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 And what would make you know that he would purify himself, 3 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? 4 As for he who thinks himself without need, 5 To him you attend; 6 Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding). 7 And he who comes to thee eagerly 8 And he feareth 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 No indeed; this is only a Reminder. 11 So let whosoever will pay heed to it, 12 [It is recorded] in honored sheets, 13 exalted, purified, 14 (Written) by the hands of scribes- 15 Noble, virtuous. 16 Perish man! how ungrateful he is! 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 and made the path of guidance easy for him to follow. 20 Then He caused him to die and made him to be buried. 21 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him. 22 Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him. 23 Let man consider his food: 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts], 26 to yield therein corn, 27 and grape vines and vegetables, 28 And Olives and Dates, 29 and burgeoning enclosed gardens 30 And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.), 31 (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 On the Day whereon a man shall flee from his brother, 34 and his mother and his father; 35 and his consort and his children; 36 Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of others. 37 Some faces on that day will be radiant, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 And many a face will be covered with dust on that day. 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
