He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]. 2 And what do you know, he may be of the pure! 3 Or be admonished, so that the admonition might have profited him? 4 As for he who thinks himself without need, 5 To him you give attention. 6 What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah). 7 But as to him who came to you running. 8 and in awe [of God] 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 No indeed; this is only a Reminder. 11 So whoso wills may give heed to it. 12 On honoured leaves 13 Exalted, purified, 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 noble and purified. 16 Perish the human! How unthankful he is! 17 From what thing doth He create him? 18 Out of a drop of sperm He creates him, and thereupon determines his nature, 19 then eased his path for him, 20 Then He caused him to die and made him to be buried. 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him! 23 Then let man look at his food, 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, 26 And We made corn grow, 27 and grape vines and vegetables, 28 And olives and date palms, 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 And fruits and grasses: 31 A provision for you and your cattle. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 That Day shall a man flee from his brother, 34 mother, father, 35 And from his wife and sons. 36 on that Day each will be occupied with his own business, making him oblivious of all save himself. 37 Some faces that Day, will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism). 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news. 39 but others will be gloomy 40 Veiled in darkness, 41 These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked. 42
