He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 because the blind man approached him! 2 And what do you know, he may be of the pure! 3 or have been reminded [of the truth,] and helped by this reminder. 4 But the self-sufficient, 5 To him you attend; 6 though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself. 7 And for him who came to you striving, 8 and who has fear of God, 9 of him you were unmindful. 10 These verses are a reminder 11 and whosoever wills, shall remember it. 12 (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz). 13 Exalted (in dignity), purified, 14 In the hands of scribes (angels). 15 Noble and pious. 16 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he. 17 Out of what did Allah create him? 18 Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, 19 then eased his path for him, 20 He will then send him to death and have him laid in the grave. 21 and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life. 22 Nay, but man did not fulfil what Allah had enjoined upon him. 23 Let man reflect on the food he eats. 24 That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, 25 Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts, 26 And cause the grain to grow therein 27 grapes, vegetables, 28 and olive trees and date palms 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 and fruit and pastures, 31 For use and convenience to you and your cattle. 32 But, when the Blast comes, 33 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 and from his spouse and his children: 36 on that Day each will be occupied with his own business, making him oblivious of all save himself. 37 On that day faces will be bright as dawn, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust. 40 Blackness overcoming them. 41 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones. 42
