Abasa
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
(The Prophet (SAW)) frowned and turned away, (1) Because there came to
him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullâh bin Umm-Maktûm, who came to the Prophet (SAW)
while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs) (2) And how can you know
that he might become pure (from sins)? (3) Or that he might receive admonition,
and that the admonition might profit him? (4) As for him who thinks
himself self-sufficient, (5) To him you attend; (6) What does it matter
to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief, you are only a Messenger,
your duty is to convey the Message of Allâh) (7) But as to him who
came to you running (8) And is afraid (of Allâh and His Punishment), (9) Of him you are
neglectful and divert your attention to another, (10) Nay, (do not do like

you and your cattle. (32) Then, when there comes As-Sâkhkhah (the second blowing of
the Trumpet on the Day of Resurrection) — (33) That
Day shall a man flee from his brother, (34) And from his mother and his father, (35) And from his wife and
his children. (36) Everyman, that Day, will have enough to make him careless of
