Quran 16:26~29

Indeed, those before them had plotted, but Allah struck at the ˹very˺ foundation of their structure, so the roof collapsed on top of them, and the torment came upon them from where they did not expect. Then on the Day of Judgment He will humiliate them and say, “Where are My ˹so-called˺ associate-gods for whose sake you used to oppose ˹the believers˺?” Those gifted with knowledge will say, “Surely disgrace and misery today are upon the disbelievers.” contd…
The Bee (Arabic: الْنَّحْل; an-naḥl) is the 16th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an
Those whose souls the angels seize while they wrong themselves will then offer ˹full˺ submission ˹and say falsely,˺ “We did not do any evil.” ˹The angels will say,˺ “No!

ان سے پہلے لوگوں نے بھی (ایسی ہی) مکاریاں کی تھیں تو خدا (کا حکم) ان کی عمارت کے ستونوں پر آپہنچا اور چھت ان پر ان کے اوپر سے گر پڑی اور (ایسی طرف سے) ان پر عذاب آ واقع ہوا جہاں سے ان کو خیال بھی نہ تھا پھر وہ ان کو قیامت کے دن بھی ذلیل کرے گا اور کہے گا کہ میرے وہ شریک کہاں ہیں جن کے بارے میں تم جھگڑا کرتے تھے۔ جن لوگوں کو علم دیا گیا تھا وہ کہیں گے کہ آج کافروں کی رسوائی اور برائی ہے
It is named after honey bees mentioned in verse 68, and contains a comparison of the industry and adaptability of honey bees with the industry of man.
(ان کا حال یہ ہے کہ) جب فرشتے ان کی روحیں قبض کرنے لگتے ہیں (اور یہ) اپنے ہی حق میں ظلم کرنے والے (ہوتے ہیں) تو مطیع ومنقاد ہوجاتے ہیں (اور کہتے ہیں) کہ ہم کوئی برا کام نہیں کرتے تھے۔ ہاں جو کچھ تم کیا کرتے تھے خدا اسے خوب جانتا ہے سو دوزخ کے دروازوں میں داخل ہوجاؤ۔ ہمیشہ اس میں رہو گے۔ اب تکبر کرنے والوں کا برا ٹھکانا ہے
And your Lord taught the honey bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men’s) habitations; Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought.

Quran 4 : 36(Partial) ~ 39

Surely Allah does not like whoever is arrogant, boastful— those who are stingy, promote stinginess among people, and withhold Allah’s bounties. We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment. Likewise for those who spend their wealth to show off and do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. And whoever takes Satan as an associate— what an evil associate they have! What harm could have come to them if they had believed in Allah and the Last Day and donated from what Allah has provided for them? And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of them. Quran 4: 36 (partial) to 39 Surah an-Nisa` (Women)
An-Nisa’ (Arabic: ٱلنساء, An-Nisāʾ; meaning: The Women) is the fourth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 176 verses (āyāt).
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.
خدا تکبر کرنے والے بڑائی مارنے والے کو دوست نہیں رکھتا جو خود بھی بخل کریں اور لوگوں کو بھی بخل سکھائیں اور جو (مال) خدا نے ان کو اپنے فضل سے عطا فرمایا ہے اسے چھپا چھپا کے رکھیں اور ہم نے ناشکروں کے لئے ذلت کا عذاب تیار کر رکھا ہے اور خرچ بھی کریں تو (خدا کے لئے نہیں بلکہ) لوگوں کے دکھانے کو اور ایمان نہ خدا پر لائیں اور نہ روز آخرت پر (ایسے لوگوں کو ساتھی شیطان ہے) اور جس کا ساتھی شیطان ہوا تو (کچھ شک نہیں کہ) وہ برا ساتھی ہے اور اگر یہ لوگ خدا پر اور روز قیامت پر ایمان لاتے اور جو کچھ خدا نے ان کو دیا تھا اس میں سے خرچ کرتے تو ان کا کیا نقصان ہوتا اور خدا ان کو خوب جانتا ہے

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.

Quran 22:26~30(P)

English: ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏And ˹remember˺ when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House, ˹saying,˺ “Do not associate anything with Me ˹in worship˺ and purify My House for those who circle ˹the Ka’bah˺, stand ˹in prayer˺, and bow and prostrate themselves. Call ˹all˺ people to the pilgrimage. They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant path, so they may obtain the benefits ˹in store˺ for them, and pronounce the Name of Allah on appointed days over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. So eat from their meat and feed the desperately poor. Then let them groom themselves, fulfil their vows, and circle the Ancient House.” That is so. And whoever honours the rituals of Allah, it is best for them in the sight of their Lord Quran 22:26~30 (partial) Surah al-Hajj
Named after the obligation of the pilgrimage to Makkah – The Hajj.
The word ‘Hajj’ is only mentioned once in this Surah, وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ “And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -” [22:27]

The Surah reminds about the approaching end of the world, need for the firmness of faith to support the truth and to eradicate the evil. It talks about prayers, humbleness and sacrifice, respect of the Ka’bah, the House of Allah, and striving to defend the truth.
یاد کرو وہ وقت جب ہم نے ابراہیمؑ کے لیے اِس گھر (خانہ کعبہ) کی جگہ تجویز کی تھی (اِس ہدایت کے ساتھ) کہ "میرے ساتھ کسی چیز کو شریک نہ کرو، اور میرے گھر کو طواف کرنے والوں اور قیام و رکوع و سجود کرنے والوں کے لیے پاک رکھو اور لوگوں کو حج کے لیے اذنِ عام دے دو کہ وہ تمہارے پاس ہر دور دراز مقام سے پیدل اور اونٹوں پر سوار آئیں تاکہ وہ فائدے دیکھیں جو یہاں اُن کے لیے رکھے گئے ہیں اور چند مقرر دنوں میں اُن جانوروں پر اللہ کا نام لیں جو اُس نے انہیں بخشے ہیں، خود بھی کھائیں اور تنگ دست محتاج کو بھی دیں پھر اپنا میل کچیل دور کریں اور اپنی نذریں پوری کریں، اور اس قدیم گھر کا طواف کریں یہ تھا (تعمیر کعبہ کا مقصد) اور جو کوئی اللہ کی قائم کردہ حرمتوں کا احترام کرے تو یہ اس کے رب کے نزدیک خود اسی کے لیے بہتر ہے

Quran 7:200~202

If you are tempted by Satan, then seek refuge with Allah. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. Indeed, when Satan whispers to those mindful ˹of Allah˺, they remember ˹their Lord˺ then they start to see ˹things˺ clearly. But the devils persistently plunge their ˹human˺ associates deeper into wickedness, sparing no effort. Quran 7:200~202
The Surah is named after the story of the men awaiting on the “Elevations” between Paradise and Hell.
It comprises of 206 Ayat.

وَإِمَّا یَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنِ نَزۡغࣱ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِیعٌ عَلِیمٌ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتَّقَوۡا۟ إِذَا مَسَّهُمۡ طَـٰۤىِٕفࣱ مِّنَ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنِ تَذَكَّرُوا۟ فَإِذَا هُم مُّبۡصِرُونَ وَإِخۡوَ ٰنُهُمۡ یَمُدُّونَهُمۡ فِی ٱلۡغَیِّ ثُمَّ لَا یُقۡصِرُونَ
Al-A’raf – The Elevations.
Allah mentions Paradise and Hellfire and then speaks of the ‘elevations’ between them reserved for some amongst humanity. These people not knowing what will happen to them. The people of Hell-fire will be refused water as it will be prohibited for the disbelievers in the after-life.
اگر کبھی شیطان تمہیں اکسائے تو اللہ کی پناہ مانگو، وہ سب کچھ سننے اور جاننے والا ہے حقیقت میں جو لو گ متقی ہیں اُن کا حال تو یہ ہوتا ہے کہ کبھی شیطان کے اثر سے کوئی برا خیال اگر انہیں چھو بھی جاتا ہے تو وہ فوراً چوکنے ہو جاتے ہیں اور پھر انہیں صاف نظر آنے لگتا ہے کہ ان کے لیے صحیح طریق کار کیا ہے رہے ان کے (یعنی شیاطین کے) بھائی بند، تو وہ انہیں ان کی کج روی میں کھینچے لیے چلے جاتے ہیں اور انہیں بھٹکانے میں کوئی کسر اٹھا نہیں رکھتے
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.

Quran 43:36~39

And whoever turns a blind eye to the Reminder of the Most Compassionate, We place at the disposal of each a devilish one as their close associate, who will certainly hinder them from the ˹Right˺ Way while they think they are ˹rightly˺ guided. But when such a person comes to Us, one will say ˹to their associate˺, “I wish you were as distant from me as the east is from the west ! What an evil associate ˹you were˺!” ˹It will be said to both,˺ “Since you all did wrong, sharing in the punishment will be of no benefit to you this Day.” Quran 43:36~39
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَزُخْرُفًا ۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَالْآخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ “And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.” (43:35) There are 89 Ayat in this Surah.

وَمَن یَعۡشُ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ نُقَیِّضۡ لَهُۥ شَیۡطَـٰنࣰا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِینࣱ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَیَصُدُّونَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِیلِ وَیَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهۡتَدُونَ حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا جَاۤءَنَا قَالَ یَـٰلَیۡتَ بَیۡنِی وَبَیۡنَكَ بُعۡدَ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقَیۡنِ فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡقَرِینُ وَلَن یَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلۡیَوۡمَ إِذ ظَّلَمۡتُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ فِی ٱلۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُونَ
The Surah tells us that the revelation is a mercy from Allah. Allah chooses whosoever He wills to give His revelation. The worldly goods and riches do not necessarily mean that a person is best in the sight of Allah. The real value comes from following the truth and righteousness.
اور جو کوئی خدا کی یاد سے آنکھیں بند کرکے (یعنی تغافل کرے) ہم اس پر ایک شیطان مقرر کردیتے ہیں تو وہ اس کا ساتھی ہوجاتا ہے اور یہ (شیطان) ان کو رستے سے روکتے رہتے ہیں اور وہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ سیدھے رستے پر ہیں یہاں تک کہ جب ہمارے پاس آئے گا تو کہے گا کہ اے کاش مجھ میں اور تجھ میں مشرق ومغرب کا فاصلہ ہوتا تو برا ساتھی ہے اور جب تم ظلم کرتے رہے تو آج تمہیں یہ بات فائدہ نہیں دے سکتی کہ تم (سب) عذاب میں شریک ہو
