He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, 1 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]. 2 But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? 3 Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him? 4 As for he who is sufficed 5 So you are after him! 6 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). 7 But he who comes to you running, 8 And whereas he fears, 9 to him thou payest no heed. 10 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, 11 So whoso wills may give heed to it. 12 It is set down on honoured pages, 13 Exalted and holy, 14 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, 15 Noble, virtuous. 16 Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah; 17 From what thing did He create him? 18 From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion; 19 Then made his passage easy (at birth); 20 Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him. 21 Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again. 22 Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him! 23 Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food. 24 That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, 25 Then split the earth in clefts 26 Thereby produced grain in it. 27 And grapes and green fodder 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 And dense gardens, 30 and fruits and fodder 31 for you and for your herds to delight in. 32 So when the deafening Shout arrives, 33 it will be such a day when a person will run away from his brother, 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others. 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news. 39 And faces on that Day! upon them shall be gloom. 40 Blackness will cover them: 41 These will be the faces of the sinful disbelievers. 42
