Quran 16:48~50

Have they not considered how the shadows of everything Allah has created incline to the right and the left ˹as the sun moves˺, totally submitting to Allah in all humility? And to Allah ˹alone˺ bows down ˹in submission˺ whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of living creatures, as do the angels—who are not too proud ˹ to do so˺. They fear their Lord above them, and do whatever they are commanded. Quran 16:48~50 Surah an-Nahl (The Bee) prostration verse
The Bee (Arabic: الْنَّحْل; an-naḥl) is the 16th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an, with 128 verses (āyāt).

Quran 10:17~18

Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His revelations? Indeed, the wicked will never succeed. They worship besides Allah others who can neither harm nor benefit them, and say, “These are our intercessors with Allah.” Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Are you informing Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth? Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!” Quran 10:17~18 [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.

فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِءَایَـٰتِهِۦۤۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا یُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ وَیَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا یَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَا یَنفَعُهُمۡ وَیَقُولُونَ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ شُفَعَـٰۤؤُنَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَتُنَبِّءُونَ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا لَا یَعۡلَمُ فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَلَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا یُشۡرِكُونَ

Quran 79~1-14

By those (angels) who violently pull out (the souls of the disbelievers), by those (angels) who gently draw out (the souls of the believers), by those (angels) who swim swiftly (through space), by those (angels) who press forward in a race (to fulfill Allah’s orders), by those (angels) who arrange to execute the commands (of their Lord). On the Day when the first blowing of the trumpet will shake (the earth, the mountains, and everybody will die), the second blowing of the trumpet will follow it (everybody will raise up).
An-Nāziʻāt (Arabic: النازعات, “Those Who Pull Out”, in reference to “the angels who tear out the souls of the wicked”) is the seventy-ninth surah of the Qur’an, with 46 ayat.
On that Day, hearts will beat (with fear and anxiety), their eyes will be downcast. They (disbelievers) say: “Shall we really be returned to the former state of life, when we will become crumbled bones?” They say: “In that case, it would be a return with loss!” But it will be only a single shout (the second blowing of the trumpet), when they will be awakened (alive after death). Quran 79:1~14 Surah an-Nazi`at (Soul-snatchers)
وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرۡقࣰا وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشۡطࣰا وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبۡحࣰا فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبۡقࣰا فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَ ٰتِ أَمۡرࣰا یَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ قُلُوبࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ وَاجِفَةٌ أَبۡصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةࣱ یَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِی ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمࣰا نَّخِرَةࣰ قَالُوا۟ تِلۡكَ إِذࣰا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةࣱ فَإِنَّمَا هِیَ زَجۡرَةࣱ وَ ٰحِدَةࣱ فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
Its name derived from the word wan-nazi‘at with which it opens. The root (n-z-‘) roughly means “to yank out with great force”, although it can also mean “to yearn for” or “to yearn after”
قسم ہے اُن (فرشتوں کی) جو [کافروں کی جان] ڈوب کر کھینچتے ہیں اور[مومنوں کی جان] آہستگی سے نکال لے جاتے ہیں اور (اُن فرشتوں کی جو کائنات میں) تیزی سے تیرتے پھرتے ہیں پھر (حکم بجا لانے میں) سبقت کرتے ہیں پھر (احکام الٰہی کے مطابق) معاملات کا انتظام چلاتے ہیں جس روز ہلا مارے گا زلزلے کا جھٹکا اور اس کے پیچھے ایک اور جھٹکا پڑے گا
It speaks about Allah’s angels who take the souls at the time of death. As Allah has power to take away the souls, as He has created the whole universe, He also has the power to resurrect people after their death. The story of Prophet Moses and Pharaoh is mentioned to warn the people about the consequences of arrogant pride which leads to the denial of the truth.
کچھ دل ہوں گے جو اُس روز خوف سے کانپ رہے ہوں گے نگاہیں اُن کی سہمی ہوئی ہوں گی یہ لوگ کہتے ہیں "کیا واقعی ہم پلٹا کر پھر واپس لائے جائیں گے؟ کیا جب ہم کھوکھلی بوسیدہ ہڈیاں بن چکے ہوں گے؟“ کہنے لگے "یہ واپسی تو پھر بڑے گھاٹے کی ہوگی!“ حالانکہ یہ بس اتنا کام ہے کہ ایک شديد ہيبت ناک آواز پڑے گی اور یکایک یہ کھلے میدان میں موجود ہوں گے
