Summarized notes on Surah Abasa

Don't ignore anyone who shows even a small interest in God. Those who don't need guidance/reminder will be punished, and it is not the fault [of Muhammad (PBUH)] if they are not purified. They are ungrateful even after God created them just a drop of semen, and gave provisions and food. On the Last Day, it will be every man for himself. On that Day, believers will rejoice.

The Quran is clearly revelation from the One God, Who created all. The word Quran means recitation. Read about its compilation here - Islamweb.net.
