Learn Sūrat al-Ghāshiyah
Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat al-Ghāshiyah is about
Sūrat al-Ghāshiyah has 26 āyāt in the thirtieth juzʼ. It opens with a question: has the news of the Overwhelming reached you (88:1)? On that Day some faces are humbled, toiling and weary, in a blazing fire (88:2–4). Other faces are joyful, pleased with their efforts, in a lofty garden (88:8–10).
The sūrah then asks people to look at what is around them: the camel and how it was created, the sky and how it was raised, the mountains and how they were set up, the earth and how it was spread out (88:17–20). The Prophet is told to remind, for he is only a reminder, not a controller over them (88:21–22). To Allah is their return and their reckoning (88:25–26).
- Āyāt 1–7
Humbled faces
Has the news of the Overwhelming reached you? Some faces that Day are humbled, toiling and weary, entering a blazing fire. They drink from a boiling spring and eat only a thorny plant that neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger.
- Āyāt 8–16
Joyful faces
Some faces that Day are joyful, pleased with their efforts, in a lofty garden where they hear no idle talk. In it are a flowing spring, raised couches, cups set out, cushions in rows and carpets spread.
- Āyāt 17–26
Look at the camel
Do they not look at the camel and how it was created, the sky and how it was raised, the mountains and how they were set up, and the earth and how it was spread out (88:17–20)? So remind; you are only a reminder, not a controller over them. To Allah is their return, then their reckoning.
