He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 because the blind man approached him! 2 And what would make you know that he would purify himself, 3 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? 4 As for he who is sufficed 5 you attend to him, 6 although it is not for you to be concerned if he remained unpurified. 7 But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly, 8 and in awe of God 9 So you leave him, and are engrossed elsewhere! 10 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, 11 and whosoever wills, shall remember it. 12 upon pages high-honoured, 13 exalted, purified, 14 [borne] by the hands of messengers 15 noble and purified. 16 May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve? 17 From what stuff hath He created him? 18 Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, 19 and then made the course of life easy for him, 20 Then gave him death, so had him put in the grave. 21 and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life. 22 But no. He has not fulfilled what was enjoined on him. 23 Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food. 24 We send down abundant water, 25 and let the earth to break open 26 And We made corn grow, 27 And grapes and clover, 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 And garden-closes of thick foliage 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 for you and for your herds to delight in. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 upon the day when a man shall flee from his brother, 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 his wife and his children. 36 Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him. 37 Some faces on that day shall shine 38 laughing and joyous 39 And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them, 40 o'erspread with darkness -- 41 Those! they are the infidels, the ungodly. 42
