He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ HE FROWNED and turned away 1 Because there came unto him a blind man. 2 And what could let you know? Perhaps he (comes to hear you) to be purified. 3 Or be admonished, and the admonition profit him? 4 As for him who considers himself free from need (of you), 5 to him didst thou give thy whole attention, 6 Whereas it is not on thee that he is not cleansed. 7 But he who comes to you running, 8 While he fears [Allah], 9 Of him wast thou unmindful. 10 Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition, 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 On honoured leaves 13 Exalted, pure. 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 Honourable and Virtuous. 16 Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth. 17 Of what did He create him? 18 Out of a sperm-drop did He create him and then determined a measure for him, 19 then eased his path for him, 20 and in the end He causes him to die and brings him to the grave; 21 and He will resurrect him whenever He wants. 22 Not one – he has not yet completed what he was commanded. 23 Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food. 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Then split the earth in clefts 26 and therein made the grains to grow 27 And grapes and fodder, 28 And olive and palm trees 29 and burgeoning enclosed gardens 30 and fruits and fodder 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 But, when the Blast comes, 33 The day on which a man shall fly from his brother, 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 And from his wife and sons. 36 on that Day, to every one of them will his own state be of sufficient concern. 37 Faces on that Day shall be beaming, 38 laughing, joyous; 39 And faces on that Day! upon them shall be gloom. 40 and veiled with darkness. 41 These will be the unbelievers, the wicked. 42
