He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because a blind man came to him. 2 But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- 3 Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? 4 As for him who is not in want of any thing, 5 you eagerly attended to him -- 6 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified. 7 And as to him who comes to you striving hard, 8 And whereas he fears, 9 You neglect. 10 Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition, 11 and so, whoever is willing may remember Him 12 upon highly honored pages, 13 uplifted, purified, 14 [borne] by the hands of messengers 15 Noble, virtuous. 16 [But only too often] man destroys himself: how stubbornly does he deny the truth! 17 From what has God created him? 18 From a drop of liquid; He created him and then set several measures for him. 19 Then He makes the Path easy for him; 20 Then gave him death, so had him put in the grave. 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him. 23 Then let man look at his food, 24 That We watered it in abundance. 25 and cleaved the earth, cleaving it asunder; 26 how We made the grain to grow, 27 and grape vines and vegetables, 28 And olive and palm trees 29 And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees, 30 and fruits and pastures – 31 [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 On the Day a man will flee from his brother 34 and from his mother and father, 35 And from his wife and his children. 36 For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him. 37 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 And some faces will on that Day with dust be covered, 40 and overcast with gloom: 41 Those! they are the infidels, the ungodly. 42
