He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 But what could tell you that per chance he might become pure (from sins)? 3 Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him? 4 But the self-sufficient, 5 you attended to him, 6 And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself 7 But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly, 8 And hath fear, 9 Him thou neglectest! 10 By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction: 11 So whoever wishes may remember it. 12 upon pages high-honoured, 13 Exalted, Purified, 14 by the hands of the noble, virtuous, 15 Noble, virtuous. 16 May (the disbelieving) human being be condemned! What makes him disbelieve? 17 Of what did He create him? 18 Out of a sperm-drop did He create him and then determined a measure for him, 19 Then maketh the way easy for him, 20 Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave; 21 then, He will raise him when He wills. 22 By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him. 23 Let man consider his food: 24 That We watered it in abundance. 25 and then We cleaved the earth asunder. 26 And caused to grow within it grain 27 and vines and edible plants, 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 thickly planted gardens, 30 fruits, and grass. 31 [As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, 34 And his mother and his father 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 On that day faces will be bright as dawn, 38 laughing, and rejoicing, 39 And other faces that Day will be dust-stained, 40 Veiled in darkness, 41 They will be the unbelievers, transgressors. 42
