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 the blind man came unto him. 2 How canst thou know, whether haply he might be cleansed, 3 Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him? 4 Yet you pay attention 5 to him thou attendest 6 though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself. 7 but as for him who came unto thee full of eagerness 8 And he fears, 9 From him you are distracted. 10 Indeed, this [Quran] is an admonition. 11 Let him who will, pay heed to it. 12 (This Quran) is also recorded in honorable books, 13 Exalted (in dignity), purified, 14 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, 15 noble, pious. 16 Perish man! how ungrateful he is! 17 [Does man ever consider] out of what substance [God] creates him? 18 From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him; 19 and then makes it easy for him to go through life; 20 Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 Not one – he has not yet completed what he was commanded. 23 Let man look at his food: 24 We let the rain pour down in torrents 25 and let the earth to break open 26 And caused to grow within it grain 27 grapes, and fresh fodder, 28 And olives and date palms, 29 And gardens, dense with many trees, 30 and fruits and herbage, 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 But when the deafening cry shall be sounded 33 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 And his wife and his children, 36 on that Day each will be occupied with his own business, making him oblivious of all save himself. 37 Some faces will shine, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 whereas some faces will be covered with dust 40 Blackness will cover them: 41 those will be ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity. 42
