Chapter 80: He Frowned Abasa

Table of Contents

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful

He frowned and turned away

When the blind man approached him

But how do you know

Perhaps he was seeking to purify himself

Or be reminded, and the message would benefit him

But as for him who was indifferent

You gave him your attention

Though you are not liable if he does not purify himself

But as for him who came to you seeking

In awe

To him you were inattentive

Do not

This is a Lesson

Whoever wills, shall remember it

On honorable pages

Exalted and purified

By the hands of scribes

Noble and devoted

Perish man

How thankless he is

From what did He create him

From a sperm drop He created him, and enabled him

Then He eased the way for him

Then He puts him to death, and buries him

Then, when He wills, He will resurrect him

But no, he did not fulfill what He has commanded him

Let man consider his food

We pour down water in abundance

Then crack the soil open

And grow in it grains

And grapes and herbs

And olives and dates

And luscious gardens

And fruits and vegetables

Enjoyment for you, and for your livestock

But when the Deafening Noise comes to pass

The Day when a person will flee from his brother

And his mother and his father

And his consort and his children

Every one of them, on that Day, will have enough to preoccupy him

Faces on that Day will be radiant

Laughing and rejoicing

And Faces on that Day will be covered with misery

Overwhelmed by remorse

These are the faithless, the vicious
