He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 because the blind man approached him! 2 But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- 3 or yet remember, and the Reminder profit him. 4 For him who does not care, 5 You pay full attention, 6 although thou art not accountable for his failure to attain to purity; 7 But as to him who came to you running. 8 and in awe of God 9 From him thou art distracted. 10 Not this way – this is the advice. 11 (and whoso wills, shall remember it) 12 in [the light of His] revelations blest with dignity, 13 uplifted, purified, 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 noble and purified. 16 Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth. 17 Of what [stuff] has He created him? 18 From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion; 19 Then the way He made easy. 20 then causes him to die and buries him, 21 Then, when He willed, He brought him out. (As during the night of Holy Prophet’s ascension, when all the Prophets gathered behind him in the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Or when Allah will raise everyone on the Day of Resurrection.) 22 Nay, but man did not fulfil what Allah had enjoined upon him. 23 Then let man look at his food, 24 That We watered it in abundance. 25 Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, 26 And We made corn grow, 27 and vines and edible plants, 28 And olive and palm trees 29 thickly planted gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. 32 But when the deafening cry comes, 33 On the Day a man will flee from his brother 34 And his mother and his father 35 And his wife and his children, 36 Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him. 37 On that day faces will be bright as dawn, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust, 40 and covered by darkness. 41 Such will be the Kafarah (disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, and in His Messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him), etc.), the Fajarah (wicked evil doers). 42
