Surah Abasa, the 80th chapter of the Quran, takes its name from the word “Abasa,” which means “He frowned.” The Surah begins by describing an incident where the Prophet Muhammad frowned upon a blind man who approached him while he was engaged in conversation with the Quraysh leaders. Allah, in response, gently reminds the Prophet about the priorities of delivering the message and treating everyone with kindness.
The Surah then shifts to discuss various aspects of creation, emphasizing Allah’s power and the resurrection of humans after death. It stresses that people will be resurrected and held accountable for their deeds, and the Quran serves as a guidance for those who choose to believe. Surah Abasa encourages reflection on the signs of Allah in the natural world and the consequences of one’s actions in the Hereafter.
