He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, 1 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]. 2 And what could let you know? Perhaps he (comes to hear you) to be purified. 3 Or be admonished, so that the admonition might have profited him? 4 As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, 5 Unto him thou attendest. 6 though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself. 7 But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose 8 And with fear (in his heart), 9 From him will you divert yourself. 10 Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition, 11 So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. 12 On honoured leaves 13 lofty and pure, 14 borne by the hands of scribes, 15 noble and pious. 16 May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve? 17 Of what did He create him? 18 From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him; 19 Then He makes the Path easy for him; 20 Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him. 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 Nay; but he has not done what He bade him. 23 Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food. 24 We send down abundant water, 25 and then We cleave the earth [with new growth,] cleaving it asunder, 26 And produce therein corn, 27 And grapes and herbage 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 And gardens of dense shrubbery 30 and fruits and herbage, 31 In order to benefit you and your cattle. 32 But, when the Blast comes, 33 on that Day each person will flee from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father 35 his consort, his sons, 36 For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him. 37 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, 38 and be cheerful and joyous. 39 And many a face will be covered with dust on that day. 40 Blackness will cover them. 41 those will be ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity. 42
