The mention of earthquake here is not the ordinary, or even severe earthquakes, that we witness, which are mostly restricted to an area. So that they will become floating dust particles. And the mountains will be powdered to dust. When the earth will be shaken with a terrible shake. It will bring low (some) (and others) it will exalt 4. And there can be no denying of its befalling. The opening of the surah adequately signifies that it is to answer those pagans and disbelievers who would often mock Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) whenever He talked of the afterlife.ġ. For this reason, the chapter is one of the most recited of the Quran.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has been reported as saying that whoever recites Al-Waqi'ah every night "shall never be afflicted by need". However, here three types of people are mentioned who would be rewarded and punished for the extra good, good and bad deeds. In fact this surah explains the rewards and punishments as already mentioned in the previous surah, Surah Ar Rehman, the 55th surah of the Holy Qur'an. Though it is a pity that despite forewarning the pagans of Makkah of the punishment that would be meted out to them for their stubbornness to accept the reality of the Day of Resurrection and who continued to mock the Prophet of Allah for frightening them of something that they would not be able to see as they would be long dead. The main theme revolves around the Day of Judgment, rather it very beautifully paints the End Day with lot of details leaving no ambiguity in the minds of the believers and the disbelievers as to how they will be treated and awarded and rewarded.
The surah by the subject it contains is described by many as the Meccan surah. Sūrah Al-Waqi'ah is the fifty sixth surah with 96 ayahs with three rukus, part of the 27th Juzʼ of the Holy Qur'an.
