He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, 1 because the blind man approached him! 2 You never know. Perhaps he wanted to purify himself, 3 Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him? 4 As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient, 5 you eagerly attended to him -- 6 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). 7 But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge] 8 And is also fearful (of God), 9 Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another, 10 No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder; 11 So let him who pleases mind it. 12 (This Quran) is also recorded in honorable books, 13 uplifted, purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 Honourable and obedient. 16 Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth. 17 Of what substance God created him? 18 From a drop of liquid; He created him and then set several measures for him. 19 then the way eased for him, 20 Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 Certainly, he has not duly fulfilled His commands. 23 Let man look at his food: 24 How We poured down water in torrents, 25 Then split the earth in clefts 26 Then We cause to grow therein the grain, 27 And grapes and clover, 28 and olive trees and date palms 29 and dense orchards, 30 And fruits and grass, 31 In order to benefit you and your cattle. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, 34 And his mother and his father 35 his wife and his sons: 36 Everyone on that Day will have affairs to keep him occupied. 37 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 38 laughing and joyous 39 And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them, 40 and overcast with gloom: 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
