Historical Usage
The name Waqaar is mentioned in the poetry of Allama Muhammad Iqbal, in his poem 'Shikwa-e-Hind'. Waqaar refers to the senseless and repetitive nature of human life, and the futility of worldly pursuits. This poem was written during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as a response to the colonial rule of India and the sense of despair and hopelessness felt by many Muslims in the region.
Late 19th - early 20th centuries
In the Hadith literature, Waqaar is mentioned as a type of punishment in the Afterlife. Those who commit major sins in their lives will be subjected to the punishment of Waqaar, which is described as being boiled in a cauldron of hot water and molten lead. This reference to Waqaar can be found in various Hadith collections, including Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
