He Frowned ('Abasa)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man. 2 And what do you know, he may be of the pure! 3 or yet remember, and the Reminder profit him. 4 Yet you pay attention 5 So you are after him! 6 though you are not to be blamed if he would not purify himself -- 7 But he who comes to you running, 8 and fears (Allah), 9 to him thou payest no heed. 10 No indeed, this is a Reminder; 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 in [the light of His] revelations blest with dignity, 13 exalted, purified, 14 by the hands of the noble, virtuous, 15 Noble, virtuous. 16 May man be slain – how ungrateful he is! 17 From what stuff hath He created him? 18 Out of a drop of sperm He creates him, and thereupon determines his nature, 19 Then made his passage easy (at birth); 20 Then He caused him to die and be buried 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. 23 So let man just consider his food: 24 [how it is] that We pour down water, pouring it down abundantly; 25 and then We cleaved the earth asunder. 26 Then We cause to grow therein the grain, 27 And grapes and herbage, 28 Olives and dates, 29 And thick gardens, 30 And fruits and grasses: 31 [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 on a Day when everyone will [want to] flee from his 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 will be radiant, 38 laughing, and rejoicing, 39 Some faces on that Day shall be dust-ridden, 40 and veiled with darkness. 41 It is they, the disbelievers, the sinners. 42
