56: (Al-Waqi'ah)- The Inevitable Event

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

Number of Verses: 96

Sūra al-Wāqiʿa, (Arabic: سورة الواقعه) is the fifty sixth sura of the quran. It is a makki sura located in  juz twenty seven. Al-Waqi'a is one of the names of resurrection and is mentioned in the first verse of this sura.

Sura al-Waqi'a is about the resurrection and its events. It divides people to the three groups of people of the right hand  (Ashab al-Yamin), peple of the left hand (Ashab al-Shimal) and the  foremost (al-Sabiqun) and speaks about the position and rewards or punishments of each group. It is mentioned in commentaries that the perfect example of the third group, the Foremost, is imam ali (a) who preceded others in believing in the prophet muhammad (s).

Many merits are mentioned for recitation of this sura, including that about whoever recites this sura, it will be written that he is not among the ignorant.

The Chapter was revealed in Mecca and it has 96 Verses. The title of the Chapter, Waqi'a, is a designation of Resurrection whose imminence is prognosticated in the opening Verse. The majority of the blessed Verses of the Chapter treat of Resurrection, its qualities and happenings, and division of mankind into peoples of Hell and Paradise on that Day. Thus, recitation of the Chapter is awakening.

Numerous traditions are to be found in Islamic sources concerning the recitation of the Chapter an instance of which is a Prophetic tradition according to which:

"One who recites Surah al-Waqi'a will be excluded from the neglectful."

The blessed Verses of the Chapter are so shocking and awakening that no room is left for human neglect. It is narrated from Imam Sadiq (as):

"Whoever recites Surah al-Waqi'a every Friday night, God Almighty will like him and will make him to be loved by all people. He will never suffer hardships, poverty, destitution, and other worldly afflictions. He will be amongst the friends of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam 'Ali (as)."

It goes without saying that such Blessings may not fall into the lot of one who merely recites the blessed Verses of the Chapter without attending to their significance, but recitation is supposed to follow intellection and acting upon Divine Injunctions.
