CLOSING PRAYER
Ya Allah (O Allah), we praise You, the Great, the Glorious. We thank You for warning us of the Inevitable Event through Surah Al-Waqi’ah word by word.
O Razzaq (The Provider), we ask You by the barakah of this Surah to protect us from poverty and destitution. Make us among the “Sabiqun” (The Foremost) who are drawn near to You in Gardens of Pleasure. Save us from being among the “Companions of the Left” and the punishment of the Scorching Fire. Grant us a good ending and ease at the time of death.
Do not let this knowledge remain only on our tongues; transform it into righteous action in our lives. Accept this humble effort from us, for truly, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Ameen.
How the Word-by-Word Analysis of Surah Al-Waqi’ah Works
Unlike standard translations that give you the general meaning of a sentence, this page utilizes a unique “Full Context” Method. We display the data in two distinct layers to ensure you never lose the flow of Surah Al-Waqi’ah:
- Top Row (Context): Read the Complete Arabic Verse alongside the Full English Translation to grasp the overall message and narrative of the Surah.
- Bottom Row (Analysis): Dive into the Word-by-Word breakdown to see the exact meaning, spelling, and root origin of every single word in sequence.
Understanding the Color–Coded Grammar Guide for Surah Al-Waqi’ah
Learn Quranic Arabic grammar (Nahw & Sarf) intuitively while you read. This resource replaces complex textbook rules with immediate visual cues. Every word in Surah Al-Waqi’ah is presented as an interactive “Grammar Card” featuring instant color-coding:
- Noun (Ism): Marked in Blue (Names, places, objects).
- Verb (Fi’l): Marked in Red (Actions, tenses).
- Particle (Harf): Marked in Green (Prepositions, connecting words).
This visual aid helps you instantly recognize sentence structures and parts of speech within the verses, aiding in faster retention and comprehension.
Transliteration & Pronunciation of Surah Al-Waqi’ah
You do not need to be fluent in reading Arabic script to start reciting. Perfect your pronunciation with the Tajweed-friendly Transliteration included on every word card. This phonetic guide helps you pronounce challenging words in Surah Al-Waqi’ah correctly, connecting the sound directly to the meaning.
Quranic Statistics: Building Vocabulary through Surah Al-Waqi’ah
Many students feel overwhelmed by the vastness of the Quran, but the numbers prove it is achievable. The Quran is composed of approximately 77,797 total words, yet the vocabulary is highly repetitive.
- Total Unique Words: Approximately 14,870.
- Actual Root Words: Only ~2,000 words.
By reading Surah Al-Waqi’ah word-by-word, you are learning the essential root words found in this chapter. Since these roots repeat frequently throughout the Quran, mastering the vocabulary in these verses directly contributes to understanding the entire Holy Book.
Enhance Your Salah with Surah Al-Waqi’ah
During the five daily prayers, a Muslim recites and repeats an average of 200-250 Arabic words. If these words are not understood, the mind often wanders. Reading Surah Al-Waqi’ah word-by-word helps you recognize this vocabulary in real-time. When you stand for prayer and recite verses from this Surah, you will finally understand exactly what you are saying to your Creator, leading to:
- Khushu (Focus): A concentrated mind during Salah.
- Quality: A higher spiritual quality of worship.
- Connection: An immediate, emotional connection to the recitation.
