Surah Al-Waqiah is widely known as the Surah of Wealth. It is narrated that whoever recites it every night will never be afflicted by poverty. Daily recitation keeps the heart attached to the Hereafter, increases gratitude, strengthens trust in Allah (tawakkul), and invites barakah into one's earnings and household. It also reminds the reader of the Day of Judgement and the three groups of people — which naturally refines a person's character and priorities.

The most recommended time is after Maghrib or before going to sleep, following the practice attributed to Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). Many also recite it after Fajr or at any quiet moment of the day. What matters most is consistency — a small daily habit is better than an occasional long session.

Surah Al-Waqiah contains exactly 96 Ayat. It is the 56th Surah of the Holy Qur'an, classified as Meccan (Makki), and it is located in Juz 27.

Surah Al-Waqiah famously describes three groups of people on the Day of Judgement:

• As-Sabiqun (The Forerunners) — the nearest to Allah, the elite of the righteous (verses 10–11)
• Ashab al-Yamin (Companions of the Right) — the people of paradise, in comfort and joy (verses 27–40)
• Ashab ash-Shimal (Companions of the Left) — the people of the left, who receive their record in their left hand and face punishment (verses 41–56)

These three categories give the reader a clear framework for self-assessment.

This tool uses the Uthmani script (also called Madani Mushaf script), which is the standard for printed Qur'ans worldwide. It includes complete Tashkeel (Harakat — the vowel marks) so that the text can be read accurately even by readers who are not fluent in classical Arabic. The font used is Amiri — an industry-standard Arabic calligraphic font.

However, it is highly recommended to recite the Arabic text as well, since the Qur'an's spiritual and linguistic miracle is preserved in its original Arabic form. English translation is a scholarly interpretation of the meaning — it is not the Qur'an itself.
