About Sura Abasa -sound, translation

Sūra ʿAbasa (Arabic: سورة عَبَسَ, literally: He Frowned) is the eightieth sura of Qur'an. It is a Makki sura of Qur'an which is located in the thirtieth juz'. This sura is called Abasa because it starts with the word. This sura is about the value and significance of Qur'an, man's ingratitude toward God's blessings, the horrifying incidents of the Resurrection Day and the fate of humans in that day.

In the first verses of this sura, God condemned a person who treated a blind person badly. There are disagreements among the exegetes about the identity of the condemned person; whether he was Prophet Muhammad (s) or someone else.

The thirty four to thirty seven verses of this sura are important, as they describe the Resurrection, when people will flee from their relatives including their brothers, mothers, fathers, spouses, and children. As stated in narrations, those who recite Sura Abasa will be happy and pleased in the Day of Judgment.
