He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came unto him a blind man. 2 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) 3 or he might be mindful and good counsel might avail him. 4 As for he who thinks himself without need, 5 To him you attend; 6 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified. 7 As for the one who comes to you earnestly (striving for guidance). 8 And is also fearful (of God), 9 From him will you divert yourself. 10 Assuredly this is a reminder 11 Let him who will, pay heed to it. 12 It is contained in scrolls highly honoured, 13 Exalted and purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 Who are noble, virtuous. 16 Perish Man! How unthankful he is! 17 From what substance did He create him? 18 Out of a sperm-drop did He create him and then determined a measure for him, 19 He makes his path easy for him. 20 then makes him to die, and buries him, 21 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him. 22 Not one – he has not yet completed what he was commanded. 23 Let Man consider his nourishment. 24 We poured out the rains abundantly, 25 and let the earth to break open 26 And We cause therein the grain to grow, 27 together with grapes and vegetables, 28 And olive and palm trees 29 And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees, 30 and fruit and pastures, 31 for you and for your animals to enjoy. 32 And when the Blast shall sound, 33 on that Day a man shall flee from his own brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). 37 Some faces on that Day shall be beaming with happiness, 38 laughing, and rejoicing, 39 but some faces will be covered with dust 40 Darkness shall cover them. 41 They will be the unbelievers, transgressors. 42
