Quran 88:17~20

Do they not ever reflect on camels— how they were ˹masterfully˺ created; and the sky— how it was raised ˹high˺; and the mountains— how they were firmly set up; and the earth— how it was levelled out? Quran 88:17~20 Surah al-Ghashiyah (The Overwhelming Calamity)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ “Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?” [88:1].
There are 26 Ayat in this Surah.

أَفَلَا یَنظُرُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِبِلِ كَیۡفَ خُلِقَتۡ وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ كَیۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَیۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَیۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ
The Surah talks about the coming calamity that will cover everything.
Humanity will be divided into two groups: the frightened, tired and exhausted group, and the joyful and happy group.
The Prophet is told to remind people.
His mission is to remind only, not to impose the message.
Allah will make the final judgment.
پھر کیا وہ اونٹوں کی طرف نہیں دیکھتے کہ کیسے بنائے گئے ہیں اور آسمان کی طرف کہ کیسے بلند کیے گئے ہیں اور پہاڑوں کی طرف کہ کیسے کھڑے کیے گئے ہیں اور زمین کی طرف کہ کیسے بچھائی گئی ہے
This surah refers to three broad-ranging topics. First, God describes the difference between good and evil paths that an individual can take and the consequence of each path. God then clarifies their destiny and describes what hell would be like for the non-believers.
The second theme mentions the creations God has made, referring to the sky, the earth, and the mountains.
Lastly, in verses 21–22, God gives a direct message to Muhammad and tells him,
“So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. You are not over them a controller.”

Quran 88:1~16

Has the news of the Overwhelming Event reached you ˹O Prophet˺? On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be downcast, ˹totally˺ overburdened, exhausted, burning in a scorching Fire, left to drink from a scalding spring. They will have no food except a foul, thorny shrub, neither nourishing nor satisfying hunger. On that Day ˹other˺ faces will be glowing with bliss, ˹fully˺ pleased with their striving, in an elevated Garden, where no idle talk will be heard. In it will be a running spring, along with thrones raised high, and cups set at hand, and ˹fine˺ cushions lined up, and ˹splendid˺ carpets spread out. Quran 88:1~16 Surah al-Ghashiyah (The Overwhelming Calamity)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ “Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?” [88:1].

Quran 10:25~27

And Allah invites ˹all˺ to the Home of Peace and guides whoever He wills to the Straight Path. Those who do good will have the finest reward and ˹even˺ more. Neither gloom nor disgrace will cover their faces. It is they who will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever. As for those who commit evil, the reward of an evil deed is its equivalent. Humiliation will cover them—with no one to protect them from Allah—as if their faces were covered with patches of the night’s deep darkness. It is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever. Quran 10:25~27 Surah Yunus (Jonah)
The surah is named after the Prophet Yunus [Jonah] and this is the only surah of the Qur’an to mention the ‘people of Yunus’ –
“Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah?
When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time” (10:98)
There are 109 Ayat in this Surah.

وَٱللَّهُ یَدۡعُوۤا۟ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَـٰمِ وَیَهۡدِی مَن یَشَاۤءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَ ٰطࣲ مُّسۡتَقِیمࣲ ۞ لِّلَّذِینَ أَحۡسَنُوا۟ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ وَزِیَادَةࣱۖ وَلَا یَرۡهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمۡ قَتَرࣱ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ هُمۡ فِیهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ وَٱلَّذِینَ كَسَبُوا۟ ٱلسَّیِّءَاتِ جَزَاۤءُ سَیِّئَةِۭ بِمِثۡلِهَا وَتَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةࣱۖ مَّا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ عَاصِمࣲۖ كَأَنَّمَاۤ أُغۡشِیَتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ قِطَعࣰا مِّنَ ٱلَّیۡلِ مُظۡلِمًاۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِیهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ
The main subject of this Surah is faith in Allah and belief in the Hereafter.
Those who have true faith, they worship Allah and recognize Him as their Lord and Master and live their lives in accordance to His command.
Allah sent His Messengers to remind people and to warn them.
The stories of Prophets Noah and Prophet Moses with Pharaoh are told to remind people about the consequences of unfaithfulness and arrogance.
(تم اِس نا پائیدار زندگی کے فریب میں مبتلا ہو رہے ہو) اور اللہ تمہیں دار السلام کی طرف دعوت دے رہا ہے (ہدایت اُس کے اختیار میں ہے) جس کو وہ چاہتا ہے سیدھا راستہ دکھا دیتا ہے جن لوگوں نے بھَلائی کا طریقہ اختیار کیا ان کے لیے بھَلائی ہے اور مزید فضل ان کے چہروں پر رُو سیاہی اور ذلّت نہ چھائے گی وہ جنت کے مستحق ہیں جہاں وہ ہمیشہ رہیں گے اور جن لوگوں نے بُرائیاں کمائیں ان کی بُرائی جیسی ہے ویسا ہی وہ بدلہ پائیں گے، ذلّت ان پر مسلّط ہو گی، کوئی اللہ سے ان کو بچانے والا نہ ہو گا، ان کے چہروں پر ایسی تاریکی چھائی ہوئی ہو گی جیسے رات کے سیاہ پردے ان پر پڑے ہوئے ہوں، وہ دوزخ کے مستحق ہیں جہاں وہ ہمیشہ رہیں گے

Quran 11:123

اور آسمانوں اور زمین کی چھپی چیزوں کا علم خدا ہی کو ہے اور تمام امور کا رجوع اسی کی طرف ہے۔ تو اسی کی عبادت کرو اور اسی پر بھروسہ رکھو۔ اور جو کچھ تم کررہے ہو تمہارا پروردگار اس سے بےخبر نہیں
The mention of Prophet Hud occurs more time in this Surah than any other Surah of the Qur’an. It appears a total of 5 times.
The Prophet refered to this surah as Hud in a number of hadeeth. Abu Bakr once said to the Prophet, ‘O Messenger of Allah, you have become old.’ The Prophet said, ‘I have become old [due to] [Surah] Hud, al-Waqiah [56], al-Murasalat [77], Amma yatasailoon [an-Naba 78] and Waidha ash-Shamsu kuwirat [at-Takweer 81].” [Tirmidhee]

Quran 11:12~14

Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ may wish to give up some of what is revealed to you and may be distressed by it because they say, “If only a treasure had been sent down to him, or an angel had come with him!” You are only a warner, and Allah is the Trustee of All Affairs. Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Produce ten fabricated sûrahs like it and seek help from whoever you can—other than Allah— if what you say is true!” But if your helpers fail you, then know that it has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him! Will you ˹not˺ then submit ˹to Allah˺? Quran 11:12~14 [Surah Hud]

تو اے پیغمبرؐ! کہیں ایسا نہ ہو کہ تم اُن چیزوں میں سے کسی چیز کو (بیان کر نے سے) چھوڑ دو جو تمہاری طرف وحی کی جا رہی ہیں اور اِس بات پر دل تنگ ہو کہ وہ کہیں گے "اس شخص پر کوئی خزانہ کیوں نہ اتارا گیا" یا یہ کہ "اس کے ساتھ کوئی فرشتہ کیوں نہ آیا" تم تو محض خبردار کرنے والے ہو، آگے ہر چیز کا حوالہ دار اللہ ہے کیا یہ کہتے ہیں کہ پیغمبر نے یہ کتاب خود گھڑ لی ہے؟ کہو، "اچھا یہ بات ہے تو اس جیسی گھڑی ہوئی دس سورتیں تم بنا لاؤ اور اللہ کے سوا اور جو جو (تمہارے معبود) ہیں اُن کو مدد کے لیے بلا سکتے ہو تو بلا لو اگر تم (انہیں معبود سمجھنے میں) سچے ہو اب اگر وہ (تمہارے معبود) تمہاری مدد کو نہیں پہنچتے تو جان لو کہ یہ اللہ کے علم سے نازل ہوئی ہے اور یہ کہ اللہ کے سوا کوئی حقیقی معبود نہیں ہے پھر کیا تم (اس امر حق کے آگے) سر تسلیم خم کر تے ہو؟"

Quran 11:1~4

Alif-Lãm-Ra. ˹This is˺ a Book whose verses are well perfected and then fully explained. ˹It is˺ from the One ˹Who is˺ All-Wise, All-Aware. ˹Tell them, O Prophet,˺ “Worship none but Allah. Surely I am a warner and deliverer of good news to you from Him. And seek your Lord’s forgiveness and turn to Him in repentance. He will grant you a good provision for an appointed term and graciously reward the doers of good. But if you turn away, then I truly fear for you the torment of a formidable Day. To Allah is your return. And He is Most Capable of everything.” Quran 11:1~4 (Surah Hud )
