ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السُّوءَ بِجَهَالَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُوا مِن بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيم

وَإِذَا جَاۤءَكَ ٱلَّذِینَ یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِءَایَـٰتِنَا فَقُلۡ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَیۡكُمۡۖ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَةَ أَنَّهُۥ مَنۡ عَمِلَ مِنكُمۡ سُوۤءَۢا بِجَهَـٰلَةࣲ ثُمَّ تَابَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ وَأَصۡلَحَ فَأَنَّهُۥ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِیمࣱ
This surah dwells on such themes as the clear signs of Allah’s Dominion and Power, rejecting polytheism and unbelief, the establishment of Tawhid (pure monotheism), the Revelation, Messengership, and Resurrection.
اور جب تمہارے پاس ایسے لوگ آیا کریں جو ہماری آیتوں پر ایمان لاتے ہیں تو (ان سے) سلام علیکم کہا کرو خدا نے اپنی ذات (پاک) پر رحمت کو لازم کرلیا ہے کہ جو کوئی تم میں نادانی سے کوئی بری حرکت کر بیٹھے پھر اس کے بعد توبہ کرلے اور نیکوکار ہوجائے تو وہ بخشنے والا مہربان ہے

Quran 34:1~2

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All praise is for Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And praise be to Him in the Hereafter. He is the All-Wise, All-Aware. He knows whatever goes into the earth and whatever comes out of it, and whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends into it. And He is the Most Merciful, All-Forgiving. Quran 34:1`2 Surah Saba` (Sheba)
Surah Saba’ takes its name after the People of Saba’, لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِي مَسْكَنِهِمْ آيَةٌ ۖ جَنَّتَانِ عَن يَمِينٍ وَشِمَالٍ ۖ كُلُوا مِن رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ ۚ بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ “There was for [the tribe of] Saba’ in their dwelling place a sign: two [fields of] gardens on the right and on the left. [They were told], “Eat from the provisions of your Lord and be grateful to Him. A good land [have you], and a forgiving Lord.” (34:15)
There are 54 Ayat in this Surah.

The Surah answers some of the objections raised by the non-believers about Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah. It also speaks about Prophets David and Solomon and the Queen of Sheba to remind people about the consequences of evils as well as righteousness.
شروع الله کا نام لے کر جو بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم والا ہے سب تعریف الله ہی کے لیے ہے جو کچھ آسمانوں اور زمین میں ہے سب اسی کا ہے اور آخرت میں بھی اسی کے لیے سب تعریف ہے اور وہ حکمت والا خبردار ہے وہ جانتا ہے جو زمین میں داخل ہوتا ہے اور جو اس میں سے نکلتا ہے اور جو آسمان سے نازل ہوتا ہے اور جو اس میں چڑھتا ہے اور وہ نہایت رحم والا بخشنے والا ہے

Quran 4:97~100

When the angels seize the souls of those who have wronged themselves—scolding them, “What do you think you were doing?” they will reply, “ We were oppressed in the land.” The angels will respond, “Was Allah’s earth not spacious enough for you to emigrate?” It is they who will have Hell as their home—what an evil destination! Except helpless men, women, and children who cannot afford a way out—it is right to hope that Allah will pardon them. For Allah is Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.
An-Nisa’ (Arabic: ٱلنساء, An-Nisāʾ; meaning: The Women) is the fourth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 176 verses (āyāt).
Whoever emigrates in the cause of Allah will find many safe havens and bountiful resources throughout the earth. Those who leave their homes and die while emigrating to Allah and His Messenger— their reward has already been secured with Allah. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Quran 4:97~100 Surah an-Nisa` (Women)
The title derives from the numerous references to women throughout the chapter, including verse 34 and verses 127-130.

According to many scholars, the Surah was revealed after the Battle of Uhud, which left 70 of the Muslims killed.
This situation brought about the need to address issues such as inheritance left by those killed etc.
Hence in Surah an-Nisa, Allah Almighty address issues such as dealing with orphans [including children of those killed at Uhud] and inheritance.
اور جو لوگ اپنی جانوں پر ظلم کرتے ہیں جب فرشتے ان کی جان قبض کرنے لگتے ہیں تو ان سے پوچھتے ہیں کہ تم کس حال میں تھے وہ کہتے ہیں کہ ہم ملک میں عاجز وناتواں تھے فرشتے کہتے ہیں کیا خدا کا ملک فراخ نہیں تھا کہ تم اس میں ہجرت کر جاتے ایسے لوگوں کا ٹھکانہ دوزخ ہے اور وہ بری جگہ ہے ہاں جو مرد اور عورتیں اور بچے بےبس ہیں کہ نہ تو کوئی چارہ کر سکتے ہیں اور نہ رستہ جانتے ہیں قریب ہے کہ خدا ایسوں کو معاف کردے اور خدا معاف کرنے والا (اور) بخشنے والا ہے اور جو شخص خدا کی راہ میں گھر بار چھوڑ جائے وہ زمین میں بہت سی جگہ اور کشائش پائے گا اور جو شخص خدا اور رسول کی طرف ہجرت کرکے گھر سے نکل جائے پھر اس کو موت آپکڑے تو اس کا ثواب خدا کے ذمے ہوچکا اور خدا بخشنے والا اور مہربان ہے

Quran 25:70~76

As for those who repent, believe, and do good deeds, they are the ones whose evil deeds Allah will change into good deeds. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah properly.
Surah al-Furqan [The Criterion] takes its name from the first Ayat,
تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ
˹They are˺ those who do not bear false witness, and when they come across falsehood, they pass ˹it˺ by with dignity. ˹They are˺ those who, when reminded of the revelation of their Lord, do not turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to it. ˹They are˺ those who pray, “Our Lord! Bless us with ˹pious˺ spouses and offspring who will be the joy of our hearts, and make us models for the righteous.”
“Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant…” [25:1]
It is they who will be rewarded with ˹elevated˺ mansions ˹in Paradise˺ for their perseverance, and will be received with salutations and ˹greetings of˺ peace, staying there forever. What an excellent place to settle and reside! Quran 25:75~76 Surah al-Furqan (The Criterion)

Quran 35:29~30

Surely those who recite the Book of Allah, establish prayer, and donate from what We have provided for them —secretly and openly— ˹can˺ hope for an exchange that will never fail, so that He will reward them in full and increase them out of His grace. He is truly All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative. Quran 35:29~30 Surah Fatir (The Creator)
This Surah takes it name after the first Ayat,
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ

Quran 46:7~9

Whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, the disbelievers say of the truth when it has come to them, “This is pure magic.” Or do they say, “He has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “ If I have done so, then there is nothing whatsoever you can do to save me from Allah. He knows best what ˹slurs˺ you indulge about it. Sufficient is He as a Witness between you and me. And He is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” Say, “I am not the first messenger ever sent, nor do I know what will happen to me or you. I only follow what is revealed to me. And I am only sent with a clear warning.” Quran 46:7~9 Surah al-Ahqaf (The Wind-curved Sandhills)
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَاذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا اللَّـهَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ “And mention, [O Muhammad], the brother of ‘Aad, when he warned his people in the [region of] al-Ahqaf – and warners had already passed on before him and after him – [saying], “Do not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day.” (46:21). There are 35 Ayat in this Surah.

The Surah gives warnings to those who deny the truth.
When Allah’s punishment comes then neither the sea, nor the dry land can protect.
There is a reference in this Surah to the people of ‘Ad and Allah’s punishment for their sins.
اِن لوگوں کو جب ہماری صاف صاف آیات سنائی جاتی ہیں اور حق اِن کے سامنے آ جاتا ہے تو یہ کافر لوگ اُس کے متعلق کہتے ہیں کہ یہ تو کھلا جادو ہے کیا اُن کا کہنا یہ ہے کہ رسول نے اِسے خود گھڑ لیا ہے؟ ان سے کہو، "اگر میں نے اِسے خود گھڑ لیا ہے تو تم مجھے خدا کی پکڑ سے کچھ بھی نہ بچا سکو گے، جو باتیں تم بناتے ہو اللہ ان کو خوب جانتا ہے، میرے اور تمہارے درمیان وہی گواہی دینے کے لیے کافی ہے، اور وہ بڑا درگزر کرنے والا اور رحیم ہے" اِن سے کہو، "میں کوئی نرالا رسول تو نہیں ہوں، میں نہیں جانتا کہ کل تمہارے ساتھ کیا ہونا ہے اور میرے ساتھ کیا، میں تو صرف اُس وحی کی پیروی کرتا ہوں جو میرے پاس بھیجی جاتی ہے اور میں ایک صاف صاف خبردار کر دینے والے کے سوا اور کچھ نہیں ہوں"

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتࣱ تَجۡرِی مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡكَبِیرُ إِنَّ بَطۡشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِیدٌ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ یُبۡدِئُ وَیُعِیدُ وَهُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلۡوَدُودُ ذُو ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡمَجِیدُ فَعَّالࣱ لِّمَا یُرِیدُ
The Surah speaks about the persecution of the Believers.
Allah watches over His own people and He will bring His enemies to judgment.
The Surah warns the opponents of this message.
Their end might be the same as that of many nations before who denied Allah’s message and persecuted the Believers.
(اور) جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور نیک کام کرتے رہے ان کے لیے باغات ہیں جن کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں۔ یہ ہی بڑی کامیابی ہے بےشک تمہارے پروردگار کی پکڑ بڑی سخت ہے وہی پہلی دفعہ پیدا کرتا ہے اور وہی دوبارہ (زندہ) کرے گا اور وہ بخشنے والا اور محبت کرنے والا ہے عرش کا مالک بڑی شان والا جو چاہتا ہے کر دیتا ہے
Theme
This Surah warns the disbelievers of the evil consequences of persecution and tyranny and consoles the believers that if they remain firm and steadfast against tyranny and coercion, they will be rewarded for it, and Allah Himself will avenge their persecutors. In this connection, the story of the people of the ditch (Ashab al-Ukhdud), who had burnt the believers to death by casting them into pits full of fire is related. By means of this story the believers and the disbelievers have been taught a few lessons:
That just as the people of the ditch became worthy of Allah’s curse and punishment, the chiefs of Makkah are also becoming worthy of it.
That just as the believers at that time had willingly accepted to sacrifice their lives by being burnt to death in the pits of fire instead of turning away from their faith, so also should the believers now endure every persecution and never give up faith.
That Allah, to Whom belongs the Kingdom of the earth and heavens, is Praiseworthy and is watching what the two groups are striving for.
Therefore, the disbelievers will not only be punished in Hell for their disbelief but, in addition to that, they also will suffer punishment by fire as a fit recompense for their tyranny and cruelty. The believers who are firm in their belief and do good deeds will go to paradise. This indeed is the supreme success. Then the disbelievers are warned that Allah’s grip is very severe. If they are proud of the strength of their hosts, they should know that the hosts of Pharaoh and Thamud were even stronger and more numerous. Therefore, they should learn a lesson from the fate these people of the past met. No one can escape Allah’s jurisdiction and the Qur’an that they are belying is unchangeable: it is inscribed in the Preserved Tablet, which cannot be destroyed in any way.
