He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- 3 or have been reminded [of the truth,] and helped by this reminder. 4 Now he who waxes indifferent, 5 You pay full attention, 6 Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding). 7 And to him who came to you eagerly 8 And whereas he fears, 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 Nay! surely it is an admonishment. 11 So whoso wills may give heed to it. 12 (This Quran) is also recorded in honorable books, 13 Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy, 14 Written by the hands of emissaries. 15 Noble and righteous. 16 Perish man! how ungrateful he is! 17 Of what [stuff] has He created him? 18 He created him from a living germ. He determined his fate 19 Then doth He make His path smooth for him; 20 He will then send him to death and have him laid in the grave. 21 and then, if it be His will, He shall raise him again to life, 22 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him. 23 Let man reflect on the food he eats. 24 That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance, 25 and split the earth, splitting, 26 and thereupon We cause grain to grow out of it, 27 And grapes and fodder, 28 Olives and dates, 29 And dense gardens, 30 And fruits and grasses: 31 (These are made so as to be) means of enjoyment for you and your cattle. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 on a Day when everyone will [want to] flee from his brother, 34 his mother, his father, 35 his wife and his children. 36 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 Laughing, joyous. 39 but some faces will be covered with dust 40 and veiled with darkness. 41 these, these will be the ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity! 42
