He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? 3 or receive some (Quranic) advice which would benefit him. 4 As for him who is not in want of any thing, 5 Unto him thou payest regard. 6 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified. 7 But he who comes to you running, 8 and who has fear of God, 9 Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another, 10 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction: 11 For any one who desires to bear it in mind, 12 upon highly honored pages, 13 Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy, 14 by the hands of the noble, virtuous, 15 Noble and righteous. 16 [But only too often] man destroys himself: how stubbornly does he deny the truth! 17 Of what thing did He create him? 18 Out of a drop of sperm He creates him, and thereupon determines his nature, 19 Then eased the way for him. 20 then causes him to die and buries him, 21 and He will resurrect him whenever He wants. 22 Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him! 23 Then let mankind look at his food - 24 That We pour forth water in abundance, 25 and split the earth, splitting, 26 We make the grain grow out of it, 27 grapes, and fresh fodder, 28 and olives and palms, 29 And garden-closes of thick foliage 30 And fruits and grasses: 31 as provision for you and for your cattle to enjoy. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 it will be such a day when a person will run away from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others. 37 Faces on that Day shall be beaming, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 whereas some faces will be covered with dust 40 Covered with the blackness (of shame): 41 Those! they are the infidels, the ungodly. 42
