He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 because the blind man approached him! 2 But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- 3 Or be admonished, and the admonition profit him? 4 For him who does not care, 5 To him you give attention. 6 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). 7 But as to him who came to you running. 8 and in awe of God 9 Of him wast thou unmindful. 10 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, 11 Let him who will, pay heed to it. 12 (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour, 13 Exalted, pure. 14 by the hands of the noble, virtuous, 15 noble and virtuous scribes. 16 Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! 17 From what substance did He create him? 18 Of a sperm-drop He created him, and determined him, 19 He makes his path easy for him. 20 then causes him to die and buries him, 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. 23 Let man, then, consider [the sources of] his food: 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Then We cracked the earth open under pressure of germination 26 Then We cause therein the grain to grow, 27 and vines, and reeds, 28 olives, dates, 29 And enclosed gardens luxuriant. 30 fruits, and grass. 31 as provision for you and for your cattle to enjoy. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 and his mother and his father; 35 And from his wife and his children. 36 on that Day each will be occupied with his own business, making him oblivious of all save himself. 37 On that day faces will be bright as dawn, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 And faces on that Day! upon them shall be gloom. 40 Blackness will cover them. 41 those -- they are the unbelievers, the libertines. 42
