He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ HE FROWNED and turned away 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) 3 Or that he may accept advice, so the advice may benefit him. 4 For him who does not care, 5 to him thou attendest 6 Whereas it is not on thee that he is not cleansed. 7 but as for him who came unto thee full of eagerness 8 And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), 9 of him you were unmindful. 10 No indeed; this is only a Reminder. 11 so let those who want to follow its guidance do so. 12 (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour, 13 Exalted, purified, 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 Honourable and obedient. 16 Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! 17 From what has God created 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 Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him. 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him. 23 Let man look at his food: 24 That We pour forth water in abundance, 25 And We split the earth in clefts, 26 And We made corn grow, 27 and vines and edible plants, 28 And olives and date palms, 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder,- 31 For use and convenience to you and your cattle. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 it will be such a day when a person will run away from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 his wife and his sons: 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 And some faces will on that Day with dust be covered, 40 with darkness overspread: 41 these, these will be the ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity! 42
