He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, 1 Because a blind man came to him. 2 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) 3 Or be admonished, and the admonition profit him? 4 For him who does not care, 5 to him thou attendest 6 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). 7 but as for one who comes to you, eagerly 8 And he fears, 9 you pay him no heed. 10 Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition, 11 So whoever wishes may remember it. 12 On honoured leaves 13 Exalted and holy, 14 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, 15 noble and pious. 16 May man be slain – how ungrateful he is! 17 From what has God created him? 18 From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him; 19 Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him) 20 Then He causes him to die and be buried. 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 Certainly, he has not duly fulfilled His commands. 23 Let the human reflect on the food he eats, 24 We poured water, pouring it in great abundance, 25 and let the earth to break open 26 And produce therein corn, 27 And grapes and green fodder 28 and olives, and palms, 29 and dense-tree'd gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 For use and convenience to you and your cattle. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 The day on which a man shall fly from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 and his consort and his children; 36 Each man will have enough cares that day. 37 Some faces will shine, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 And some faces will on that Day with dust be covered, 40 Blackness will cover them: 41 those will be ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity. 42
