He Frowned ('Abasa)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ HE FROWNED AND turned away, 1 Because the blind man came unto him. 2 What made you think that he will not grow in virtue, 3 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? 4 For him who does not care, 5 you eagerly attended to him -- 6 What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah). 7 but as for him who came unto thee full of eagerness 8 And is also fearful (of God), 9 you ignore him. 10 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction: 11 and so, whoever is willing may remember Him 12 It is set down on honoured pages, 13 Exalted, Purified, 14 In the hands of scribes (angels). 15 Honourable and Pious and Just. 16 Accursed is man. How ungrateful is he! 17 From what has God created him? 18 From a drop of liquid; He created him and then set several measures for him. 19 and made the path of guidance easy for him to follow. 20 then causes him to die and buries him, 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 Certainly, he has not duly fulfilled His commands. 23 Let man, then, consider [the sources of] his food: 24 For that We pour forth water in abundance, 25 Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts, 26 And We made corn grow, 27 And grapes and green fodder 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 And gardens, dense with many trees, 30 fruits, and grass. 31 for you and for your animals to enjoy. 32 But when the Shout cometh 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 and from his spouse and his children: 36 For every one of them on that Day shall be business enough to occupy 37 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, 38 laughing, rejoicing at glad tidings. 39 And many will be dust-begrimed, 40 Covered with the blackness (of shame): 41 It is they, the disbelievers, the sinners. 42
