Quran 77:1~13 (Ayah al-Mursalat)

By those ˹winds˺ sent forth successively, and those blowing violently, and those scattering ˹rainclouds˺ widely! And ˹by˺ those ˹angels˺ fully distinguishing ˹truth from falsehood˺, and those delivering revelation, ending excuses and giving warnings. Surely, what you are promised will come to pass. So when the stars are put out, and the sky is torn apart, and the mountains are blown away, and the messengers’ time ˹to testify˺ comes up—for which Day has all this been set? For the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision! Quran 77:1~13 Surah al-Mursalat (Winds Sent Forth)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا “By those [winds] sent forth in gusts” [77:1].
There are 50 Ayat in this Surah.
وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَـٰتِ عُرۡفࣰا فَٱلۡعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصۡفࣰا وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَ ٰتِ نَشۡرࣰا فَٱلۡفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرۡقࣰا فَٱلۡمُلۡقِیَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فُرِجَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ لِأَیِّ یَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ لِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ‏
In the previous Surah it was mentioned how the Believers receive the moral and spiritual perfection, now in this Surah it is mentioned how the rejecters of the truth have their downfall and are destroyed.
قسم ہے اُن (ہواؤں) کی جو پے در پے بھیجی جاتی ہیں پھر طوفانی رفتار سے چلتی ہیں اور (بادلوں کو) اٹھا کر پھیلاتی ہیں پھر (اُن کو) پھاڑ کر جدا کرتی ہیں پھر (دلوں میں خدا کی) یاد ڈالتی ہیں عذر کے طور پر یا ڈراوے کے طور پر جس چیز کا تم سے وعدہ کیا جا رہا ہے وہ ضرور واقع ہونے والی ہے پھر جب ستارے ماند پڑ جائیں گے اور آسمان پھاڑ دیا جائے گا اور پہاڑ دھنک ڈالے جائیں گے اور رسولوں کی حاضری کا وقت آ پہنچے گا (اس روز وہ چیز واقع ہو جائے گی) کس روز کے لیے یہ کام اٹھا رکھا گیا ہے؟ فیصلے کے روز کے لیے
Its theme is to affirm the Resurrection and Hereafter and to warn the people of the consequences which will ultimately follow the denial and the affirmation of these truths. In the first seven verses, the system of winds has been presented as an evidence of the truth that the Resurrection which is being foretold by the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad must come to pass. The reasoning is that the power of All-Mighty God Who established this wonderful system on the earth, cannot be helpless in bringing about the Resurrection and the express wisdom which underlies this system bears full evidence that the Hereafter must appear, for no act of an All-Wise Creator can be vain and purposeless, and if there was no Hereafter, it would mean that the whole of one’s life was useless and absurd.

Quran 3:96~97 (Ayah al-Imran)

Surely the first House ˹of worship˺ established for humanity is the one at Bakkah— a blessed sanctuary and a guide for ˹all˺ people. In it are clear signs and the standing-place of Abraham. Whoever enters it should be safe. Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah upon whoever is able among the people. And whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of His˺ creation. Quran 3:96~97 Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
Surah al-Mu’minum [The Believers] takes its name after the first Ayat, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ “Certainly will the Believers have succeeded.” [23:1].
This Surah has 118 Ayat.

إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَیۡتࣲ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِی بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكࣰا وَهُدࣰى لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ فِیهِ ءَایَـٰتُۢ بَیِّنَـٰتࣱ مَّقَامُ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَۖ وَمَن دَخَلَهُۥ كَانَ ءَامِنࣰاۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ حِجُّ ٱلۡبَیۡتِ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَاعَ إِلَیۡهِ سَبِیلࣰاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِیٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ
In this Surah people are invited to accept and follow the Prophet. This is the central theme of the Surah. It speaks about the character of true believers and assures that they will be the real successful people. It draws attention to various stages of human creation, to many other universal signs. Then it takes some of the stories of other prophets and tells us that they also preached the same message.
بے شک سب سے پہلی عبادت گاہ جو انسانوں کے لیے تعمیر ہوئی وہ وہی ہے جو مکہ میں واقع ہے اس کو خیر و برکت دی گئی تھی اور تمام جہان والوں کے لیے مرکز ہدایت بنایا گیا تھا اس میں کھلی ہوئی نشانیاں ہیں، ابراہیمؑ کا مقام عبادت ہے، اوراس کا حال یہ ہے کہ جو اِس میں داخل ہوا مامون ہو گیا لوگوں پر اللہ کا یہ حق ہے کہ جو اس گھر تک پہنچنے کی استطاعت رکھتا ہو وہ اس کا حج کرے، اور جو کوئی اس حکم کی پیروی سے انکار کرے تو اسے معلوم ہو جانا چاہیے کہ اللہ تمام د نیا والوں سے بے نیاز ہے

Quran 57:1~3

Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, for He is the Almighty, All-Wise. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death. And He is Most Capable of everything. He is the First and the Last, the Most High and Most Near, and He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things. Quran 57:1~3 Surah al-Hadid (The Iron)
This Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَأَنزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ “…And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might …” (57:25).
There are 29 Ayat in this Surah.

سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ ٱلۡحَكِیمُ لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ یُحۡیِۦ وَیُمِیتُۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ قَدِیرٌ هُوَ ٱلۡأَوَّلُ وَٱلۡءَاخِرُ وَٱلظَّـٰهِرُ وَٱلۡبَاطِنُۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَیۡءٍ عَلِیمٌ
The theme of this Surah is to exhort the Muslims to spend in the cause of God. At the most critical juncture of the history of Islam when it was engaged in a life and death struggle against Arab paganism, this Surah was revealed to persuade the Muslim’s to make monetary sacrifices in particular, and to make them realise that Islam did not merely consist in verbal affirmation and some outward practices but its essence and spirit is sincerity towards God and His Religion. The faith of the one who was devoid of this spirit and who regarded his own self and wealth as dearer to himself than God and His Religion, was hollow and therefore of little worth in the sight of God. For this object, first the attributes of God Almighty have been mentioned so that the listeners may fully realize as to Who is addressing them.
جو مخلوق آسمانوں اور زمین میں ہے خدا کی تسبیح کرتی ہے۔ اور وہ غالب (اور) حکمت والا ہے آسمانوں اور زمین کی بادشاہی اسی کی ہے۔ (وہی) زندہ کرتا اور مارتا ہے۔ اور وہ ہر چیز پر قادر ہے وہ (سب سے) پہلا اور (سب سے) پچھلا اور (اپنی قدرتوں سے سب پر) ظاہر اور (اپنی ذات سے) پوشیدہ ہے اور وہ تمام چیزوں کو جانتا ہے
Sections:
All knowledge and authority belongs to God. Have faith in Allah’s power, make sacrifice and give charity for the cause of truth.
Light and Life are for the Believers. The disbelievers walk in darkness. Warning to those who refuse to acknowledge Allah. Sincere in faith are those who are willing to sacrifice and help the poor and needy..
The life of this world is temporary. Compete with each other in doing good things to receive the eternal reward from Allah. Prophets were sent to establish justice with authority.
References to Prophets Noah, Ibrahim, and Jesus -peace be upon them all. All Prophets preached same message, but some of their followers went into extremes. The Christians thus invented monasticism for themselves. It was not commanded by God. The Believers are asked to have faith and walk in the light of Allah. The final success belongs to the Believers.

Quran 3:156~158

O believers! Do not be like the unfaithful who say about their brothers who travel throughout the land or engage in battle, “If they had stayed with us, they would not have died or been killed.” Allah makes such thinking a cause of agony in their hearts. It is Allah who gives life and causes death. And Allah is All-Seeing of what you do. Continued….
Should you be martyred or die in the cause of Allah, then His forgiveness and mercy are far better than whatever ˹wealth˺ those ˹who stay behind˺ accumulate. Whether you die or are martyred— all of you will be gathered before Allah. Quran 3:156~158 Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)

It is named after Ale-Imran ‘the family of Imran’ – Imran being the grandfather of Jesus [Isa], and the father of Mary [Maryam]. Other than this Surah, Imran is not mentioned in the rest of the Qur’an with the exception of Surah 66: at-Tahreem – ‘Maryam daughter of Imran’ [66:12].
Zahra – The Prophet is reported to have called al-Baqarah and Ale-Imran as ‘Zahrawayn’ [Two Lights (of guidance)]
اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، کافروں کی سی باتیں نہ کرو جن کے عزیز و اقارب اگر کبھی سفر پر جاتے ہیں یا جنگ میں شریک ہوتے ہیں ‘ (اور وہاں کسی حادثہ سے دو چار ہو جاتے ہیں) تو وہ کہتے ہیں کہ اگر وہ ہمارے پاس ہوتے تو نہ مارے جاتے اور نہ قتل ہوتے اللہ اس قسم کی باتوں کو ان کے دلوں میں حسرت و اندوہ کا سبب بنا دیتا ہے، ورنہ دراصل مارنے اور جِلانے والا تو اللہ ہی ہے
اور تمہاری حرکات پر وہی نگراں ہے اگر تم اللہ کی راہ میں مارے جاؤ یا مر جاؤ تو اللہ کی جو رحمت اور بخشش تمہارے حصہ میں آئے گی وہ اُن ساری چیزوں سے زیادہ بہتر ہے جنہیں یہ لوگ جمع کرتے ہیں اور خواہ تم مرو یا مارے جاؤ بہر حال تم سب کو سمٹ کر جانا اللہ ہی کی طرف ہے

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth and whatever is in between and whatever is underground. Quran 20 : 2~6 Surah Ta HA

(اے محمدﷺ) ہم نے تم پر قرآن اس لئے نازل نہیں کیا کہ تم مشقت میں پڑ جاؤ بلکہ اس شخص کو نصیحت دینے کے لئے (نازل کیا ہے) جو خوف رکھتا ہے یہ اس (ذات برتر) کا اتارا ہوا ہے جس نے زمین اور اونچے اونچے آسمان بنائے (یعنی خدائے) رحمٰن جس نےعرش پر قرار پکڑا جو کچھ آسمانوں میں ہے اور جو کچھ زمین میں ہے اور جو کچھ ان دونوں کے بیچ میں ہے اور جو کچھ (زمین کی) مٹی کے نیچے ہے سب اسی کا ہے
