Tafsir surat al waqiah
The theme of Surat Al Waqiah is the Hereafter, Tawhid and refutation of the Makkan disbelievers’ suspicions about the Qur’an. Ibn Masood said I have heard Prophet of God PBUH saying, ‘He who recites Surah Waqiah every night, Poverty or Need will never afflict him.” This is the reason this Surah is one of the most recited of the Quran. Surah Hud, Waqiah, Mursalat, Naba, and Takwir have made me gray. Then it tells the description and condition of each group - the rewards or punishment they would face.Ību Ishaq reported that Abu Bakr said, “O Prophet of God PBUH! You are becoming gray” The Messenger replied,

It states that on the Last Day, all Mankind will be divided into three groups. The Surah talks mainly about the Last day and depicts the whole scanioro in a powerful discourse. Thus it shows that this Surah had been revealed even before Surah Taha in Mecca around 6 to 7 years before migration to Madina. Her sister replied that “None can touch it except the purified” Which is a clear verse of Surah Waqiah. They support their claim from the background of Surah Taha that when Umar bin Khattab after hearing about his sister’s embracement of Islam went to his sister’s house in anger and beaten his sister and brother in Law than it ended with his asking his sister to give him what she was reciting.
