He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 when the blind man approached him, 2 And what do you know, he may be of the pure! 3 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? 4 For him who does not care, 5 To him do you address yourself. 6 though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself. 7 As for him who comes to you striving (after goodness), 8 And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), 9 Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another, 10 No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder; 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 upon pages high-honoured, 13 Exalted, Purified, 14 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, 15 noble, pious. 16 May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve? 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 From a single sperm He created, then proportioned him, 19 Then doth He make His path smooth for him; 20 Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, 21 Then, when He willed, He brought him out. (As during the night of Holy Prophet’s ascension, when all the Prophets gathered behind him in the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Or when Allah will raise everyone on the Day of Resurrection.) 22 Indeed, he has not fulfilled that which He has ordered him. 23 Let the human reflect on the food he eats, 24 That We watered it in abundance. 25 Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts], 26 And We made corn grow, 27 grapes, and fresh fodder, 28 and the olive, and the palm, 29 thickly planted gardens, 30 fruits, and grass. 31 [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock. 32 At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,- 33 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother 34 And his mother and his father 35 And from his wife and his children. 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 [Some] faces, that Day, will be bright - 38 and be cheerful and joyous. 39 And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust. 40 and overcast with gloom: 41 Those! they are the infidels, the ungodly. 42
