He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ (The Prophet) frowned and turned away, 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 How could you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself, 3 or have been reminded [of the truth,] and helped by this reminder. 4 As for him who considers himself free from need (of you), 5 To him you give attention. 6 Whereas it is not on thee that he is not cleansed. 7 As for the one who comes to you earnestly (striving for guidance). 8 And is also fearful (of God), 9 Of him wast thou unmindful. 10 No indeed, this is a Reminder; 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 In honored books, 13 Exalted and purified, 14 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, 15 Noble and pious. 16 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he. 17 From what did He create him? 18 Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, 19 Then eased the way for him. 20 Then He caused him to die and made him to be buried. 21 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. 22 No indeed! Man has not accomplished His bidding. 23 So let man just consider his food: 24 We send down abundant water, 25 and split the earth, splitting, 26 Then We cause therein the grain to grow, 27 and grape vines and vegetables, 28 and olives, and palms, 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 for you and for your herds to delight in. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 On the Day a man will flee from his brother 34 And his mother and his father, 35 As well as his wife and children. 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 Some faces that Day will be beaming, 38 laughing, and rejoicing, 39 And some faces will on that Day with dust be covered, 40 with darkness overspread: 41 Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity. 42
