قُلۡ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّی رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَیۡكُمۡ جَمِیعًا ٱلَّذِی لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ َٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ یُحۡیِۦ وَیُمِیتُۖ فَءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ٱلنَّبِیِّ ٱلۡأُمِّیِّ ٱلَّذِی یُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَٱتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ
The basic theme of this Surah is Risalah, i.e. Allah’s message as it was sent through many messengers. Several Prophets and parts of their stories are mentioned to emphasize Prophets’ mission and their struggle with their people.
(اے محمدﷺ) کہہ دو کہ لوگو میں تم سب کی طرف خدا کا بھیجا ہوا (یعنی اس کا رسول) ہوں۔ (وہ) جو آسمانوں اور زمین کا بادشاہ ہے۔ اس کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں وہی زندگانی بخشتا ہے اور وہی موت دیتا ہے۔ تو خدا پر اور اس کے رسول پیغمبر اُمی پر جو خدا پر اور اس کے تمام کلام پر ایمان رکھتے ہیں ایمان لاؤ اور ان کی پیروی کرو تاکہ ہدایت پاؤ
The Surah tells us that Allah’s Prophets suffered for the cause of truth. Their enemies tried to harm them, but then Allah helped his prophets and defeated their enemies. The Surah emphasizes that the true message must be presented under all circumstances. After the Prophets it is the duty of the Believers to convey the message of Allah to all people.
