He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 How canst thou know, whether haply he might be cleansed, 3 or take heed and derive benefit from [Our] warning? 4 As for he who is sufficed 5 to a rich man, 6 although it is not for you to be concerned if he remained unpurified. 7 And to him who came to you eagerly 8 and in awe [of God] 9 you pay him no heed. 10 By no means! Verily it is an admonition. 11 So whoever wishes may remember it. 12 in [the light of His] revelations blest with dignity, 13 lofty and pure, 14 by the hands of the noble, virtuous, 15 noble and purified. 16 Perish Man! How unthankful he is! 17 From what substance did He create him? 18 Of a sperm-drop He created him, and determined him, 19 and made the path of guidance easy for him to follow. 20 He will then send him to death and have him laid in the grave. 21 Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again). 22 Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him! 23 Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food. 24 how We pour down rain in abundance, 25 Then split the earth in clefts 26 how We made the grain to grow, 27 And grapes and green fodder 28 And olives and date-palms, 29 and dense orchards, 30 and fruits and herbage, 31 [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock. 32 Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrection's second blowing of Trumpet), 33 On the Day whereon a man shall flee from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 and his consort and his children; 36 Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others. 37 on that Day some faces will be beaming, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 some faces on that day shall be dusty 40 Blackness will cover them: 41 those will be ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity. 42
