'Abasa

He frowned and turned away

Because the blind man came unto him

What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)

Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him

As for him who thinketh himself independent

Unto him thou payest regard

Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace)

But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose

And hath fear

From him thou art distracted

Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment

So let whosoever will pay heed to it

On honoured leaves

Exalted, purified

(Set down) by scribes

Noble and righteous

Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful

From what thing doth He create him

From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him

Then maketh the way easy for him

Then causeth him to die, and burieth him

Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life

Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him

Let man consider his food

How We pour water in showers

Then split the earth in clefts

And cause the grain to grow therein

And grapes and green fodder

And olive-trees and palm-trees

And garden-closes of thick foliage

And fruits and grasses

Provision for you and your cattle

But when the Shout cometh

On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

And his mother and his father

And his wife and his children

Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others)

On that day faces will be bright as dawn

Laughing, rejoicing at good news

And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them

Veiled in darkness

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked
