He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
۞ He frowned and turned away. 1 Because the blind man had come in his august presence. 2 And what do you know, he may be of the pure! 3 or take heed and derive benefit from [Our] warning? 4 But the self-sufficient, 5 you attended to him, 6 What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah). 7 And as to him who comes to you striving hard, 8 While he fears [Allah], 9 Of him wast thou unmindful. 10 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, 11 So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it. 12 On honoured leaves 13 Exalted, pure. 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 noble and pious. 16 Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 He created him from a living germ. He determined his fate 19 then eased his path for him, 20 then He caused him to die and brought him to the grave, 21 Then, when it is His Will, He will resurrect him (again). 22 No indeed! Man has not accomplished His bidding. 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 Then We split the earth properly. 26 Then We cause therein the grain to grow, 27 and vines, and reeds, 28 And Olives and Dates, 29 And enclosed gardens luxuriant. 30 And fruit and grass - 31 For use and convenience to you and your cattle. 32 So when the deafening Shout arrives, 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 and from his spouse and his children: 36 Each man will have enough cares that day. 37 On that day faces will be bright as dawn, 38 laughing, joyous; 39 And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained; 40 and overcast with gloom: 41 Those, they are the unbelievers, the immoral. 42
