Asad, Surah 80: He frowned (Abasa)

Surahs

[1] HE FROWNED and turned away

[2] because the blind man approached him!

[3] Yet for all thou didst know, [O Muhammad,] he might perhaps have grown in purity,

[4] or have been reminded [of the truth], and helped by this reminder.

[5] Now as for him who believes himself to be self-sufficient

[6] to him didst thou give thy whole attention,

[7] although thou art not accountable for his failure to attain to purity;

[8] but as for him who came unto thee full of eagerness

[9] and in awe [of God]

[10] him didst thou disregard!

[11] NAY, VERILY, these [messages] are but a reminder:

[12] and so, whoever is willing may remember Him

[13] in [the light of His] revelations blest with dignity,

[14] lofty and pure,

[15] [borne] by the hands of messengers

[16] noble and most virtuous.

[17] [But only too often] man destroys himself: how stubbornly does he deny the truth!

[18] [Does man ever consider] out of what substance [God] creates him?

[19] Out of a drop of sperm He creates him, and thereupon determines his nature,

[20] and then makes it easy for him to go through life;

[21] and in the end He causes him to die and brings him to the grave;

[22] and then, if it be His will, He shall raise him again to life,

[23] Nay, but [man] has never yet fulfilled what He has enjoined upon him!

[24] Let man, then, consider [the sources of] his food:

[25] [how it is] that We pour down water, pouring it down abundantly;

[26] and then We cleave the earth [with new growth], cleaving it asunder,

[27] and thereupon We cause grain to grow out of it,

[28] and vines and edible plants,

[29] and olive trees and date-palms,

[30] and gardens dense with foliage,

[31] and fruits and herbage,

[32] for you and for your animals to enjoy.

[33] AND SO, when the piercing call [of resurrection] is heard

[34] on a Day when everyone will [want to] flee from his brother,

[35] and from his mother and father,

[36] and from his spouse and his children:

[37] on that Day, to every one of them will his own state be of sufficient concern.

[38] Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness,

[39] laughing, rejoicing at glad tidings.

[40] And some faces will on that Day with dust be covered,

[41] with darkness overspread:

[42] these, these will be the ones who denied the truth and were immersed in iniquity!
