Surah Al Ghashiyah

Surah Al-Ghashiyah, meaning “The Overwhelming” in English, is the 88th chapter of the Quran. Located in the 30th Juz (section) of the Quran, it’s a Makki Surah, revealed in Makkah during the early years of Islam. This short but powerful surah, with only 26 verses, talks about the Day of Judgement and the different outcomes people will face.

Surah Al-Ghashiyah doesn’t go into extensive details, but it paints a picture of a very serious day – the Day of Judgement. Here’s a breakdown of the key points in a way that’s easy to understand:

• A Day of Surprise and Overwhelming Fear: The surah describes a day that will come unexpectedly and overwhelm people with fear. Imagine a day so different from anything we’ve ever experienced, filled with awe and consequence.
• Two Groups and Their Fates: The surah talks about two groups of people – those who receive their record of good deeds with happiness (right hand) and those who receive their record of bad deeds with disappointment (left hand).
• Facing the Consequences: Everyone will be held accountable for their actions in this life. Those who did good deeds will be rewarded with Paradise, and those who did bad deeds will be punished.
