He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 because the blind man approached him! 2 What made you think that he will not grow in virtue, 3 Or be admonished, so that the admonition might have profited him? 4 As for him who was indifferent, 5 You pay full attention, 6 though it is not thy concern, if he does not cleanse himself. 7 but as for him who came unto thee full of eagerness 8 And hath fear, 9 You neglect. 10 No indeed, this is a Reminder; 11 So whoever wishes may remember it. 12 upon highly honored pages, 13 exalted, purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 Who are noble, virtuous. 16 May man be slain – how ungrateful he is! 17 From what stuff hath He created him? 18 From a (sperm) drop He created him and then determined him, 19 He makes his path easy for him. 20 and in the end He causes him to die and brings him to the grave; 21 Then, when He willed, He brought him out. (As during the night of Holy Prophet’s ascension, when all the Prophets gathered behind him in the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Or when Allah will raise everyone on the Day of Resurrection.) 22 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him. 23 Let the human being think about (how We produce) his food. 24 We send down abundant water, 25 Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts, 26 And We made corn grow, 27 grapes, and fresh fodder, 28 and the olive, and the palm, 29 and gardens dense with foliage, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 for you and for your animals to enjoy. 32 But when the deafening cry comes, 33 it will be such a day when a person will run away from his brother, 34 his mother, his father, 35 And his wife and his children, 36 Each man will have enough cares that day. 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 And many will be dust-begrimed, 40 enveloped by darkness. 41 these, these will be the ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity! 42
