> Surah 80
> 
> 'Abasa (He Frowned)
> 
> In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
> 
> 1.  The (Prophet) frowned and turned away.
> 
> 2.  Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
> 
> 3.  But what could tell thee but that perchance he might Grow (in spiritual understanding)?--
> 
> 4.  Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
> 
> 5.  As to one who regards himself as self-sufficient,
> 
> 6.  To him dost thou attend;
> 
> 7.  Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
> 
> 8.  But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
> 
> 9.  And with fear (in his heart),
> 
> 10.  Of him wast thou unmindful.
> 
> 11.  By no means (should it be so)!  For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
> 
> 12.  Therefore let who will, keep it in remembrance.
> 
> 13.  (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honor.
> 
> 14.  Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
> 
> 15.  (Written) by the hands of scribes--
> 
> 16.  Honorable and Pious and Just.
> 
> 17.  Woe to man! what hath made him reject Allah?
> 
> 18.  From what stuff Hath He created him?
> 
> 19.  From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;
> 
> 20.  Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
> 
> 21.  Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his Grave;
> 
> 22.  Then, when it is His will, He will raise him up (again).
> 
> 23.  By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah Hath commanded him.
> 
> 24.  Then let man look at his Food, (and how We provide it):
> 
> 25.  For that We pour forth water in abundance,
> 
> 26.  And We split the earth in fragments,
> 
> 27.  And produce therein Corn,
> 
> 28.  And Grapes and nutritious Plants.
> 
> 29.  And Olives and Dates,
> 
> 30.  And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
> 
> 31.  And Fruits and Fodder--
> 
> 32.  For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
> 
> 33.  At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise--
> 
> 34.  That Day shall a man flee from his own brother.
> 
> 35.  And from his mother, and his father.
> 
> 36.  And from his wife and his children.
> 
> 37.  Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
> 
> 38.  Some Faces that Day will be beaming.
> 
> 39.  Laughing, rejoicing.
> 
> 40.  And other faces that Day will be dust-stained;
> 
> 41.  Blackness will cover them:
> 
> 42.  Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the Doers of Iniquity.
