This Surah was revealed in Makkah and it has 96 ayaat. The Holy Prophet (S) has said that a person who recites this Surah will not be from among the absent-minded ones. Poverty does not come near this person. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) said that the one who recites Surah al-Waqi’ah will have a shining face of the Day of Reckoning. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) that whoever recites this Surah on every Friday, will be from those whom Allah (S.w.T.) loves and he will be loved
