He Frowned ('Abasa)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most 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 that he may accept advice, so the advice may benefit him. 4 Now he who waxes indifferent, 5 To him dost thou attend; 6 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified. 7 And he who comes to thee eagerly 8 and fears (Allah), 9 you pay no heed to him. 10 No indeed; it is a Reminder 11 So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. 12 Inscribed in Writs honoured, 13 Exalted and purified, 14 Written by the hands of emissaries. 15 Honourable and Virtuous. 16 Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth. 17 [Does man ever consider] out of what substance [God] creates him? 18 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, 19 Then He eased the way for him; 20 Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, 21 Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again. 22 By no means he performed not that which He had commanded him. 23 Then let man look to his food, 24 We poured water, pouring it in great abundance, 25 and cleaved the earth, cleaving it asunder; 26 then caused the grain to grow out of it, 27 and vines and edible plants, 28 and olives and palms, 29 And garden-closes of thick foliage 30 And fruit and grass - 31 In order to benefit you and your cattle. 32 And when the Blast shall sound, 33 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother 34 mother, father, 35 his consort, his sons, 36 for on that day everyone will be completely engrossed in his own concerns. 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 Laughing, rejoicing at good news. 39 some faces on that day shall be dusty 40 Darkness will cover them, 41 It is they, the disbelievers, the sinners. 42
