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 that the blind man came to him. 2 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) 3 Or that he may accept advice, so the advice may benefit him. 4 As for him who is not in want of any thing, 5 So you are after him! 6 although it is not for you to be concerned if he remained unpurified. 7 And for him who came to you striving, 8 and who has fear of God, 9 Of him wast thou unmindful. 10 Assuredly this is a reminder 11 So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. 12 It is contained in scrolls highly honoured, 13 exalted and purified, 14 [borne] by the hands of messengers 15 Honourable and obedient. 16 Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful! 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 Out of a sperm-drop did He create him and then determined a measure for him, 19 Then eased the way for him. 20 then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave, 21 and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life. 22 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him. 23 Let man reflect on the food he eats. 24 We poured water, pouring it in great abundance, 25 and then We cleave the earth [with new growth,] cleaving it asunder, 26 Then We cause to grow therein the grain, 27 grapes, vegetables, 28 And olive-trees and palm-trees 29 Orchards thick with trees, 30 And fruit and grass - 31 for you and for your animals to enjoy. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 On the Day whereon a man shall flee from his brother, 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 his wife and his sons: 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 Many a face will be glittering on that day. 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news. 39 And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them, 40 Covered with the blackness (of shame): 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
