He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 And what should teach thee? Perchance he would cleanse him, 3 Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him? 4 As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient, 5 To him you attend; 6 although it is not for you to be concerned if he remained unpurified. 7 As for the one who comes to you earnestly (striving for guidance). 8 and fearfully, 9 So you leave him, and are engrossed elsewhere! 10 No indeed; this is only a Reminder. 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour, 13 exalted, purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 Who are noble, virtuous. 16 May man be slain – how ungrateful he is! 17 From what did He create him? 18 From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions; 19 Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him) 20 Then He caused him to die and be buried 21 Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again). 22 Yet man declines to do His bidding. 23 Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food. 24 how We pour down rain in abundance, 25 and split the earth, splitting, 26 to yield therein corn, 27 And grapes and herbage, 28 and olive trees and date palms 29 and dense orchards, 30 and fruits, and pastures, 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrection's second blowing of Trumpet), 33 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, 34 and his mother and his father; 35 and his consort and his children; 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 laughing, and rejoicing, 39 And faces on that Day! upon them shall be gloom. 40 Blackness will cover them. 41 Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity. 42
