88. Surat Al-Ghashiyah (The Overwhelming)
Arabic and English translation and transliteration

Period of Revelation
Mecca

Introduction
Like many other surahs in the Qur'an, Al Ghashiyah addresses humankind with its message through fear and hope, promises and threats. The title Al Ghashiyah denotes the day of reckoning, focusing more on the faces that will experience it rather than the apocalyptic cosmic event. In the third passage God invites mankind to observe and reflect on all aspects of the universe and its creatures.
Then God instructs Prophet Muhammad that his task is only to remind people. The human beings by nature are forgetful and by habit preoccupied and caught up with the concerns of the world. They are also accountable for making their own decisions.
And then the surah ends with the final reminder.
"Indeed, to Us is their return
Then indeed, upon Us is their account."
