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.
