26 )

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

فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا ( 27 )

And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا ( 28 )

And grapes and herbage

وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا ( 29 )

And olive and palm trees

وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا ( 30 )

And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا ( 31 )

And fruit and grass -

مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ( 32 )

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ ( 33 )

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ( 34 )

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ ( 35 )

And his mother and his father

وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ ( 36 )

And his wife and his children,

لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ( 37 )

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

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ( 38 )

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

ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ( 39 )

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ( 40 )

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

تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ( 41 )

Blackness will cover them.

أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ ( 42 )

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.

Hell: a vision from withinAllah has granted humankind certain span of life in this world and with it the ability to think and then decide their course in this life. After that, everyone will die and be buried. Then all of Allah's creation will be brought back to life on the Day of Judgment. Those who did well on the earth will be rewarded with Heaven/Paradise, but those who were unfortunate (i.e., the wrongdoers) will be sent to Hell. Heaven is the abode of enjoyment, which Allah prepared for the righteous and Hell is the abode for penalty or torment, which He set up for the disbelievers. This book shows Hell from inside based on the authentic Hadeeths.

The Shiites And Al-Aqsa MosquePerhaps some people will disapprove that we write about the position that Aqsa Mosque occupies in the hearts of the Muslims and in the Sharee’ah of Islam. For, the sanctity of Al-Aqsa mosque is an incontestable fact among the Muslims and the position it occupies does not need any further explanation. The merits of this mosque are established by explicit texts from the Qur’an and the Sunnah and the consensus of the Muslims. However, we are sure that the reader of this book will excuse us for the facts we are going to reveal, and realize how much we have been deceived by some people who claim to support Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Land of Israa and to defend the oppressed Palestinian people and their sacred sites. Therefore, it is very pertinent to rise up in defence of Al-Aqsa Mosque and to call attention to the fact that the Shiite books and their authorized sources, which they wrote with their own hands, indicate that they have no regard or recognition for Al-Aqsa Mosque in its present location and that, according to them. They also hold that ‘real Al-Aqsa mosque’ is in the Heaven and that majority of people mistakenly believe that it is the mosque that is in Palestine!! We have tried to not leave out those claims without refutations that show their falsity. This is a contribution we can make to reveal the truth so that all the Muslims will be aware of the enormity of the deception and fraud of those folks. Through research and exhaustive study, we have affirmed that all those Jews and orientalists who have attempted to cast doubt on the position of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque relied heavily, in support their vicious claims, on Shiite sources. They thereby used these sources as a weapon against foundations of our Ummah with an aim to shaken the position of Al-Aqsa Mosque in our hearts. We deem it suitable to point it out here that our goal is to unite the ranks of this Ummah to support our sacred sites and to love those individuals whom Allah used to win these places for Islam. We also intend to block the way in the face of these Jewish ‘professors’ and orientalists who find in the Shiite books, a ready tool for weakening the position that Al-Aqsa Mosque occupies in the hearts of the Muslims. As such, those dubious narrations whose goal is to cast doubt on the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque must be meticulously scrutinized and the sanctity of that mosque must be proved through argument and authentic evidences.

The Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-WahhaabThe Life, Teachings and Influence of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab: This book is not one with a political agenda. It is meant neither to support nor to critique any contemporary regimes or policies. Indeed, the driving force behind this work is much greater and more important than that. It has to do with, first, the religion of Islam as preached by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself and, second, with the honor and rights of an individual Muslim, Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhaab.

The Basic Rulings and Principles of Fiqh, and the Beneficial and Eloquent Classifications and DifferentiationsIn this book, Dr. Saleh As-Saleh explains only seven foundations out of sixty mentioned in the book of Sh. Abder-Rahman As-Se'di "The Basic Rulings and Principles, and the Beneficial and Eloquent Classifications and Differentiations". The importance of this book stems from the nature of its content. This is because the scholars of Islam gave great importance to the study of the basic rulings and principles of fiqh so that they are able to encompass the various cases and refer these cases to the basic rulings and principles in order to deduct and apply the judgment in a comprehensive, yet precise manner.
