He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 because the blind man approached him! 2 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) 3 Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him? 4 As for he who is sufficed 5 to a rich man, 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 But as to him who came to you running. 8 And he feareth 9 you ignore him. 10 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, 11 Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance. 12 (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz). 13 Exalted, pure. 14 In the hands of scribes (angels). 15 Honourable and Virtuous. 16 [But only too often] man destroys himself: how stubbornly does he deny the truth! 17 From what thing did He create him? 18 From Nutfah (male and female semen drops) He created him, and then set him in due proportion; 19 Then He eased the way for him; 20 Then He causes him to die and be buried. 21 Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again). 22 Certainly, he has not duly fulfilled His commands. 23 Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it): 24 How We poured down water in torrents, 25 and then We cleaved the earth asunder. 26 And We made corn grow, 27 grapes, and fresh fodder, 28 and olives and palms, 29 And gardens, dense with many trees, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 as provision for you and for your cattle to enjoy. 32 But when there comes the Deafening Blast 33 On the Day a man will flee from his brother 34 And from his mother and father, 35 his consort, his sons, 36 Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of others. 37 Some faces on that day will be radiant, 38 laughing, joyous; 39 And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust. 40 Dust shall cover them 41 These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked. 42
