He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- 3 Or that he may accept advice, so the advice may benefit him. 4 As for him who regardeth himself self-sufficient 5 you attend to him, 6 although it is not for you to be concerned if he remained unpurified. 7 but as for one who comes to you, eagerly 8 and fearfully, 9 From him thou art distracted. 10 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, 11 So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. 12 [It is recorded] in honored sheets, 13 Exalted, pure. 14 Written by the hands of emissaries. 15 Noble and pious. 16 Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth. 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 maketh the way easy for him, 20 Then He caused him to die and be buried 21 and then, if it be His will, He shall raise him again to life, 22 Nay, but man did not fulfil what Allah had enjoined upon him. 23 So let man just consider his food: 24 It is We Who pour forth water, pouring, 25 Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts, 26 how We made the grain to grow, 27 grapes, vegetables, 28 And the olive and the palm, 29 And gardens, dense with many trees, 30 And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.), 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrection's second blowing of Trumpet), 33 On the Day a man will flee from his brother 34 And his mother and his father, 35 And from his wife and sons. 36 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). 37 Many a face will be glittering on that day. 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust. 40 Blackness will cover them: 41 These will be the unbelievers, the wicked. 42
