# 80 He frowned (Abasa) Explanation of # 80 He frowned (Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful

He (the Prophet) frowned and turned away[1] when there came to him the blind man (Ibn Umme Maktüm, who came to the Prophet and interrupted his conversation with the chiefs of Makkah).[2] How could you tell? He might have sought to purify himself[3] or become reminded and might have benefited from Our reminder.[4] As for him who is indifferent,[5] to whom you were attending;[6] you will not be held responsible if he would not purify himself.[7] Yet to him who came to you with zeal on his own[8] and with fear of Allah in his heart,[9] you gave no heed.[10] It should not be so! Indeed, this is but an admonition;[11] let him who wants, accept it.[12] It is written in scrolls, which are honored,[13] exalted, purified,[14] and which remain in the hands of scribes,[15] who are noble and virtuous.[16]

80:[1-16]

The seekers of guidance should be given preference in conveying Allah's message

Woe to man! What a disbeliever he is![17] Out of what Allah has created him?[18] Out of a semen-drop! Allah created him and then fashioned him in due proportion,[19] then makes his way of life smooth for him,[20] then causes him to die and stows him in a grave.[21] Then He will surely bring him back to life when He pleases.[22] By no means has he fulfilled the duty that Allah had assigned him.[23] Let man reflect on the food he eats,[24] How We pour down rainwater in abundance[25] and cleave the soil asunder.[26] How We bring forth grain,[27] grapes and nutritious vegetation;[28] olives and dates,[29] lush gardens,[30] fruits and fodder,[31] as a means of sustenance for you and your cattle.[32]

80:[17-32]

Recognize your Creator and fulfill your obligations

Finally when there will come the deafening blast,[33] on that Day each man shall flee from his own brother,[34] his mother and his father,[35] his wife and his children.[36] For each one of them, on that Day, shall have enough concern of his own to make him indifferent to the others.[37] Some faces on that Day shall be shining,[38] smiling and joyful.[39] And some faces on that Day shall be dusty[40] and veiled with darkness.[41] These shall be the faces of the disbelieving wicked.[42]

80:[33-42]

On the Day of Judgment, no one shall care about his own mother, father, brother or children

Major Issues, Divine Law and Guidance:

* The commandment that the seekers of guidance should be given prefer- ence in conveying Allah’s message
* Man is reminded to recognize his Creator.
* On the Day of Judgement man will be so concerned about himself that he will not even care about his own mother, father, brother or children.

Upon reading the opening words of this Sürah one feels that in this Sürah Allah has expressed His displeasure against the Prophet (pbuh) for his treating the blind man with indifference and attending to the big chiefs exclusively. But in reading the whole Sürah objectively, one finds that the displeasure, in fact, is expressed against the disbelieving Qureysh, who, because of their arrogant attitude and indifference, were rejecting the message of truth with contempt.

The error in the method that the Prophet adopted at the start of his mission is also pointed out. His treating of the blind man with neglect and disregard, and consequently devoting all of his attention to the Qureysh chiefs was not because he regarded the rich as noble and a poor blind man as contemptible. Naturally, when a caller to the Truth embarks on the mission of conveying his message to people, he wants the most influential people of society to accept the message so his task becomes easier. Almost the same attitude the Prophet (upon whom be peace) had adopted in the beginning, an attitude of sincerity and a desire to promote his mission and not out of respect for the rich people and hatred for the poor. But Allah made him realize the correct method of extending invitation to Islam and his mission’s point of view: every man, who was a seeker of the truth, was important, even if he was weak, or poor, and every man, who was heedless to the truth, was unimportant, even if he occupied a high position in society.
