About Surah 'Abasa

'Abasa, “He Frowned”, was revealed when the blind companion 'Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum came to the Prophet ﷺ seeking guidance while he was speaking with leaders of Quraysh. The surah gently teaches that the sincere seeker deserves attention.

It then reflects on man's creation and the food Allah provides, and describes the Day when a man will flee from his brother, his mother, his father, his wife and his children.

  1. عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ ﴿١﴾

    80:2 Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

  3. وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

    80:3 But what would make you perceive, [O Muḥammad], that perhaps he might be purified

  4. أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ﴿٤﴾

    80:4 Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

  5. أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

    80:5 As for he who thinks himself without need,

  6. فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ﴿٦﴾

    80:6 To him you give attention.

  7. وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ﴿٧﴾

  9. وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

    80:9 While he fears [Allāh],

  10. فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

    80:10 From him you are distracted.

  11. كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ﴿١١﴾

    80:19 From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

  20. ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ ﴿٢٠﴾

    80:20 Then He eased the way for him;

  21. ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ ﴿٢١﴾
