88:1 Has the news of the Dominating Event reached you?1
Note 1
This is the 88th Surah of the Qur’an. It has 26 verses. Ghashiyah is something that covers like a blanket. Al-Ghashiyah implies a dominating or overwhelming event that overshadows other things, and thus, refers to the Great Cosmic Revolution, often termed as 'the Apocalypse'.
Reward and Punishment are built in our actions. God’s Law of Requital returns what a person has earned and everyone determines his own destiny by what he does with his human capacities. So, recompense is only a logical culmination of one’s own deeds.
Allama Sir Muhammad Iqbal d.1938, echoed this Qur’anic theme beautifully in one of his poems: The Hellfire is nothing but a cool place. It is people that carry their own fire to Hell.
With the Glorious Name of God, the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness

Note 2
According to Al-Qiffal (as quoted by Razi), this kind of hellish drink and food is a metonym for utter hopelessness and abasement. As regards the noun dari' - which is said to be a bitter, thorny plant in its dried state (Jawhari) - it is to be borne in mind that it is derived from the verb dara'a or dari'a, which signifies "he [or "it"] became abject" or "abased" (ibid.): hence my rendering of this (obviously metaphorical) expression as "the bitterness of dry thorns". A similarly metaphorical meaning attaches to the expression "a boiling spring" in verse 5, which recalls the term hamim so often mentioned in the Qur'an (see note 62 on the last sentence of 6:70).

88:17 Will they not look at the camels/clouds, how are they created?1
Note 1
As God's marvelous creation, we are given a limited power to mimic God's creation and create. Mimicking the marvelous organs and functions of plants and animals has always been an inspiration for inventors. Recently, engineers turned more seriously to biology for inspiration which led to the establishment of a new scientific field called Biomimicry. We all know the example of Velcro, which was inspired by barbs on weed seeds. According to the information provided by the Biomimicry Guild, the application of this new science in technology is limitless. For instance, the hydrodynamic design of fish is now inspiring car designers to increase cars’ aerodynamics, the morpho-butterfly is teaching fabric manufacturers to create structural colors without dyes, and the gecko lizard with tiny split hairs under its feet is inspiring chemists to come up with perfect adhesives. The examples are many. For instance, Orb-weaver spider silk for manufacturing fiber (used in parachute wires, suspension bridge cables, protective clothing, etc.) without using heat, high pressure, or toxic chemicals. Porcupine quills are a source of inspiration for agronomists to breed better wind resistance in wheat and barley, Rhesus monkeys for new sources of nutrient minerals… Sharks and other marine creatures that live with all kinds of pathogens for new antibiotics. Abalone mussel nacre for manufacturing lightweight but fracture-resistant windshields and bodies of solar cars, and airplanes. Antlers teeth, bones and shells with their natural biomineralization for building 3-D objects layer by layer using CAD, and ink-jet technology. Blue mussel adhesive for making paints and coatings that do not need primer or catalysts to work. Elastin, the elastic protein in the heart muscle for materials and fibers that can stretch and contract in response to heat, light, and chemical changes. Fish antifreeze to freeze human transplant organs without injury… For more information on the subject, you may visit www.biomimicry.net.

88:17 Will they not look at the camels, how were they created?
Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
88:17 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created?5
Note 5
Implying that a denial of resurrection and life in the hereafter renders the concept of a conscious Creator utterly meaningless; hence my interpretation of the words "who deny resurrection" in the first part of this verse. - As regards the noun ibil, it denotes, as a rule, "camels": a generic plural which has no singular form. But one must remember that it also signifies "clouds bearing rain-water" (Lisan al-'Arab, Qamus, Taj al-'Arus) - a meaning which is preferable in the present context. If the term were used in the sense of "camels", the reference to it in the above verse would have been primarily - if not exclusively - addressed to the Arabian contemporaries of the Prophet, to whom the camel was always an object of admiration on account of its outstanding endurance, the many uses to which it could be put (riding, load-bearing, and as a source of milk, flesh and fine wool) and its indispensability to people living amid deserts. But precisely because a reference to "camels" would restrict its significance to people of a particular environment and a particular time (without even the benefit of a historical allusion to past events), it must be ruled out here, for the Qur'anic appeals to observe the wonders of the God-created universe are invariably directed at people of all times and all environments. Hence, there is every reason to assume that the term ibil relates here not to camels but to "clouds pregnant with water": the more so as such an allusion to the miraculous, cyclic process of the evaporation of water, the skyward ascension of vapour, its condensation and, finally, its precipitation over the earth is definitely more in tune with the subsequent mention (in verses 18-20) of sky, mountains and earth, than would be a reference to "camels", however admirable and noteworthy these animals may be.
