He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? 3 or he might be mindful and good counsel might avail him. 4 Now he who waxes indifferent, 5 to a rich man, 6 although thou art not accountable for his failure to attain to purity; 7 But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose 8 and who has fear of God, 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 NAY, VERILY, these [messages] are but a reminder: 11 For any one who desires to bear it in mind, 12 (Contained) in honoured pages, 13 exalted, purified, 14 [borne] by the hands of messengers 15 Noble and righteous. 16 May man be slain – how ungrateful he is! 17 From what substance did He create him? 18 From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion; 19 then the way eased for him, 20 Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; 21 Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again. 22 No indeed! Man has not accomplished His bidding. 23 Then let mankind look at his food - 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Then split the earth in clefts 26 Thereby produced grain in it. 27 and grape vines and vegetables, 28 And olive-trees and palm-trees 29 And dense gardens, 30 and fruit and pastures, 31 all this as a provision for you and your cattle. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 upon the day when a man shall flee from his brother, 34 and from his mother and father, 35 And his wife and his children, 36 for on that day everyone will be completely engrossed in his own concerns. 37 Many a face will be glittering on that day. 38 Laughing, joyous. 39 And other faces that Day will be dust-stained, 40 Dust shall cover them 41 those will be ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity. 42
