He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ HE FROWNED AND turned away, 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 You never know. Perhaps he wanted to purify himself, 3 or take heed and derive benefit from [Our] warning? 4 As for him who considers himself free from need (of you), 5 you attended to him, 6 And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself 7 And to him who came to you eagerly 8 And is also fearful (of God), 9 You neglect. 10 Assuredly this is a reminder 11 So let him who pleases mind it. 12 (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz). 13 exalted, purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 Honourable and obedient. 16 Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! 17 From what thing did He create him? 18 Out of a drop of sperm! He creates and proportions him, 19 then the way eased for him, 20 He will then send him to death and have him laid in the grave. 21 then, He will raise him when He wills. 22 Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him! 23 Let man, then, consider [the sources of] his food: 24 We poured out the rains abundantly, 25 And We split the earth in fragments, 26 and therein made the grains to grow 27 And grapes and vegetables 28 and olive trees and date palms 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder,- 31 all this as a provision for you and your cattle. 32 Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrection's second blowing of Trumpet), 33 On the Day a man will flee from his brother 34 his mother and his father, 35 And his wife and his children, 36 every man that day shall have business to suffice him. 37 Some faces that Day, will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism). 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 Some faces on that Day shall be dust-ridden, 40 Dust shall cover them 41 Those, they are the unbelievers, the immoral. 42
