He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 How could you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself, 3 (He might) remember, and the Reminder might profit him. 4 But the self-sufficient, 5 To him you give attention. 6 though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself. 7 As for him who comes to you striving (after goodness), 8 and fearfully, 9 you pay him no heed. 10 By no means! Verily it is an admonition. 11 (and whoso wills, shall remember it) 12 On honoured leaves 13 most exalted and purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 Honourable and Pious and Just. 16 Perish man! how ungrateful he is! 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, 19 and made the path of guidance easy for him to follow. 20 Then He causes him to die and be buried. 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 Indeed, he has not fulfilled that which He has ordered him. 23 Then let mankind look at his food - 24 We poured out the rains abundantly, 25 And We split the earth in clefts, 26 We make the grain grow out of it, 27 and vines and edible plants, 28 And olives and palms 29 And gardens of dense shrubbery 30 fruits, and grass. 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 But when the deafening cry shall be sounded 33 on a Day when everyone will [want to] flee from his brother, 34 his mother, his father, 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 For every one of them on that Day shall be business enough to occupy 37 Some faces that Day will be beaming, 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). 39 And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained; 40 and veiled with darkness. 41 These will be the unbelievers, the wicked. 42
