He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 Because there came unto him a blind man. 2 And what should teach thee? Perchance he would cleanse him, 3 or receive some (Quranic) advice which would benefit him. 4 For him who does not care, 5 Unto him thou payest regard. 6 Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding). 7 But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose 8 and fearfully, 9 you pay no heed to him. 10 Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition, 11 So whoever wishes may remember it. 12 On honourable pages. 13 Exalted (in dignity), purified, 14 (Set down) by scribes 15 Noble, virtuous. 16 Accursed is man. How ungrateful is he! 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 From a drop of liquid; He created him and then set several measures for him. 19 and then made the course of life easy for him, 20 then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave, 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. 23 Let man reflect on the food he eats. 24 For that We pour forth water in abundance, 25 Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts, 26 how We made the grain to grow, 27 and grape vines and vegetables, 28 And Olives and Dates, 29 thickly planted gardens, 30 and fruits and herbage, 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 AND SO, when the piercing call [of resurrection] is heard 33 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, 34 and his mother and his father; 35 As well as his wife and children. 36 on that Day, to every one of them will his own state be of sufficient concern. 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 And many will be dust-begrimed, 40 o'erspread with darkness -- 41 Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him), etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers). 42
