He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ HE FROWNED AND turned away, 1 when the blind man approached him, 2 What made you think that he will not grow in virtue, 3 (He might) remember, and the Reminder might profit him. 4 Yet you pay attention 5 You pay full attention, 6 Though it is not your concern if he should not grow (in fulness). 7 And he who comes to thee eagerly 8 And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), 9 From him will you divert yourself. 10 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, 11 For any one who desires to bear it in mind, 12 On honoured leaves 13 Exalted and purified, 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 Honourable and Virtuous. 16 Accursed is man. How ungrateful is he! 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, 19 Then maketh the way easy for him, 20 Then He causes him to die, and puts him in his grave; 21 Then when He wills, He will resurrect him. 22 Indeed, he has not fulfilled that which He has ordered him. 23 So man must look at his food. 24 We poured out the rains abundantly, 25 and split the earth, splitting, 26 And We cause therein the grain to grow, 27 together with grapes and vegetables, 28 And olive and palm trees 29 Orchards thick with trees, 30 And fruits and fodder,- 31 for you and for your herds to delight in. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 And his wife and his children, 36 On that day, each one has just one issue, which is enough for him. 37 Many a face will be glittering on that day. 38 and be cheerful and joyous. 39 some faces on that day shall be dusty 40 Dust shall cover them 41 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked. 42
