He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ (The Prophet) frowned and turned away, 1 Because the blind man came unto him. 2 But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? 3 Or that he might receive admonition, and that the admonition might profit him? 4 As for him who is not in want of any thing, 5 Unto him thou payest regard. 6 although it is not for you to be concerned if he remained unpurified. 7 But as to him who came to you running. 8 and who has fear of God, 9 you pay him no heed. 10 Not this way – this is the advice. 11 So let him who pleases mind it. 12 (This Quran) is also recorded in honorable books, 13 exalted, purified, 14 [borne] by the hands of messengers 15 Honourable and Pious and Just. 16 Perish the human! How unthankful he is! 17 [Does man ever consider] out of what substance [God] creates him? 18 From a (sperm) drop He created him and then determined him, 19 He makes his path easy for him. 20 and in the end He causes him to die and brings him to the grave; 21 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him. 22 Not one – he has not yet completed what he was commanded. 23 So man must look at his food. 24 We let the rain pour down in torrents 25 and let the earth to break open 26 and therein made the grains to grow 27 and vines, and reeds, 28 and the olive, and the palm, 29 And thick gardens, 30 and fruits, and pastures, 31 all this as a provision for you and your cattle. 32 Then, when there comes As-Sakhkhah (the Day of Resurrection's second blowing of Trumpet), 33 Man will fly from his brother, 34 his mother, his father, 35 And from his wife and sons. 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 And many a face will be covered with dust on that day. 40 Darkness will cover them, 41 These will be the faces of the sinful disbelievers. 42
