He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man. 2 How canst thou know, whether haply he might be cleansed, 3 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? 4 As for him who regardeth himself self-sufficient 5 So you are after him! 6 Though it is not your concern if he should not grow (in fulness). 7 And for him who came to you striving, 8 And is also fearful (of God), 9 So you leave him, and are engrossed elsewhere! 10 NAY, VERILY, these [messages] are but a reminder: 11 So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. 12 On honoured leaves 13 uplifted, purified, 14 (Written) by the hands of scribes- 15 noble and purified. 16 Woe to man! How ungrateful he is! 17 From what did He create him? 18 From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him; 19 then eased his path for him, 20 Then He caused him to die and made him to be buried. 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 Indeed, he has not fulfilled that which He has ordered him. 23 Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it): 24 We poured out the rains abundantly, 25 and let the earth to break open 26 and therein made the grains to grow 27 And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle), 28 And olives and date palms, 29 thickly planted gardens, 30 fruits, and grass. 31 A provision for you and for your cattle. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 On the Day whereon a man shall flee from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 wife and sons, 36 Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others. 37 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 but some faces will be covered with dust 40 and overcast with gloom: 41 Those, they are the unbelievers, the immoral. 42
