He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came unto him a blind man. 2 And what would make you know that he would purify himself, 3 or take heed and derive benefit from [Our] warning? 4 Now as for him who believes himself to be self-sufficient 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 And he who comes to thee eagerly 8 And he fears, 9 From him you are distracted. 10 Assuredly this is a reminder 11 So let whosoever will pay heed to it, 12 upon highly honored pages, 13 Exalted, purified, 14 (Set down) by scribes 15 Noble, virtuous. 16 May man be slain – how ungrateful he is! 17 Of what did He create him? 18 Of a drop of seed. He created him and formed him according to a measure. 19 then the way eased for him, 20 Then He caused him to die and made him to be buried. 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him. 23 Let the human being think about (how We produce) his food. 24 We send down abundant water, 25 Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, 26 and thereupon We cause grain to grow out of it, 27 grapes, vegetables, 28 and the olive, and the palm, 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder,- 31 In order to benefit you and your cattle. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 on a Day when everyone will [want to] flee from his brother, 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 And his wife and his children, 36 Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him. 37 Some faces that Day will be beaming, 38 laughing, joyous; 39 And faces on that Day! upon them shall be gloom. 40 Covered with the blackness (of shame): 41 These will be the faces of the sinful disbelievers. 42
