Quran 38:73~85

So the angels prostrated all together— but not Iblîs, who acted arrogantly, becoming unfaithful. Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with My Own Hands? Did you ˹just˺ become proud? Or have you always been arrogant?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.” Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed. And surely upon you is My condemnation until the Day of Judgment.” Satan appealed, “My Lord! Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.” Allah said, “You will be delayed until the appointed Day.” Satan said, “By Your Glory! I will certainly mislead them all, except Your chosen servants among them.” Allah concluded, “The truth is—and I ˹only˺ say the truth—: I will surely fill up Hell with you and whoever follows you from among them, all together.” Quran 38:73~85
The Surah takes its name from the letter ‘Sad’ which is in the first Ayat, ص ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ “Sad.
By the Qur’an containing reminder…” (38:1).
There are 88 Ayat in this Surah.

فَسَجَدَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةُ كُلُّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعُونَ إِلَّاۤ إِبۡلِیسَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ قَالَ یَـٰۤإِبۡلِیسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسۡجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقۡتُ بِیَدَیَّۖ أَسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ أَمۡ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَالِینَ قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَیۡرࣱ مِّنۡهُ خَلَقۡتَنِی مِن نَّارࣲ وَخَلَقۡتَهُۥ مِن طِینࣲ قَالَ فَٱخۡرُجۡ مِنۡهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِیمࣱ وَإِنَّ عَلَیۡكَ لَعۡنَتِیۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلدِّینِ قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرۡنِیۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ یُبۡعَثُونَ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُنظَرِینَ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغۡوِیَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِینَ قَالَ فَٱلۡحَقُّ وَٱلۡحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنۡهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِینَ
The Surah talks about the basic message of all the Prophets and Messengers of Allah. They came to preach Tawhid.
The Prophet suffered and went through a lot of hardship in presenting Allah’s message.
Their enemies attacked them and persecuted them, but then finally it was the truth that prevailed and falsehood was defeated. Power and riches all come from Allah.
Some people become arrogant when they have power. But Allah gave the examples of David and Solomon who were great prophets as well as powerful kings. They obey Allah. Their riches did not corrupt them.
تو تمام فرشتوں نے سجدہ کیا مگر شیطان اکڑ بیٹھا اور کافروں میں ہوگیا (خدا نے) فرمایا کہ اے ابلیس جس شخص کو میں نے اپنے ہاتھوں سے بنایا اس کے آگے سجدہ کرنے سے تجھے کس چیز نے منع کیا۔ کیا تو غرور میں آگیا یا اونچے درجے والوں میں تھا؟ بولا کہ میں اس سے بہتر ہوں (کہ) تو نے مجھ کو کو آگ سے پیدا کیا اور اِسے مٹی سے بنایا فرمایا یہاں سے نکل جا تو مردود ہے اور تجھ پر قیامت کے دن تک میری لعنت (پڑتی) رہے گی کہنے لگا کہ میرے پروردگار مجھے اس روز تک کہ لوگ اٹھائے جائیں مہلت دے فرمایا کہ تجھ کو مہلت دی جاتی ہے اس روز تک جس کا وقت مقرر ہے کہنے لگا کہ مجھے تیری عزت کی قسم میں ان سب کو بہکاتا رہوں گا سوا ان کے جو تیرے خالص بندے ہیں فرمایا سچ (ہے) اور میں بھی سچ کہتا ہوں کہ میں تجھ سے اور جو ان میں سے تیری پیروی کریں گے سب سے جہنم کو بھر دوں گا
Then, in v. 6-19 it has been said that whether man is conscious of this fact or not, he in any case is moving to the destination where he will appear and stand before his Lord. At that time all human beings will divide into two parts: first those whose records will be given in their right hands: they will be forgiven without any severe reckoning; second those whose records will be given them behind their back. They will wish that they should die somehow, but they will not die; instead they will be cast into Hell. They will be met with this fate because in the world they remained lost in the misunderstanding that they would never have to appear before God to render an account of their deeds, whereas their Lord was watching whatever they were doing and there was no reason why they should escape the accountability for their deeds. Their moving gradually from the life of the world to the meting out of rewards and punishments in the Hereafter was as certain as the appearance of twilight after sunset, the coming of the night after the day, the returning of men and animals to their respective abodes at night and the growing of the crescent into full moon. In conclusion, the disbelievers who repudiate the Qur’an instead of bowing down to God when they hear it, have been forewarned of a grievous punishment and the good news of limitless rewards has been given to the believers and the righteous.

Quran 43:87~89

If you ask them ˹O Prophet˺ who created them, they will certainly say, “Allah!” How can they then be deluded ˹from the truth˺? ˹Allah is Aware of˺ the Prophet’s cry: “O my Lord! Indeed, these are a people who persist in disbelief.” So bear with them and respond with peace. They will soon come to know. Quran 43:87~89
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.

وَلَىِٕن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَهُمۡ لَیَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ یُؤۡفَكُونَ وَقِیلِهِۦ یَـٰرَبِّ إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ قَوۡمࣱ لَّا یُؤۡمِنُونَ فَٱصۡفَحۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَقُلۡ سَلَـٰمࣱۚ فَسَوۡفَ یَعۡلَمُونَ
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 اگر تم ان سے پوچھو کہ ان کو کس نے پیدا کیا ہے تو کہہ دیں گے کہ خدا نے۔ تو پھر یہ کہاں بہکے پھرتے ہیں؟ اور (بسااوقات) پیغمبر کہا کرتے ہیں کہ اے پروردگار یہ ایسے لوگ ہیں کہ ایمان نہیں لاتے تو ان سے منہ پھیر لو اور سلام کہہ دو۔ ان کو عنقریب (انجام) معلوم ہوجائے گا

Quran 43:85~87

And Blessed is the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between ! With Him ˹alone˺ is the knowledge of the Hour. And to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned. ˹But˺ those ˹objects of worship˺ they invoke besides Him have no power to intercede, except those who testify to the truth knowingly. If you ask them ˹O Prophet˺ who created them, they will certainly say, “Allah!” How can they then be deluded ˹from the truth˺? Quran 43:85~87
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَزُخْرُفًا ۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَالْآخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ “And gold ornament.

Quran 41:19~23

˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the enemies of Allah will be gathered for the Fire, all driven in ranks. When they reach it, their ears, eyes, and skin will testify against what they used to do. They will ask their skin ˹furiously˺, “Why have you testified against us?” It will say, “We have been made to speak by Allah, Who causes all things to speak. He ˹is the One Who˺ created you the first time, and to Him you were bound to return. You did not ˹bother to˺ hide yourselves from your ears, eyes, and skin to prevent them from testifying against you. Rather, you assumed that Allah did not know much of what you used to do. It was that ˹false˺ assumption you entertained about your Lord that has brought about your doom, so you have become losers.” Quran 41:19~23
The Surah is known as ‘Fussilat’ and ‘Haa Meem as-Sajdah’. There are 54 Ayat in this Surah.

The subject matter of this Surah is Da’wah. It invites to the truth, gives warnings to those who reject the truth, and tells us that the appeal to the truth is within our nature. It tells us also that the Believers receive strength from Allah’s revelation. The revelation gives life to those who were spiritually and morally dead at one time. The Surah contains both good news and warnings.
اور ذرا اُس وقت کا خیال کرو جب اللہ کے یہ دشمن دوزخ کی طرف جانے کے لیے گھیر لائے جائیں گے اُن کے اگلوں کو پچھلوں کے آنے تک روک رکھا جائے گا پھر جب سب وہاں پہنچ جائیں گے تو ان کے کان اور ان کی آنکھیں اور ان کے جسم کی کھالیں ان پر گواہی دیں گی کہ وہ دنیا میں کیا کچھ کرتے رہے ہیں وہ اپنے جسم کی کھالوں سے کہیں گے "تم نے ہمارے خلاف کیوں گواہی دی؟“ وہ جواب دیں گی "ہمیں اُسی خدا نے گویائی دی ہے جس نے ہر چیز کو گویا کر دیا ہے اُسی نے تم کو پہلی مرتبہ پیدا کیا تھا اور اب اُسی کی طرف تم واپس لائے جا رہے ہو تم دنیا میں جرائم کرتے وقت جب چھپتے تھے تو تمہیں یہ خیال نہ تھا کہ کبھی تمہارے اپنے کان اور تمہاری آنکھیں اور تمہارے جسم کی کھالیں تم پر گواہی دیں گی بلکہ تم نے تو یہ سمجھا تھا کہ تمہارے بہت سے اعمال کی اللہ کو بھی خبر نہیں ہے تمہارا یہی گمان جو تم نے اپنے رب کے ساتھ کیا تھا، تمہیں لے ڈوبا اور اسی کی بدولت تم خسارے میں پڑ گئے"

Quran 23:112~115

He (Allah) will ask ˹them˺, “How many years did you remain on earth?” They will reply, “We remained ˹only˺ a day or part of a day. But ask those who kept count.” He (Allah) will say, “You only remained for a little while, if only you knew. Did you then think that We had created you without purpose, and that you would never be returned to Us?” Quran 23:112~115

In this Surah people are invited to accept and follow the Prophet. This is the central theme of the Surah. It speaks about the character of true believers and assures that they will be the real successful people. It draws attention to various stages of human creation, to many other universal signs. Then it takes some of the stories of other prophets and tells us that they also preached the same message.
(خدا) پوچھے گا کہ تم زمین میں کتنے برس رہے؟ وہ کہیں گے کہ ہم ایک روز یا ایک روز سے بھی کم رہے تھے، شمار کرنے والوں سے پوچھ لیجیئے (خدا) فرمائے گا کہ (وہاں) تم (بہت ہی) کم رہے۔ کاش تم جانتے ہوتے کیا تم یہ خیال کرتے ہو کہ ہم نے تم کو بےفائدہ پیدا کیا ہے اور یہ تم ہماری طرف لوٹ کر نہیں آؤ گے؟

The Message of Prophet Noah, his people’s response and then the flood.
Generations were raised after Prophet Noah. Many prophets were sent among them. Then came Prophet Moses and Aaron and then came Jesus – peace be upon them all.
All prophets are one Ummah and preached the same religion. Those who are affluent think that they are also the righteous people, but the righteous are only those who do the good deeds.
Everything in the heaven and earth belongs to Allah.
Prophet’s job is to continue presenting the message of Allah.
