Surah 80. Abasa, Ayah 1
| عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ |
| Transliteration | : | cabasa wa- tawallaa |
| Pickthall | : | He frowned and turned away |
| Asad | : | HE FROWNED and turned away |
| Malik | : | Section 1 He (the Prophet) frowned and turned away |
| Yusuf Ali | : | The (Prophet) frowned and turned away. 5950 |
Note - 5950See the Introduction to this Sura for the incident to
which this refers. The lesson is that neither spiritual
worth nor the prospect of effective spiritual guidance is
to be measured by a man's position in life. The poor, or
the blind, the halt, or the maimed, may be more
susceptible to the teaching of Allah's Word than men who
are apparently gifted, but who suffer from arrogance and
self-sufficiency.
