He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ (The Prophet) frowned and turned away, 1 Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). 2 What made you think that he will not grow in virtue, 3 Or be admonished, so that the admonition might have profited him? 4 For him who does not care, 5 Unto him thou attendest. 6 And you have nothing to lose if he does not become pure. 7 But he who comes to you running, 8 And is afraid (of Allah and His Punishment), 9 to him thou payest no heed. 10 Indeed, this [Quran] is an admonition. 11 and so, whoever is willing may remember Him 12 [It is recorded] in honored sheets, 13 exalted, purified, 14 borne by the hands of scribes, 15 noble and most virtuous. 16 Woe to man! How ungrateful he is! 17 From what stuff hath He created him? 18 Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, 19 Then maketh the way easy for him, 20 then makes him to die, and buries him, 21 Then He will raise him up again when He please. 22 Certainly, he has not duly fulfilled His commands. 23 Then let mankind look at his food - 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts, 26 And cause the grain to grow therein 27 And grapes and herbage, 28 And olives and date-palms, 29 thickly planted gardens, 30 fruits, and grass. 31 for you and for your herds to delight in. 32 But, when the Blast comes, 33 on a Day when everyone will [want to] flee from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 for on that day everyone will be completely engrossed in his own concerns. 37 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 some faces on that day shall be dusty 40 and covered by darkness. 41 Those, they are the unbelievers, the immoral. 42
