Summary
Surah Al-Waqiah, the 56th surah of the Quran, discusses the reality of the Day of Judgment, the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, and the consequences each group will face. It is named after the Arabic word “Waqiah,” which means “the Inevitable Event” or “the Great Event.” The surah consists of 96 verses.
The surah begins by highlighting the certainty and inevitability of the Day of Judgment. It describes the different categories of people who will be present on that day and their respective destinations: the foremost, who will be among the closest to Allah, the people of the right hand, who will be blessed and rewarded, and the people of the left hand, who will face punishment and humiliation.
Surah Al-Waqiah emphasizes the power and majesty of Allah as the Creator and Sustainer of all things. It highlights the signs of His creation in the heavens and the earth, the alternation of night and day, and the provision He has bestowed upon His creation.
The surah presents a contrast between the blessings and rewards of the righteous and the punishment and regrets of the wicked. It describes the gardens of Paradise, with its abundant fruits and shade, as the ultimate reward for those who strive in the cause of Allah and fear His accountability.
Surah Al-Waqiah warns against the worldly attachments and distractions that can divert one from the remembrance of Allah and the pursuit of righteousness. It highlights the transient nature of worldly possessions and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the Hereafter.
The surah calls upon humanity to reflect upon the Quran and its divine origin. It emphasizes that it is not the words of a poet or a soothsayer but a revelation from Allah, the Lord of all worlds.
Surah Al-Waqiah concludes by affirming the power and ability of Allah to resurrect and bring back to life, just as He initiated creation in the first place. It reminds humanity of the importance of being conscious of Allah’s presence and being mindful of one’s actions in preparation for the Day of Judgment.
In summary, Surah Al-Waqiah discusses the reality of the Day of Judgment, highlights the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, and emphasizes the consequences each group will face. The surah calls for reflection upon the signs of Allah’s creation, warns against worldly distractions, and reminds believers of the importance of prioritizing the Hereafter.
