‘Abasa 80:36
He Frowned · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 585
Fleeing from the Beloved
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ ٣٦
And his wife and his children.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And his mother and father, and his wife and children.
Insight
Elmalılı sees an escalation: starting from the brother, the fleeing grows with the degree of closeness and love; parents, spouse and children are the most beloved.
Reflect
Tell your family you love them today; on that day you may not be able to.
