He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ HE FROWNED AND turned away, 1 when the blind came to him. 2 But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified 3 Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him? 4 As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient, 5 you attended to him, 6 though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself. 7 but as for him who came unto thee full of eagerness 8 and in awe of God 9 So you leave him, and are engrossed elsewhere! 10 No indeed, this is a Reminder; 11 So whosoever willeth - let him be admonished therewlth. 12 upon pages high-honoured, 13 Exalted, pure. 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 Honourable and Pious and Just. 16 Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! 17 From what thing doth He create him? 18 Of a drop of seed. He created him and formed him according to a measure. 19 Then doth He make His path smooth for him; 20 Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, 21 Then when He pleases, He will bring him back to life. 22 No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him. 23 Then let man look to his food, 24 That We pour forth water in abundance, 25 and then We cleaved the earth asunder. 26 And cause the grain to grow therein 27 And grapes and herbage, 28 Olives and dates, 29 and burgeoning enclosed gardens 30 and fruits and herbage, 31 (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. 32 But, when the Blast comes, 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 and his mother and his father; 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 Each man will have enough cares that day. 37 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, 38 Laughing, rejoicing. 39 And many will be dust-begrimed, 40 Blackness will cover them: 41 those will be ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity. 42
