He Frowned ('Abasa)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 You never know. Perhaps he wanted to purify himself, 3 or yet remember, and the Reminder profit him. 4 As for him who thinketh himself independent, 5 So you are after him! 6 though you are not to be blamed if he would not purify himself -- 7 And he who comes to thee eagerly 8 and who has fear of God, 9 You neglect. 10 By no means! Verily it is an admonition. 11 So let whosoever will pay heed to it, 12 (It is) in Records held (greatly) in honour (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz). 13 Exalted (in dignity), purified, 14 In the hands of scribes (angels). 15 noble and virtuous scribes. 16 May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve? 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions; 19 He makes his path easy for him. 20 then makes him to die, and buries him, 21 Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again). 22 But no. He has not fulfilled what was enjoined on him. 23 Let Man consider his nourishment. 24 How We pour water in showers 25 and then We cleave the earth [with new growth,] cleaving it asunder, 26 And cause the grain to grow therein 27 And Grapes and nutritious plants, 28 and olives and palms, 29 And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees, 30 And fruits and fodder: 31 A provision for you and your cattle. 32 But when the Shout cometh 33 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, 34 his mother, his father, 35 And from his wife and sons. 36 Everyone on that Day will have affairs to keep him occupied. 37 Some faces on that Day shall be beaming with happiness, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 And other faces that Day will be dust-stained, 40 Darkness will cover them, 41 It is they, the disbelievers, the sinners. 42
