He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man. 2 And what do you know, he may be of the pure! 3 or have been reminded [of the truth,] and helped by this reminder. 4 As for him who was indifferent, 5 you attended to him, 6 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified. 7 And for him who came to you striving, 8 and who has fear of God, 9 Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another, 10 No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder; 11 For any one who desires to bear it in mind, 12 in [the light of His] revelations blest with dignity, 13 Exalted, purified, 14 borne by the hands of scribes, 15 Noble and dutiful. 16 Perish Man! How unthankful he is! 17 [Does man ever consider] out of what substance [God] creates him? 18 Out of a sperm-drop did He create him and then determined a measure for him, 19 Then maketh the way easy for him, 20 then makes him to die, and buries him, 21 then, He will raise him when He wills. 22 Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him. 23 Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food. 24 We send down abundant water, 25 and then We cleaved the earth asunder. 26 And produce therein corn, 27 And grapes and green fodder 28 And olives and date palms, 29 and dense orchards, 30 and fruits and herbage, 31 (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 on a Day when everyone will [want to] flee from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him. 37 Some faces that Day will be beaming, 38 laughing, joyous; 39 And many a face will be covered with dust on that day. 40 Darkness shall cover them. 41 Those, they are the unbelievers, the immoral. 42
