He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 when the blind man approached him, 2 You never know. Perhaps he wanted to purify himself, 3 or receive some (Quranic) advice which would benefit him. 4 Now as for him who believes himself to be self-sufficient 5 Unto him thou payest regard. 6 Whereas it is not on thee that he is not cleansed. 7 but as for him who came unto thee full of eagerness 8 And he fears, 9 him didst thou disregard! 10 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction: 11 Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance. 12 (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour, 13 Exalted and holy, 14 [borne] by the hands of messengers 15 Honourable and Pious and Just. 16 May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve? 17 [Does man ever consider] out of what substance [God] creates him? 18 He created him from a living germ. He determined his fate 19 Then doth He make His path smooth for him; 20 Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him. 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 Yet man declines to do His bidding. 23 Let Man consider his nourishment. 24 For that We pour forth water in abundance, 25 and then We cleaved the earth asunder. 26 And cause the grain to grow therein 27 And grapes and clover, 28 And the olive and the palm, 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 and fruit and pastures, 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 But when the deafening cry shall be sounded 33 it will be such a day when a person will run away from his brother, 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 As well as his wife and children. 36 Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him. 37 [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright - 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). 39 but some faces will be covered with dust 40 and veiled with darkness. 41 these, these will be the ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity! 42
