He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]. 2 What made you think that he will not grow in virtue, 3 or receive some (Quranic) advice which would benefit him. 4 For him who does not care, 5 So you are after him! 6 What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah). 7 As for the one who comes to you earnestly (striving for guidance). 8 And hath fear, 9 to him thou payest no heed. 10 No indeed, this is a Reminder; 11 So let whosoever will pay heed to it, 12 In honored books, 13 Exalted (in dignity), purified, 14 In the hands of scribes 15 noble and pious. 16 May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve? 17 From what stuff hath He created him? 18 Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, 19 Then made his passage easy (at birth); 20 Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; 21 and then, if it be His will, He shall raise him again to life, 22 Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him! 23 So let man just consider his food: 24 That We watered it in abundance. 25 Then We split the earth properly. 26 And caused to grow within it grain 27 And grapes and herbage 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 And thick gardens, 30 and fruits and herbage, 31 for you and for your animals to enjoy. 32 AND SO, when the piercing call [of resurrection] is heard 33 On the Day whereon a man shall flee from his brother, 34 his mother, his father, 35 and his consort and his children; 36 On that day, each one has just one issue, which is enough for him. 37 Some faces will shine, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 but others will be gloomy 40 and overcast with gloom: 41 Those! they are the infidels, the ungodly. 42
