He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]. 2 What made you think that he will not grow in virtue, 3 Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him? 4 As for him who thinketh himself independent, 5 Unto him thou attendest. 6 though you are not to be blamed if he would not purify himself -- 7 And as to him who comes to you striving hard, 8 and fears (Allah), 9 of him you were unmindful. 10 By no means! Verily it is an admonition. 11 So whoso wills may give heed to it. 12 (This Quran) is also recorded in honorable books, 13 Exalted (in dignity), purified, 14 In the hands of scribes (angels). 15 Honourable and Pious and Just. 16 Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth. 17 Of what did He create him? 18 Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, 19 then the way eased for him, 20 then causes him to die and buries him, 21 Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again. 22 Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him. 23 Let man look at his food: 24 That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, 25 then We split the earth in fissures 26 Thereby produced grain in it. 27 together with grapes and vegetables, 28 And olives and palms 29 And dense gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 In order to benefit you and your cattle. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 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, joyous. 39 some faces on that day shall be dusty 40 Veiled in darkness, 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
