Quran 14:32~34

It is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down rain from the sky, causing fruits to grow as a provision for you. He has subjected the ships for your service, sailing through the sea by His command, and has subjected the rivers for you. He has ˹also˺ subjected for you the sun and the moon, both constantly orbiting, and has subjected the day and night for you. And He has granted you all that you asked Him for. If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would never be able to number them. Indeed humankind is truly unfair, ˹totally˺ ungrateful. [Quran 14:32~34 (Surah Ibrahim)].
The Surah derives its name from Ibrahim, the father of all prophets who came after him.
There are 52 ayat in this Surah.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءࣰ فَأَخۡرَجَ بِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَ ٰتِ رِزۡقࣰا لَّكُمۡۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ لِتَجۡرِیَ فِی ٱلۡبَحۡرِ بِأَمۡرِهِۦۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرَ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ دَاۤىِٕبَیۡنِۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّیۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَءَاتَىٰكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلۡتُمُوهُۚ وَإِن تَعُدُّوا۟ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحۡصُوهَاۤۗ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ لَظَلُومࣱ كَفَّارࣱ
The basic theme of the Surah is Allah’s guidance through His prophets.
The purpose of this guidance is to take the people from darkness to light.
Many people in the past had doubts about their prophets.
They laughed at them and they threatened to kill them or expel them from their towns.
However, the lasting word is the “good word.” The Surah also mentions Prophet Ibrahim’s prayer when he established the city of Makkah.
اللہ وہی تو ہے جس نے زمین اور آسمانوں کو پیدا کیا اور آسمان سے پانی برسایا، پھر اس کے ذریعہ سے تمہاری رزق رسانی کے لیے طرح طرح کے پھل پیدا کیے جس نے کشتی کو تمہارے لیے مسخر کیا کہ سمندر میں اُس کے حکم سے چلے اور دریاؤں کو تمہارے لیے مسخر کیا جس نے سورج اور چاند کو تمہارے لیے مسخر کیا کہ لگاتار چلے جا رہے ہیں اور رات اور دن کو تمہارے لیے مسخر کیا جس نے وہ سب کچھ تمہیں دیا جو تم نے مانگا اگر تم اللہ کی نعمتوں کا شمار کرنا چاہو تو کر نہیں سکتے حقیقت یہ ہے کہ انسان بڑا ہی بے انصاف اور ناشکرا ہے

Quran 43:12~14

And ˹He is the One˺ Who created all ˹things in˺ pairs, and made for you ships and animals to ride, so that you may sit firmly on their backs, and remember your Lord’s blessings once you are settled on them, saying, “Glory be to the One Who has subjected these for us, for we could have never done so ˹on our own˺. And surely to our Lord we will ˹all˺ return.” Quran 43:12~14
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.

وَٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ ٱلۡأَزۡوَ ٰجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ مَا تَرۡكَبُونَ لِتَسۡتَوُۥا۟ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذۡكُرُوا۟ نِعۡمَةَ رَبِّكُمۡ إِذَا ٱسۡتَوَیۡتُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ وَتَقُولُوا۟ سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِی سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقۡرِنِینَ وَإِنَّاۤ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
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.
وہی جس نے یہ تمام جوڑے پیدا کیے، اور جس نے تمہارے لیے کشتیوں اور جانوروں کو سواری بنایا تاکہ تم اُن کی پشت پر چڑھو اور جب اُن پر بیٹھو تو اپنے رب کا احسان یاد کرو اور کہو کہ "پاک ہے وہ جس نے ہمارے لیے اِن چیزوں کو مسخر کر دیا ورنہ ہم انہیں قابو میں لانے کی طاقت نہ رکھتے تھے اور ایک روز ہمیں اپنے رب کی طرف پلٹنا ہے"

Quran 26:78~85

˹He is˺ the One Who created me, and He ˹alone˺ guides me. ˹He is˺ the One Who provides me with food and drink. And He ˹alone˺ heals me when I am sick. And He ˹is the One Who˺ will cause me to die, and then bring me back to life. And He is ˹the One˺ Who, I hope, will forgive my flaws on Judgment Day.” “My Lord! Grant me wisdom, and join me with the righteous. Bless me with honourable mention among later generations. Make me one of those awarded the Garden of Bliss. Quran 26:78~85 (Prophet Ibrahim’s Supplication)
Ash-Shu‘ara’ (Arabic: الشعراء, ’ash-shu‘arā’; meaning: The Poets) is the 26th chapter (sūrah) of the Qurʾan with 227 verses (āyāt). Many of these verses are very short. The chapter is named from the word Ash-Shu’ara in ayat 224.

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ‎ ‏وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ ‎ ‏وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ‎ ‏وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ‎ ‏وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ‎ ‏رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّلِحِينَ ‎ ‏وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍۢ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ‎ ‏وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
The non-believers were asking for signs to prove that the Qur’an was the word of Allah. Allah mentioned many signs both in nature and in history. Stories of many prophets are also mentioned to indicate that all prophets presented basically the same message.
جس نے مجھے پیدا کیا پھر وہی مجھے راہ دکھاتا ہے اور وہ جو مجھے کھلاتا اور پلاتا ہے اور جب میں بیمار ہوتا ہوں تو وہی مجھے شفا دیتا ہے اور وہ جو مجھے مارے گا پھر زندہ کرے گا اور وہ جو مجھے امید ہے کہ میرے گناہ قیامت کے دن مجھے بخش دے گا اے میرے رب مجھے کمال علم عطا فرما اور مجھے نیکیوں کے ساتھ شامل کر اور آئندہ آنے والی نسلوں میں میرا ذکر خیر باقی رکھ اور مجھے نعمت کے باغ کے وارثوں میں کر دے
The chapter talks about various prophets and their tribes, and how the disbelievers were destroyed after threatening the prophets with death. It also talks about the mercy of God (Allah). This surah starts with the story of Moses, followed by that of Abraham.
