Sorah Abasa ( He frowned ) - Verses Number 42
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 1 ) 
(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ ( 2 )
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ ( 3 )
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?-
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ ( 4 )
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 5 )
As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ ( 6 )
To him dost thou attend;
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ( 7 )
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ( 8 )
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ( 9 )
And with fear (in his heart),
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ( 10 )
Of him wast thou unmindful.
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ( 11 )
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ ( 12 )
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
فِي صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ ( 13 )
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍ ( 14 )
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ ( 15 )
(Written) by the hands of scribes-
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ ( 16 )
Honourable and Pious and Just.
قُتِلَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ ( 17 )
Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah;
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ( 18 )
From what stuff hath He created him?
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ ( 19 )
From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions;
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ ( 20 )
Then doth He make His path smooth for him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ ( 21 )
Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave;
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنشَرَهُ ( 22 )
Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again).
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ ( 23 )
By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِ ( 24 )
Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it):
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا ( 25 )
For that We pour forth water in abundance,
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا ( 26 )
And We split the earth in fragments,
فَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا ( 27 )
And produce therein corn,
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا ( 28 )
And Grapes and nutritious plants,
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا ( 29 )
And Olives and Dates,
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا ( 30 )
And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees,
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا ( 31 )
And fruits and fodder,-
مَّتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ( 32 )
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ ( 33 )
At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,-
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ( 34 )
That Day shall a man flee from his own brother,
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ ( 35 )
And from his mother and his father,
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ ( 36 )
And from his wife and his children.
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ( 37 )
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ ( 38 )
Some faces that Day will be beaming,
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ( 39 )
Laughing, rejoicing.
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ( 40 )
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained,
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ( 41 )
Blackness will cover them:
أُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ ( 42 )
Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity.

- Islam Its Foundations and ConceptsThe author said in the introduction, “I write this book to invite people to the religion of Allaah … I briefly explained herein the story of the creation of the Universe, the creation of man and how he was favoured by sending Messengers to him and situation of past religions. I afterwards made an introduction to Islaam as per its meaning and pillars. So, whoever is looking for guidance will find its evidences therein, whoever is looking for salvation may find that I have explained the way to it in this book, whoever desires to follow the track of the Prophets, Messengers and righteous people will find their path herein while those who turn away from their way only befools themselves and take to the straying path. It is a matter of fact that adherents of each religion call others to it and believe that truth only abide in their religion … Thousands of those who embraced Islaam have testified that they did not know real life until after they embraced Islaam and that they did never tasted happiness except under the shade of Islaam. Since it is a fact that every human being looks for happiness, peace of mind and truth, I prepare this work to help them achieve that. I pray that Allaah makes this work purely for His sake and let it be well-accepted and make it one of those righteous deeds that will benefit its doer in this world and the next.”

- The Prophetic MedicineThis book is the panacea for those in search of good health. It is a magnificent work that is a treasure every Muslim household. Although it was written by the author, Ibn Al-Qayyim, over six hundred years ago, it is extremely timely work for our generation in which health and natural health care products have become an important aspect of the lives of so many. The author presents the guidance of the Prophet in dealing with a variety of health issues, including treatment of ailment and preventive remedies to keep the body fit. As the Qur'an and Sunnah are the main sources of Islamic lifestyle, it only stands to reason that they should likewise be referred to in the matters of health and fitness. This is the approach taken by Ibn Al-Qayyim as he presents Verses of the Qur'an and statements of the Prophet as his main reference in these issues of health and medicines.
