The summary/theme of the surah  al-ghashiyah

This Surah is situated among the Meccan Surahs and its main themes are Resurrection, Monotheism, and Prophecy. It speaks of the distinct fates of the Righteous and Wrongdoers in the Hereafter, as well as stressing the tremendousness of God's creation of the sky, land, and mountains to act as reminders to mankind. It also imparts some responsibilities that were put on Prophet Muhammad (S). Across all these points, like other Meccan Surahs, this one helps to build a robust foundation for religion and faith.
