He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 Yet for all thou didst know, [O Muhammad,] he might perhaps have grown in purity, 3 Or be admonished, and the admonition profit him? 4 As for he who is sufficed 5 To him you give attention. 6 Though it is not your concern if he should not grow (in fulness). 7 And to him who came to you eagerly 8 And whereas he fears, 9 From him will you divert yourself. 10 Nay, (do not do like this), indeed it (these Verses of this Quran) are an admonition, 11 so let those who want to follow its guidance do so. 12 (This Quran) is also recorded in honorable books, 13 Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy, 14 [borne] by the hands of messengers 15 noble and pious. 16 Perish the human! How unthankful he is! 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, 19 Then He makes the Path easy for him; 20 Then He caused him to die and be buried 21 and then, whenever He wishes, He will raise him back to life. 22 Indeed, he has not fulfilled that which He has ordered him. 23 Then let man look at his food, 24 We poured water, pouring it in great abundance, 25 and then We cleave the earth [with new growth,] cleaving it asunder, 26 And We made corn grow, 27 And Grapes and nutritious plants, 28 And olive and palm trees 29 And garden-closes of thick foliage 30 And fruits and Abba (herbage, etc.), 31 all this as a provision for you and your cattle. 32 So when the deafening Shout arrives, 33 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother 34 And his mother and his father, 35 And his spouse and his son-- 36 on that Day every man among them will have enough concern of his own -- 37 Many faces will that day be bright, 38 laughing, and rejoicing, 39 And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust, 40 Dust shall cover them 41 Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity. 42
