* | quran | * | 80. `abasa. he frowned < >

	pickthal_2
1. *	He frowned and turned away

2. *	Because the blind man came unto him.

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

4. *	Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him?

5. *	As for him who thinketh himself independent,

6. *	Unto him thou payest regard.

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

8. *	But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose

9. *	And hath fear,

10. *	From him thou art distracted.

11. *	Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,

12. *	So let whosoever will pay heed to it,

13. *	On honoured leaves

14. *	Exalted, purified,

15. *	(Set down) by scribes

16. *	Noble and righteous.

17. *	Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful!

18. *	From what thing doth He create him?

19. *	From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,

20. *	Then maketh the way easy for him,

21. *	Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;

22. *	Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.

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

24. *	Let man consider his food:

25. *	How We pour water in showers

26. *	Then split the earth in clefts

27. *	And cause the grain to grow therein

28. *	And grapes and green fodder

29. *	And olive-trees and palm-trees

30. *	And garden-closes of thick foliage

31. *	And fruits and grasses:

32. *	Provision for you and your cattle.

33. *	But when the Shout cometh

34. *	On the day when a man fleeth from his brother

35. *	And his mother and his father

36. *	And his wife and his children,

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

38. *	On that day faces will be bright as dawn,

39. *	Laughing, rejoicing at good news;

40. *	And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,

41. *	Veiled in darkness,

42. *	Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
