The Qur'anic chapter Surah Al-Waqi'ah is a powerful discourse on the reality of the Hereafter. Revealed in Makkah, it comprises 96 verses and was revealed after Surah Taha. This chapter paints a vivid picture of the Day of Judgment, categorizing people into three distinct groups and detailing their respective rewards and punishments. It also emphasizes divine blessings in nature and affirms the resurrection as a certainty.
📖 Surah Al-Waqi'ah shares a thematic connection with Surah Ar-Rahman as both discuss the Day of Judgment, Heaven, and Hell.
🔹 Surah Ar-Rahman describes the splitting of the sky:
➡️ "When the sky is split apart and becomes like a red rose, like oil." (55:37)
🔹 Surah Al-Waqi'ah highlights the convulsion of the earth:
➡️ "When the Event befalls—there is no denying its occurrence! It will bring down some and raise others." (56:1-3)
These complementary descriptions make both surahs almost like two halves of a single narrative.
On the Day of Judgment, humanity will be divided into three distinct groups:
✅ The righteous believers who will be granted eternal bliss. ✅ Their reward is lush gardens, flowing springs, and luxurious comfort.
❌ The disbelievers who denied the truth. ❌ Their fate is scorching fire, boiling water, and unbearable suffering.
🏆 The elite group who excelled in faith and deeds. 🏆 Their reward is exalted status, proximity to Allah, and endless blessings.
