Quran 88:17~20
Do they not ever reflect on camels— how they were ˹masterfully˺ created; and the sky— how it was raised ˹high˺; and the mountains— how they were firmly set up; and the earth— how it was levelled out? Quran 88:17~20 Surah al-Ghashiyah (The Overwhelming Calamity)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ “Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?” [88:1].

أَفَلَا یَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَیۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ كَیۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَیۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَیۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ
The Surah talks about the coming calamity that will cover everything.
Humanity will be divided into two groups: the frightened, tired and exhausted group, and the joyful and happy group.
The Prophet is told to remind people.
His mission is to remind only, not to impose the message.
Allah will make the final judgment.
پھر کیا وہ اونٹوں کی طرف نہیں دیکھتے کہ کیسے بنائے گئے ہیں اور آسمان کی طرف کہ کیسے بلند کیے گئے ہیں اور پہاڑوں کی طرف کہ کیسے کھڑے کیے گئے ہیں اور زمین کی طرف کہ کیسے بچھائی گئی ہے
This surah refers to three broad-ranging topics. First, God describes the difference between good and evil paths that an individual can take and the consequence of each path. God then clarifies their destiny and describes what hell would be like for the non-believers.
The second theme mentions the creations God has made, referring to the sky, the earth, and the mountains.
Lastly, in verses 21–22, God gives a direct message to Muhammad and tells him,
“So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. You are not over them a controller.”
