How to read the Hangul

الرَّحْمَٰنِ르^r라흐마니 بِسْمِ비스밀

• 비Bold = the stressed syllable of the word; a little stronger.
• 마Overline = long vowel (madd): hold it about two beats. Length matters most in recitation.
• 스Tiny = no vowel in the Arabic here — just the consonant, short.
• ^r라Small Latin letter = a sound Korean lacks, on the next syllable: f upper teeth on lower lip · θ/ð tongue tip between the teeth · r rolled tongue tip (a bare ㄹ is l).

• 기Bold, larger (ˈ) = say it strong and a little longer — the stressed syllable.
• 닝Faint = weak and short (a reduced vowel). Don't give every syllable equal weight.
• 트Tiny 으 · 트 · 스 = barely voiced. English has no vowel there — stop on the consonant.
• 더Whole word faint (the, of, and, to…) = light and quick in a sentence; stress the content words.
• ^f팬Small f v θ ð r = sounds Korean doesn't have — f: upper teeth on the lower lip; v: the same, voiced; θ/ð: tongue tip between the teeth; r: tongue curled back, touching nothing.

About this surah

Classed as a Meccan sura, it begins with a question: has news come to you of the Overwhelming Event? It then describes two groups of faces on that Day. The humbled faces are exhausted, burning in a scorching Fire, given water from a boiling spring and thorny food that neither nourishes nor satisfies hunger. The joyful faces are pleased with their striving and live in a lofty Garden where no idle talk is heard, with a flowing spring, raised couches, cups, cushions and carpets. The sura then turns to the world around its listeners, asking them to look at how camels are created, how the sky is raised, how mountains are set firm and how the earth is spread out. It ends by telling the one addressed that he is only a reminder, not a controller over people; their return and their reckoning belong to God.

• The Day of Judgement
• Two kinds of faces
• Fire and Garden
• Signs in nature
• The task of reminding

The name It takes its name from 'the Overwhelming [Event]' (al-Ghashiyah) in verse 1, which the following verses describe as 'that Day'.
