He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ HE FROWNED and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man. 2 And what would make you know that he would purify himself, 3 Or that he may accept advice, so the advice may benefit him. 4 As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient, 5 to him didst thou give thy whole attention, 6 Though it is not your concern if he should not grow (in fulness). 7 but as for one who comes to you, eagerly 8 While he fears [Allah], 9 you pay him no heed. 10 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction: 11 and whosoever wills, shall remember it. 12 upon highly honored pages, 13 Exalted, purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 noble and pious. 16 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he. 17 From what substance did He create him? 18 Out of a drop of sperm! He creates and proportions him, 19 Then He makes the Path easy for him; 20 Then gave him death, so had him put in the grave. 21 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him. 22 By no means he performed not that which He had commanded him. 23 Let the human reflect on the food he eats, 24 That We watered it in abundance. 25 Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts, 26 And We cause therein the grain to grow, 27 and vines, and reeds, 28 and olives and palms, 29 Orchards thick with trees, 30 and fruits and fodder 31 for you and for your animals to enjoy. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 That Day shall a man flee from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 his consort, his sons, 36 every man that day shall have business to suffice him. 37 Some faces on that day shall shine 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). 39 And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust, 40 Blackness will cover them. 41 Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity. 42
