This ˹Prophet˺ is a warner like earlier ones. The approaching ˹Hour˺ has drawn near. None but Allah can disclose it. Do you find this revelation astonishing, laughing ˹at it˺ and not weeping ˹in awe˺, while persisting in heedlessness? Instead, prostrate to Allah and worship ˹Him alone˺! Quran 53:56~62

هَذَا نَذِيرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلنُّذُرِ ٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ‎ ‏أَزِفَتِ ٱلْءَازِفَةُ ‎ ‏لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ ‎ ‏أَفَمِنْ هَذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ ‎ ‏وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلَا تَبْكُونَ ‎ ‏وَأَنتُمْ سَمِدُونَ ‎ ‏فَٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟
The Surah talks about the eminence of the Prophet (saw) with his Mi’raj and closeness to Allah. It warns the disbelievers about the errors of their attitude towards the Qur’an and the Prophet of Allah. Some of their wrong beliefs in the angels as daughters of God, intercession of the angels etc. are also mentioned.
یہ (محمدﷺ) بھی اگلے ڈر سنانے والوں میں سے ایک ڈر سنانے والے ہیں آنے والی (یعنی قیامت) قریب آ پہنچی اس (دن کی تکلیفوں) کو خدا کے سوا کوئی دور نہیں کرسکے گا (اے منکرین خدا) کیا تم اس کلام سے تعجب کرتے ہو؟ اور ہنستے ہو اور روتے نہیں؟ اور تم غفلت میں پڑ رہے ہو تو خدا کے آگے سجدہ کرو اور (اسی کی) عبادت کرو

The Mi’raj experience of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). Gods or goddesses of the non-believers are mere conjectures and names without any reality.
The angels are the servants of Allah. No intercession can work against Allah. Allah is most forgiving, but He requires righteousness.
Those who deny the truth they are standing against the power and majesty of Allah.
