Allah says,

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ




When the Waqi`ah occurs,
Al-Waqi`ah (the occurrence), is one of the names of the Day of Resurrection, because that Day is real and will surely come.

Allah the Exalted said in other Ayat,

فَيَوْمَيِذٍ وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ

Then on that Day shall the Waqi`ah occur. (69;15)

Allah the Exalted said,

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ
