He Frowned ('Abasa)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 What made you think that he will not grow in virtue, 3 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? 4 As for him who is not in want of any thing, 5 you attended to him, 6 Whereas it is not on thee that he is not cleansed. 7 but as for one who comes to you, eagerly 8 and in awe [of God] 9 You neglect. 10 Assuredly this is a reminder 11 So whoever wishes may remember it. 12 Inscribed in Writs honoured, 13 most exalted and purified, 14 In the hands of scribes (angels). 15 Noble and righteous. 16 Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he. 17 [Does man ever consider] out of what substance [God] creates him? 18 Of a sperm-drop He created him, and determined him, 19 Then He eased the way for him; 20 Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; 21 then, He will raise him when He wills. 22 Indeed, he has not fulfilled that which He has ordered him. 23 Let man reflect on the food he eats. 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Then We cracked the earth open under pressure (of germination) 26 And cause the grain to grow therein 27 And grapes and clover plants (i.e. green fodder for the cattle), 28 and the olive, and the palm, 29 And gardens of dense shrubbery 30 and fruits and fodder 31 as provision for you and for your cattle to enjoy. 32 But when there comes the Deafening Blast 33 On the Day a man will flee from his brother 34 and from his mother and father, 35 his consort, his sons, 36 On that day, each one has just one issue, which is enough for him. 37 [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright - 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 And many will be dust-begrimed, 40 Blackness will cover them. 41 It is they, the disbelievers, the sinners. 42
