He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 And what could let you know? Perhaps he (comes to hear you) to be purified. 3 or have been reminded [of the truth,] and helped by this reminder. 4 Now he who waxes indifferent, 5 you attended to him, 6 though it is not thy concern, if he does not cleanse himself. 7 As for the one who comes to you earnestly (striving for guidance). 8 And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 No indeed; this is only a Reminder. 11 (and whoso wills, shall remember it) 12 It is contained in scrolls highly honoured, 13 Exalted and holy, 14 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, 15 noble, pious. 16 Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! 17 Of what thing did He create him? 18 From a drop of liquid; He created him and then set several measures for him. 19 Then doth He make His path smooth for him; 20 then makes him to die, and buries him, 21 then, He will raise him when He wills. 22 No indeed! Man has not accomplished His bidding. 23 Let man reflect on the food he eats. 24 [how it is] that We pour down water, pouring it down abundantly; 25 and let the earth to break open 26 And produce therein corn, 27 grapes, vegetables, 28 olives, dates, 29 and burgeoning enclosed gardens 30 And fruits and herbage: 31 an enjoyment for you and your flocks. 32 But when the Shout cometh 33 That Day shall a man flee from his brother, 34 and his mother and his father; 35 And his wife and his children, 36 for on that day everyone will be completely engrossed in his own concerns. 37 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 38 laughing and joyous 39 Some faces on that Day shall be dust-ridden, 40 enveloped by darkness. 41 those -- they are the unbelievers, the libertines. 42
