Surah Waqiah, the 56th chapter of the Quran, primarily focuses on the Day of Judgment and the afterlife, outlining the different fates individuals will face. It describes the separation of people into three groups: the “foremost,” who will be closest to Allah, the “companions of the right,” the righteous, and the “companions of the left,” who will go to hell. The surah also details the beauty and rewards of Paradise for those who are righteous. 

Here’s a more detailed look:

• The Day of Judgment:The surah begins by describing the Day of Resurrection, a time of great upheaval and separation. 
• Three Groups:The surah then introduces the three groups: the foremost, who are closest to Allah and will be rewarded with Paradise; the companions of the right, who will also enter Paradise; and the companions of the left, who will be punished in hell. 
• Paradise:Surah Waqiah vividly depicts the wonders of Paradise, including the gardens of delight, thrones of gold and precious stones, and the presence of Houris (fair women). 
• Reward for Actions:The surah emphasizes that individuals will be rewarded based on their righteous deeds in the afterlife. 
• Depiction of Hell:While focusing on Paradise, Surah Waqiah also briefly mentions the horrors of hell, emphasizing the consequences of bad actions.
