He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ HE FROWNED and turned away 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) 3 Or be admonished, so that the admonition might have profited him? 4 Now he who waxes indifferent, 5 To him do you address yourself. 6 What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah). 7 As for the one who comes to you earnestly (striving for guidance). 8 And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), 9 From him will you divert yourself. 10 No indeed; this is only a Reminder. 11 Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance. 12 It is contained in scrolls highly honoured, 13 Exalted, pure. 14 borne by the hands of scribes, 15 Honourable and Pious and Just. 16 Woe to man! How ungrateful he is! 17 Of what thing did He create him? 18 Out of a drop of sperm! He creates and proportions him, 19 then eased his path for him, 20 Then causeth him to die, and burieth him; 21 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. 22 But no. He has not fulfilled what was enjoined on him. 23 Let man, then, consider [the sources of] his food: 24 We poured out the rains abundantly, 25 Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, 26 And cause the grain to grow therein 27 And grapes and green fodder 28 And olive-trees and palm-trees 29 And garden-closes of thick foliage 30 And fruit and grass - 31 for you and for your animals to enjoy. 32 At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,- 33 Man will fly from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father, 35 and his consort and his children; 36 every man that day shall have business to suffice him. 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news (of Paradise). 39 And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them, 40 o'erspread with darkness -- 41 They will be the unbelievers, transgressors. 42
