(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
Abasa 1
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
Abasa 2
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?-
Abasa 3
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
Abasa 4
As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,
Abasa 5
To him dost thou attend;
Abasa 6
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
Abasa 7
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
Abasa 8
And with fear (in his heart),
Abasa 9
Of him wast thou unmindful.
Abasa 10
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
Abasa 11
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
Abasa 12
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
Abasa 13
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
Abasa 14
(Written) by the hands of scribes-
Abasa 15
Honourable and Pious and Just.
Abasa 16
Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;
Abasa 17
From what stuff hath He created him?
Abasa 18
From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;
Abasa 19
Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
Abasa 20
Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;
Abasa 21
Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).
Abasa 22
By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.
Abasa 23
Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):
Abasa 24
For that We pour forth water in abundance,
Abasa 25
And We split the earth in fragments,
Abasa 26
And produce therein corn,
Abasa 27
And Grapes and nutritious plants,
Abasa 28
And Olives and Dates,
Abasa 29
And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
Abasa 30
And fruits and fodder,-
Abasa 31
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
Abasa 32
At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,-
Abasa 33
That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,
Abasa 34
And from his mother and his father,
Abasa 35
And from his wife and his children.
Abasa 36
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
Abasa 37
Some faces that Day will be beaming,
Abasa 38
Laughing, rejoicing.
Abasa 39
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained,
Abasa 40
Blackness will cover them:
Abasa 41
Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.
Abasa 42
