Shrah Ghashiya

It is a Meccan surah that mainly discusses the following three themes:

- The state and outcomes of people in the Hereafter, based on their deeds in this world. The surah describes the faces of the believers and the disbelievers, as well as some of the blessings and punishments that await them in Paradise and Hell.

- The invitation to observe the signs of Allah's creation, such as the camel, the sky, the mountains, and the earth. The surah urges people to reflect on how these things have been created and what they imply about Allah's power and wisdom.

- The role of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as a reminder for the people. The surah clarifies that he is not a controller or a guardian over them, but only a warner who conveys the message of Allah.
