He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 How could you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself, 3 Or that he may accept advice, so the advice may benefit him. 4 As for him who was indifferent, 5 So you are after him! 6 though it is not thy concern, if he does not cleanse himself. 7 but as for one who comes to you, eagerly 8 and in awe [of God] 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 Indeed, this [Quran] is an admonition. 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 in [the light of His] revelations blest with dignity, 13 exalted and purified, 14 In the hands of scribes 15 noble, pious. 16 Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! 17 From what stuff hath He created him? 18 From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion; 19 Then He eased the way for him; 20 then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave, 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 Certainly, he has not duly fulfilled His commands. 23 Then let man look at his food, 24 That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, 25 Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, 26 how We made the grain to grow, 27 and vines, and reeds, 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 thickly planted gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 an enjoyment for you and your flocks. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 upon the day when a man shall flee from his brother, 34 and his mother and his father; 35 And his wife and his children, 36 Everyone on that Day will have affairs to keep him occupied. 37 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 38 and be cheerful and joyous. 39 And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained; 40 o'erspread with darkness -- 41 They will be the unbelievers, transgressors. 42
