He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 And what would make you know that he would purify himself, 3 Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him? 4 Yet you pay attention 5 So you are after him! 6 although thou art not accountable for his failure to attain to purity; 7 As for him who comes to you striving (after goodness), 8 and fears (Allah), 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 Indeed, this [Quran] is an admonition. 11 So whoever wills may remember it. 12 (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz). 13 Exalted, Purified, 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 noble and purified. 16 Perish Man! How unthankful he is! 17 From what thing did He create him? 18 From a drop of liquid; He created him and then set several measures for him. 19 and then makes it easy for him to go through life; 20 then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave, 21 and then, if it be His will, He shall raise him again to life, 22 No indeed! Man has not accomplished His bidding. 23 Let Man consider his nourishment. 24 We send down abundant water, 25 and then We cleave the earth [with new growth,] cleaving it asunder, 26 then caused the grain to grow out of it, 27 and vines, and reeds, 28 and olive trees and date palms 29 And thick gardens, 30 fruits, and grass. 31 all this as a provision for you and your cattle. 32 At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,- 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 And from his mother and father, 35 As well as his wife and children. 36 Everyone on that Day will have affairs to keep him occupied. 37 on that Day some faces will be beaming, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 but some faces will be covered with dust 40 Darkness will cover them, 41 They will be the unbelievers, transgressors. 42
