He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 How could you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself, 3 Or that he may accept advice, so the advice may benefit him. 4 Now he who waxes indifferent, 5 To him dost thou attend; 6 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). 7 But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge] 8 And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), 9 You neglect. 10 No indeed; it is a Reminder 11 So whoever wishes may remember it. 12 Inscribed in Writs honoured, 13 lofty and pure, 14 In the hands of scribes 15 noble and pious. 16 May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve? 17 From what did He create him? 18 Out of a drop of sperm! He creates and proportions him, 19 Then made his passage easy (at birth); 20 Then He caused him to die and be buried 21 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. 22 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him. 23 Let man therefore consider (the sources of) his food. 24 For that We pour forth water in abundance, 25 Then split the earth in clefts 26 and thereupon We cause grain to grow out of it, 27 And grapes and clover, 28 And olive and palm trees 29 And dense gardens, 30 And fruits and grass, 31 for you and for your herds to delight in. 32 And when the Blast shall sound, 33 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, 34 And his mother and his father 35 wife and sons, 36 For every one of them on that Day shall be business enough to occupy 37 Some faces that Day, will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism). 38 laughing, and rejoicing, 39 And many a face will be covered with dust on that day. 40 Blackness will cover them. 41 those -- they are the unbelievers, the libertines. 42
