وَٱلذَّ ٰرِیَـٰتِ ذَرۡوࣰا فَٱلۡحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقۡرࣰا فَٱلۡجَـٰرِیَـٰتِ یُسۡرࣰا فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمۡرًا إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقࣱ وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّینَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ
The Surah gives the good news of the emergence of a new community. It also warns the opponents of the truth that their time is about to end and the judgment of Allah is near.
قسم ہے اُن ہواؤں کی جو گرد اڑانے والی ہیں پھر پانی سے لدے ہوئے بادل اٹھانے والی ہیں پھر سبک رفتاری کے ساتھ چلنے والی ہیں پھر ان فرشتوں کی جو حکم کے موافق چیزیں تقسیم کرنے والے ہیں حق یہ ہے کہ جس چیز کا تمہیں خوف دلایا جا رہا ہے وہ سچی ہے اور جزائے اعمال ضرور پیش آنی ہے

Quran 57:17 (Ayah al-Hadid)

Know that Allah revives the earth after its death. We have certainly made the signs clear for you so perhaps you will understand. Quran 57 :17 Surah al-Hadid (The Iron)
This Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَأَنزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ “…And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might …” (57:25).
There are 29 Ayat in this Surah.
ٱعۡلَمُوۤا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ یُحۡیِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ قَدۡ بَیَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلۡءَایَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ
The theme of this Surah is to exhort the Muslims to spend in the cause of God. At the most critical juncture of the history of Islam when it was engaged in a life and death struggle against Arab paganism, this Surah was revealed to persuade the Muslim’s to make monetary sacrifices in particular, and to make them realise that Islam did not merely consist in verbal affirmation and some outward practices but its essence and spirit is sincerity towards God and His Religion. The faith of the one who was devoid of this spirit and who regarded his own self and wealth as dearer to himself than God and His Religion, was hollow and therefore of little worth in the sight of God. For this object, first the attributes of God Almighty have been mentioned so that the listeners may fully realize as to Who is addressing them.
جان رکھو کہ خدا ہی زمین کو اس کے مرنے کے بعد زندہ کرتا ہے۔ ہم نے اپنی نشانیاں تم سے کھول کھول کر بیان کردی ہیں تاکہ تم سمجھو
Sections:
All knowledge and authority belongs to God. Have faith in Allah’s power, make sacrifice and give charity for the cause of truth.
Light and Life are for the Believers. The disbelievers walk in darkness. Warning to those who refuse to acknowledge Allah. Sincere in faith are those who are willing to sacrifice and help the poor and needy..
The life of this world is temporary. Compete with each other in doing good things to receive the eternal reward from Allah. Prophets were sent to establish justice with authority.
References to Prophets Noah, Ibrahim, and Jesus -peace be upon them all. All Prophets preached same message, but some of their followers went into extremes. The Christians thus invented monasticism for themselves. It was not commanded by God. The Believers are asked to have faith and walk in the light of Allah. The final success belongs to the Believers.

Quran 35:9

And it is Allah Who sends the winds, which then stir up ˹vapour, forming˺ clouds, and then We drive them to a lifeless land, giving life to the earth after its death. Similar is the Resurrection. Quran 35:9 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

وَٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِیۤ أَرۡسَلَ ٱلرِّیَـٰحَ فَتُثِیرُ سَحَابࣰا فَسُقۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ بَلَدࣲ مَّیِّتࣲ فَأَحۡیَیۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلنُّشُورُ
In this Surah Allah warns the non-believers on their negative attitude towards Islam and Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him.
The basic message is also explained to them.
وہ اللہ ہی تو ہے جو ہواؤں کو بھیجتا ہے، پھر وہ بادل اٹھاتی ہیں، پھر ہم اسے ایک اُجاڑ علاقے کی طرف لے جاتے ہیں اور اسی زمین کو جِلا اٹھاتے ہیں جو مری پڑی تھی مرے ہوئے انسانوں کا جی اٹھنا بھی اسی طرح ہوگا

Quran 24:43~44

Do you not see that Allah gently drives the clouds, then joins them together, piling them up into masses, from which you see raindrops come forth? And He sends down from the sky mountains ˹of clouds˺ loaded with hail, pouring it on whoever He wills and averting it from whoever He wills. The flash of the clouds’ lightning nearly takes away eyesight. Allah alternates the day and night. Surely in this is a lesson for people of insight. Quran 24:43~44 [Surah an-Nur (The Light) ]
Surah an-Nur [The Light] takes its name after the Ayat, اللَّـهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth….” [24:35].
The word Nur [light] is mentioned 7 times in this Surah, mentioned more times than in any other Surah of the Qur’an.
The Surah has 64 Ayat.

This Surah contains many rules for the development of a society based on righteousness and morality. It talks about male-female relations, rules of proper dress for Muslim women, rules for the punishment of adultery and punishment of those who accuse others of adultery or fornication.
کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ خدا ہی بادلوں کو چلاتا ہے، اور ان کو آپس میں ملا دیتا ہے، پھر ان کو تہ بہ تہ کردیتا ہے، پھر تم دیکھتے ہو کہ بادل میں سے مینہ نکل (کر برس) رہا ہے اور آسمان میں جو (اولوں کے) پہاڑ ہیں، ان سے اولے نازل کرتا ہے تو جس پر چاہتا ہے اس کو برسا دیتا ہے اور جس سے چاہتا ہے ہٹا دیتا ہے۔ اور بادل میں جو بجلی ہوتی ہے اس کی چمک آنکھوں کو خیرہ کرکے بینائی کو اُچکے لئے جاتی ہے اور خدا ہی رات اور دن کو بدلتا رہتا ہے۔ اہل بصارت کے لئے اس میں بڑی عبرت ہے

وَٱلسَّمَاۤءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجۡعِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلࣱ فَصۡلࣱ وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ
Every thing in this universe is working under the protection and supervision of Allah.
The creation of human beings as well as the creation of this universe is not a joke.
The creation is a serious work of Allah and so is His word, the Qur’an.
قسم ہے بارش برسانے والے آسمان کی اور (نباتات اگتے وقت) پھٹ جانے والی زمین کی کہ یہ کلام ( قرآن ) (حق کو باطل سے) جدا کرنے والا ہے ہنسی مذاق نہیں ہے
It discuses two themes:
first, that man has to appear before God after death;
second, that the Qur’an is a decisive Word which no plan or device of the disbelievers can defeat or frustrate
