He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 when the blind came to him. 2 But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? 3 Or be admonished, and the admonition profit him? 4 As for him who is not in want of any thing, 5 To him you give attention. 6 although thou art not accountable for his failure to attain to purity; 7 As for him who comes to you striving (after goodness), 8 and who has fear of God, 9 to him thou payest no heed. 10 These verses are a reminder 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 In honored books, 13 Exalted, purified, 14 In the hands of scribes (angels). 15 noble and purified. 16 Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! 17 Of what thing did He create him? 18 From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him; 19 Then He eased the way for him; 20 then makes him to die, and buries him, 21 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. 22 Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him! 23 Let man look at his food: 24 That We watered it in abundance. 25 and split the earth, splitting, 26 Then We cause to grow therein the grain, 27 together with grapes and vegetables, 28 And olives and palms 29 the densely tree'd gardens, 30 and fruits, and pastures, 31 A provision for you and for your cattle. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 Man will fly from his brother, 34 and from his mother and father, 35 And from his wife and his children. 36 Everyone on that Day will have affairs to keep him occupied. 37 Some faces that Day, will be bright (true believers of Islamic Monotheism). 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news; 39 but some faces will be covered with dust 40 enveloped by darkness. 41 These will be the faces of the sinful disbelievers. 42
