Revealed in Makkah, Surah Al-Ghashiyah (The Overwhelming) describes the Day of Judgment as an overwhelming event that will humiliate the disbelievers and fill the believers with joy. It invites humanity to ponder the creation of camels, the sky, the mountains, and the earth as signs of divine power, concluding that the Prophet's duty is simply to remind, not to control, as all return to God.
