Parables and Signs:
Surah Al-Waqiah employs various parables and signs to convey its messages, encouraging reflection on the natural world and the signs of God's creation as evidence of His existence and power.

The Quran as a Glorious Revelation:
The surah emphasizes the divine origin of the Quran, describing it as a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
