He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ He frowned and then turned away 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 How could you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself, 3 or he might be mindful and good counsel might avail him. 4 As for him who was indifferent, 5 Unto him thou payest regard. 6 although it is not for you to be concerned if he remained unpurified. 7 And as for him who cometh unto thee running, 8 And whereas he fears, 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 Assuredly this is a reminder 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz). 13 Exalted, purified, 14 [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels, 15 noble, pious. 16 Perish the human! How unthankful he is! 17 Out of what did Allah 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 causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; 21 and then, if it be His will, He shall raise him again to life, 22 Yet man declines to do His bidding. 23 Then let mankind look at his food - 24 For that We pour forth water in abundance, 25 then We split the earth in fissures 26 how We made the grain to grow, 27 And grapes and herbage, 28 Olives and dates, 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 AND SO, when the piercing call [of resurrection] is heard 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 his mother, his father, 35 And from his wife and his children. 36 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). 37 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 And many will be dust-begrimed, 40 Dust shall cover them 41 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones. 42
