He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? 3 or have been reminded [of the truth,] and helped by this reminder. 4 As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, 5 To him you give attention. 6 Whereas it is not on thee that he is not cleansed. 7 And he who comes to thee eagerly 8 While he fears [Allah], 9 you pay him no heed. 10 No indeed, this is a Reminder; 11 So whoso wills may give heed to it. 12 upon highly honored pages, 13 most exalted and purified, 14 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, 15 noble and pious. 16 Accursed is man. How ungrateful is he! 17 From what thing doth He create him? 18 Out of a drop of sperm He creates him, and thereupon determines his nature, 19 Then the way He made easy. 20 Then He causes him to die and be buried. 21 and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life. 22 Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him! 23 Then let man look to his food, 24 It is We Who pour forth water, pouring, 25 then We split the earth in fissures 26 then caused the grain to grow out of it, 27 grapes, vegetables, 28 and olives and palms, 29 and gardens dense with foliage, 30 and fruits, and pastures, 31 for you and for your animals to enjoy. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother 34 And his mother and his father, 35 his consort, his sons, 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 Some faces that Day will be beaming, 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). 39 And many will be dust-begrimed, 40 enveloped by darkness. 41 Those, they are the unbelievers, the immoral. 42
