Quran 7:97~99

Did the people of those societies feel secure that Our punishment would not come upon them by night while they were asleep?

Quran 7:48~51

Those on the heights will call out to some ˹tyrants in the Fire˺, who they will recognize by their appearance, saying, “Your large numbers and arrogance are of no use ˹today˺! Are these ˹humble believers˺ the ones you swore would never be shown Allah’s mercy?” ˹Finally, those on the heights will be told:˺ “Enter Paradise! There is no fear for you, nor will you grieve.” The residents of the Fire will then cry out to the residents of Paradise, “Aid us with some water or any provision Allah has granted you.” They will reply, “Allah has forbidden both to the disbelievers, those who took this faith ˹of Islam˺ as mere amusement and play and were deluded by ˹their˺ worldly life.” ˹Allah will say,˺ “Today We will ignore them just as they ignored the coming of this Day of theirs and for rejecting Our revelations.” Quran 7:48~51

The messengers of our Lord had certainly come with the truth.” It will be announced to them, “This is Paradise awarded to you for what you used to do.” Quran 7:42~43

Quran 7:191~194

Do they associate ˹with Allah˺ those ˹idols˺ which cannot create anything, but are in fact created; which cannot help them, or even help themselves? And if you ˹idolaters˺ call upon them for guidance, they cannot respond to you. It is all the same whether you call them or remain silent. Those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah are created beings like yourselves. So call upon them and see if they will answer you, if your claims are true! Quran 7:191~194

کیسے نادان ہیں یہ لوگ کہ اُن کو خدا کا شریک ٹھیراتے ہیں جو کسی چیز کو بھی پیدا نہیں کرتے بلکہ خود پیدا کیے جاتے ہیں جو نہ ان کی مدد کر سکتے ہیں اور نہ آپ اپنی مدد ہی پر قادر ہیں اگر تم انہیں سیدھی راہ پر آنے کی دعوت دو تو وہ تمہارے پیچھے نہ آئیں، تم خواہ انہیں پکارو یا خاموش رہو، دونوں صورتوں میں تمہارے لیے یکساں ہی رہے تم لوگ خدا کو چھوڑ کر جنہیں پکارتے ہو وہ تو محض بندے ہیں جیسے تم بندے ہو ان سے دعائیں مانگ دیکھو، یہ تمہاری دعاؤں کا جواب دیں اگر ان کے بارے میں تمہارے خیالات صحیح ہیں
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. 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.
