He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because a blind man came to him. 2 But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified 3 or yet remember, and the Reminder profit him. 4 Now he who waxes indifferent, 5 Unto him thou attendest. 6 Though it is not your concern if he should not grow (in fulness). 7 But he who comes to you running, 8 And is also fearful (of God), 9 you pay him no heed. 10 No indeed; this is only a Reminder. 11 and so, whoever is willing may remember Him 12 (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz). 13 Exalted and purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 Noble and righteous. 16 Perish the human! How unthankful he is! 17 From what thing did He create him? 18 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, 19 and made the path of guidance easy for him to follow. 20 then causes him to die and buries him, 21 Then when He listeth, He shall raise him to life. 22 Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. 23 Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it): 24 We send down abundant water, 25 and then We cleaved the earth asunder. 26 And We cause therein the grain to grow, 27 And grapes and herbage, 28 Olives and dates, 29 And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees, 30 And fruits and herbage 31 A provision for you and for your cattle. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 upon the day when a man shall flee from his brother, 34 and his mother and his father; 35 wife and sons, 36 Everyone on that Day will have affairs to keep him occupied. 37 Some faces on that day will be radiant, 38 laughing, rejoicing at glad tidings. 39 whereas some faces will be covered with dust 40 and veiled with darkness. 41 These will be the unbelievers, the wicked. 42
