Surah Abasa (Chapter 80 of the Quran) is about Allah’s admonishment of Prophet Muhammad for frowning on a blind man who sought guidance. It emphasizes the importance of showing respect to all, especially those seeking truth, and highlights the ultimate Day of Judgment where everyone will face their own concerns. The surah also touches upon the importance of the Quran, man’s ungratefulness, and the abundance of Allah’s blessings. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

• The Blind Man:The surah begins by recounting an incident where Prophet Muhammad, while engaged in conversation with Meccan chieftains, frowned upon a blind man named Ibn Umm Maktum, who interrupted them to learn more about the Quran. 
• Allah’s Admonishment:Allah reprimanded the Prophet for this seemingly insignificant action, highlighting the importance of showing respect and attention to those seeking guidance, regardless of their social status. 
• The Quran’s Importance:The surah emphasizes the honor and significance of the Quran, which is written in exalted and pure volumes. 
• Man’s Ungratefulness:It also points out man’s often ungrateful nature, failing to appreciate the numerous blessings of Allah. 
• The Day of Judgment:The surah briefly mentions the Day of Judgment, when people will flee their relatives and be preoccupied with their own concerns. 
• Lessons for Muslims:Surah Abasa teaches Muslims to be mindful of their actions and words, especially towards those seeking knowledge and guidance, and to recognize the importance of all people, regardless of their status.
