He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 when the blind came to him. 2 And what should teach thee? Perchance he would cleanse him, 3 or take heed and derive benefit from [Our] warning? 4 As for him who regardeth himself self-sufficient 5 You pay full attention, 6 And you have nothing to lose if he does not become pure. 7 And he who comes to thee eagerly 8 and fears (Allah), 9 you pay him no heed. 10 Indeed, this [Quran] is an admonition. 11 So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. 12 upon pages high-honoured, 13 lofty and pure, 14 by the hands of the noble, virtuous, 15 Honourable and Pious and Just. 16 Accursed be man! How stubbornly he denies the Truth. 17 From what has God created him? 18 Of a sperm-drop He created him, and determined him, 19 Then maketh the way easy for him, 20 He will then send him to death and have him laid in the grave. 21 and then, if it be His will, He shall raise him again to life, 22 Nay, but (man) has not done what He commanded him. 23 Let the human being think about (how We produce) his food. 24 [how it is] that We pour down water, pouring it down abundantly; 25 And We split the earth in fragments, 26 and therein made the grains to grow 27 together with grapes and vegetables, 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 Orchards thick with trees, 30 And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.), 31 for you and for your herds to delight in. 32 But when the deafening blast is sounded, 33 On the Day whereon a man shall flee from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father 35 and his consort and his children; 36 every man that day shall have business to suffice him. 37 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 38 Laughing and full of joy, 39 And faces on that Day! upon them shall be gloom. 40 Darkness will cover them, 41 These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked. 42
