Quran 4:78

Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.” When something good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah,” but when something evil befalls them, they say, “This is from you. [Prophet]” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Both have been destined by Allah.” So what is the matter with these people? They can hardly comprehend anything! Quran 4:78 Surah an-Nisa (Women)
Surah An-Nisa(النساء)
4th Chapter of the Quran

أَیۡنَمَا تَكُونُوا۟ یُدۡرِككُّمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ وَلَوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِی بُرُوجࣲ مُّشَیَّدَةࣲۗ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ حَسَنَةࣱ یَقُولُوا۟ هَـٰذِهِۦ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَیِّئَةࣱ یَقُولُوا۟ هَـٰذِهِۦ مِنۡ عِندِكَۚ قُلۡ كُلࣱّ مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَمَالِ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ لَا یَكَادُونَ یَفۡقَهُونَ حَدِیثࣰا
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.
(اے جہاد سے ڈرنے والو) تم کہیں رہو موت تو تمہیں آ کر رہے گی خواہ بڑے بڑے محلوں میں رہو اور ان لوگوں کو اگر کوئی فائدہ پہنچتا ہے تو کہتے ہیں یہ خدا کی طرف سے ہے اور اگر کوئی گزند پہنچتا ہے تو (اے محمدﷺ تم سے) کہتے ہیں کہ یہ گزند آپ کی وجہ سے (ہمیں پہنچا) ہے کہہ دو کہ (رنج وراحت) سب الله ہی کی طرف سے ہے ان لوگوں کو کیا ہوگیا ہے کہ بات بھی نہیں سمجھ سکتے
Thematically, “an-Nisā” not only addresses concerns about women, but also discusses inheritance, marriage laws, how to deal with children and orphans, legal practices, jihād, relations between Muslim communities and People of the Book, war, and the role of Jesus as a prophet, rather than the son of God as Christians claimed.
Furthermore, in discussing war, this surah encourages the Muslim community to fight for the vulnerable in war, as demonstrated by 4:75:
“Why should you not fight in God’s cause and for those oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, ‘Lord, rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors!
By Your grace, give us a protector and give us a helper!’?”
The surah addresses a multitude of issues faced by the early Muslim community and responds to the challenges the community faced.

Quran 9:128~129

Certainly has come to you a messenger from among yourselves. He is concerned by your suffering, anxious for your well-being, and gracious and merciful to the believers. But if they turn away, then say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. In Him I put my trust. And He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.” QURAN 9:128~129 (Surah at-Taubah, The Repentance)
The name of the surah, at-Taubah is derived from ت و ب and it occurs 87 times in the Quran. Interestingly, this surah has the highest usage of the words derived from ت و ب compared to all other surahs – it is used 17 times.
In Ayat 118, occurs the case of the three companions whom Allah turned to and accepted their tawbah to Him – those who had abstained from joining the Jihad at the Battle of Tabuk.

لَقَدۡ جَاۤءَكُمۡ رَسُولࣱ مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ عَزِیزٌ عَلَیۡهِ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ حَرِیصٌ عَلَیۡكُم بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ رَءُوفࣱ رَّحِیمࣱ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡا۟ فَقُلۡ حَسۡبِیَ ٱللَّهُ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ عَلَیۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ
This is the only Sūrah of the Qur’ān to which ‘In the Name of God, Most Gracious Most Merciful’ is not prefixed.
Though the commentators have given different reasons for this, the correct one that which has been given by Imām Razi: namely this is because the Prophet himself did not dictate it at the beginning of the Sūrah.
Therefore the Companions did not prefix it and their successors followed them.
This is a further proof of the fact that utmost care has been taken to keep the Qur’ān intact so that it should remain in its complete and original form.
دیکھو! تم لوگوں کے پاس ایک رسول آیا ہے جو خود تم ہی میں سے ہے، تمہارا نقصان میں پڑنا اس پر شاق ہے، تمہاری فلاح کا وہ حریص ہے، ایمان لانے والوں کے لیے وہ شفیق اور رحیم ہے اب اگر یہ لوگ تم سے منہ پھیرتے ہیں تو اے نبیؐ، ان سے کہدو کہ "میرے لیے الله ہی کافی ہے اس کے سوا اور کوئی معبود نہیں اسی پر میں بھروسہ کرتا ہوں اور وہی عرش عظیم کا مالک ہے"
The basic subjects of the Surah are: The non-believers who broke their treaties, Muslims have no obligation to honor treaties with them. Muslims must protect themselves from hypocrisy, weak faith and negligence. Battle of Tabuk and its lessons.

Quran 99:1~8

When the earth is shaken ˹in˺ its ultimate quaking, and when the earth throws out ˹all˺ its contents, and humanity cries, “What is wrong with it?”— on that Day the earth will recount everything, having been inspired by your Lord ˹to do so˺. On that Day people will proceed in separate groups to be shown ˹the consequences of˺ their deeds. So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it. And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it. Quran 99:1~8 [Surah Az Zilzal (the Earthquake, The Shaking)]
Al-Zalzalah (Arabic: الزلزلة, al-zalzalah, meaning: “The Quake”) is the 99th chapter (surah) of the Qur’an,

إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ أَثۡقَالَهَا وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مَا لَهَا یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ تُحَدِّثُ أَخۡبَارَهَا بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوۡحَىٰ لَهَا یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ یَصۡدُرُ ٱلنَّاسُ أَشۡتَاتࣰا لِّیُرَوۡا۟ أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ فَمَن یَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَیۡرࣰا یَرَهُۥ وَمَن یَعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةࣲ شَرࣰّا یَرَهُۥ
It takes its name after the first Ayat,
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا
“When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake.” [99:1]
جب زمین بھونچال سے ہلا دی جائے گی اور زمین اپنے (اندر) کے بوجھ نکال ڈالے گی اور انسان کہے گا کہ اس کو کیا ہوا ہے؟ اس روز وہ اپنے حالات بیان کردے گی کیونکہ تمہارے پروردگار نے اس کو حکم بھیجا (ہوگا) اس دن لوگ گروہ گروہ ہو کر آئیں گے تاکہ ان کو ان کے اعمال دکھا دیئے جائیں تو جس نے ذرہ بھر نیکی کی ہو گی وہ اس کو دیکھ لے گا اور جس نے ذرہ بھر برائی کی ہوگی وہ اسے دیکھ لے گا
Its theme is the second life after death and presentation in it, before man, of the full record of the deeds done by him in the world.
In the first three sentences it has been told briefly how the second life after death will take place and how confounding it will be for man.
In the next two sentences it has been said that this very earth on which man has lived and performed all kinds of deeds thoughtlessly, and about which he never could fancy that this lifeless thing would at some time in the future bear witness to his deeds, will speak out on that Day by God’s command and will state in respect of each individual person what act he had committed at a particular time and place.
Then, it has been said that men on that Day, rising from their graves, will come out in their varied groups from all corners of the earth, to be shown their deeds and works, and their presentation of the deeds will be so complete and detailed that not an atom’s weight of any good or evil act will be left unnoticed or hidden from his eyes.

Quran 8:20~23

O believers! Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn away from him while you hear ˹his call˺. Do not be like those who say, “We hear,” but in fact they are not listening. Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are the ˹wilfully˺ deaf and dumb, who do not understand. Had Allah known any goodness in them, He would have certainly made them hear. ˹But˺ even if He had made them hear, they would have surely turned away heedlessly. Quran 8:20~23

Quran 22:11~13

And there are some who worship Allah on the verge ˹of faith˺: if they are blessed with something good, they are content with it; but if they are afflicted with a trial, they relapse ˹into disbelief˺, losing this world and the Hereafter. That is ˹truly˺ the clearest loss. They call besides Allah what can neither harm nor benefit them. That is ˹truly˺ the farthest one can stray. They invoke those whose worship leads to harm, not benefit. What an evil patron and what an evil associate! Quran 22:11~13
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]
