He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and then turned away 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 And what would make you know that he would purify himself, 3 or receive some (Quranic) advice which would benefit him. 4 Yet you pay attention 5 To him you give attention. 6 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). 7 But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge] 8 And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), 9 So you leave him, and are engrossed elsewhere! 10 These verses are a reminder 11 So whoever wishes may remember it. 12 upon pages high-honoured, 13 Exalted, pure. 14 by the hands of the noble, virtuous, 15 noble and pious. 16 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he. 17 From what thing doth He create him? 18 From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion; 19 and made the path of guidance easy for him to follow. 20 then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave, 21 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him. 22 Nay, but man did not fulfil what Allah had enjoined upon him. 23 So man must look at his food. 24 [how it is] that We pour down water, pouring it down abundantly; 25 Then split the earth in clefts 26 Then We cause to grow therein the grain, 27 And grapes and fodder, 28 And olives and date palms, 29 And gardens of dense shrubbery 30 and fruits and fodder 31 for you and for your herds to delight in. 32 At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,- 33 The day on which a man shall fly from his brother, 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 and from his spouse and his children: 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 Some faces on that day will be radiant, 38 laughing, rejoicing at glad tidings. 39 And some faces will on that Day with dust be covered, 40 Dust shall cover them 41 those will be ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity. 42
