Quran 113:1~5

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak from the evil of whatever He has created, and from the evil of the night when it grows dark, and from the evil of those ˹witches casting spells by˺ blowing onto knots, and from the evil of an envier when they envy.” Quran 113:1~5 [al-Falaq (The Daybreak, Dawn)]
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat,
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ
“Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak” [113:1].

There are 5 Ayat in this Surah.

قُلۡ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلۡفَلَقِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّـٰثَـٰتِ فِی ٱلۡعُقَدِ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
The Surah reminds us that evil is lurching everywhere and things can become harmful.
One should always be conscious, do right things and seek Allah’s protection.
کہو، میں پناہ مانگتا ہوں صبح کے رب کی ہر اُس چیز کے شر سے جو اُس نے پیدا کی ہے اور رات کی تاریکی کے شر سے جب کہ وہ چھا جائے اور گرہوں میں پھونکنے والوں (یا والیوں) کے شر سے اور حاسد کے شر سے جب کہ وہ حسد کرے
Al-Falaq or The Daybreak (Arabic: اَلْفَلَق, al-falaq) is the 113th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an.
It is a brief five ayat (verse) surah, asking God for protection from evil:

Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak,

From the evil of His creation

And from the evil of darkness when it settles

And from the evil of the blowers in knots

And from the evil of an envier when he envies.

Quran 100:1~11

’ By the galloping, panting horses, striking sparks of fire ˹with their hoofs˺, launching raids at dawn, stirring up ˹clouds of˺ dust, and penetrating into the heart of enemy lines ! Surely humankind is ungrateful to their Lord— and they certainly attest to this — and they are truly extreme in their love of ˹worldly˺ gains. Do they not know that when the contents of the graves will be spilled out, and the secrets of the hearts will be laid bare— surely their Lord is All-Aware of them on that Day. Hadees: 100:1~11 [al-`Adiyat (The Courser, The Chargers)]
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالْعَادِيَاتِ ضَبْحًا “By the racers, panting,” [100:1]
There are 11 Ayat in this Surah.
وَٱلۡعَـٰدِیَـٰتِ ضَبۡحࣰا فَٱلۡمُورِیَـٰتِ قَدۡحࣰا فَٱلۡمُغِیرَ ٰتِ صُبۡحࣰا فَأَثَرۡنَ بِهِۦ نَقۡعࣰا فَوَسَطۡنَ بِهِۦ جَمۡعًا إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ لِرَبِّهِۦ لَكَنُودࣱ وَإِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ ذَ ٰلِكَ لَشَهِیدࣱ وَإِنَّهُۥ لِحُبِّ ٱلۡخَیۡرِ لَشَدِیدٌ ۞ أَفَلَا یَعۡلَمُ إِذَا بُعۡثِرَ مَا فِی ٱلۡقُبُورِ وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِی ٱلصُّدُورِ إِنَّ رَبَّهُم بِهِمۡ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ لَّخَبِیرُۢ
The Surah tells us the ungratefulness of man and where it leads him. It also reminds us that Allah is aware of all the hidden secrets of human souls and He will expose them on the Day of Judgment.
قسم ہے اُن (گھوڑوں) کی جو پھنکارے مارتے ہوئے دوڑتے ہیں پھر (اپنی ٹاپوں سے) چنگاریاں جھاڑتے ہیں پھر صبح سویرے چھاپہ مارتے ہیں پھر اس موقع پر گرد و غبار اڑاتے ہیں پھر اِسی حالت میں کسی مجمع کے اندر جا گھستے ہیں حقیقت یہ ہے کہ انسان اپنے رب کا بڑا ناشکرا ہے اور وہ خود اِس پر گواہ ہے اور وہ مال و دولت کی محبت میں بری طرح مبتلا ہے تو کیا وہ اُس حقیقت کو نہیں جانتا جب قبروں میں جو کچھ (مدفون) ہے اُسے نکال لیا جائے گا اور سینوں میں جو کچھ (مخفی) ہے اُسے برآمد کر کے اس کی جانچ پڑتال کی جائے گی؟ یقیناً اُن کا رب اُس روز اُن سے خوب باخبر ہوگا
Its object is to make the people realise how evil man becomes when he denies the Hereafter, or becomes heedless of it, and also to warn them that in the Hereafter not only their visible and apparent deeds but even the secrets hidden in their hearts too will be subjected to scrutiny.
For this purpose the general chaos and confusion prevailing in Arabia, with which the whole country was in turmoil, has been presented as an argument. Bloodshed, loot and plunder raged on every side. Tribes were subjecting tribes to raids, and no one could have peaceful sleep at night from fear that some enemy tribe might raid his settlement early in the morning. Every Arab was fully conscious of this state of affairs and realised that it was wrong. Although the plundered bemoaned his miserable, helpless state and the plunderer rejoiced, yet when the plunderer himself was plundered, he too realised how wretched was the condition in which the whole nation was involved. Referring to this very state of affairs, it has been said: Unaware of the second life after death and his accountability before God in it, man has become ungrateful to his Lord and Sustainer. He is using the powers and abilities given by God for perpetrating tyranny and pillage; blinded by the love of worldly wealth he tries to obtain it by every means, however impure and filthy, and his own state itself testifies that by abusing the powers bestowed by his Lord, he is being ungrateful to Him. He would never have behaved so, had he known the time when the dead will be raised from the graves, and when the intentions and motives with which he had done all sorts of deeds in the world, will be exposed and brought out before everyone to see. At that time the Lord and Sustainer of men shall be well informed of what one had done and what punishment or reward one deserved.

Quran 3:16~17

And Allah is All-Seeing of ˹His˺ servants, who pray, “Our Lord! We have believed, so forgive our sins and protect us from the torment of the Fire.” ˹It is they˺ who are patient, sincere, obedient, and charitable, and who pray for forgiveness before dawn. Quran 3:16~17
Al Imran (Arabic: آل عمران, āl ʿimrān; meaning: The Family of Imran) is the third chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with two hundred verses (āyāt).

ٱلَّذِینَ یَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَاۤ إِنَّنَاۤ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ وَٱلۡقَـٰنِتِینَ وَٱلۡمُنفِقِینَ وَٱلۡمُسۡتَغۡفِرِینَ بِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ
It is named after Ale-Imran ‘the family of Imran’ – Imran being the grandfather of Jesus [Isa], and the father of Mary [Maryam]. Other than this Surah, Imran is not mentioned in the rest of the Qur’an with the exception of Surah 66: at-Tahreem – ‘Maryam daughter of Imran’ [66:12].
Zahra – The Prophet is reported to have called al-Baqarah and Ale-Imran as ‘Zahrawayn’ [Two Lights (of guidance)]
جو خدا سے التجا کرتے ہیں کہ اے پروردگار ہم ایمان لے آئے سو ہم کو ہمارے گناہ معاف فرما اور دوزخ کے عذاب سے محفوظ رکھ یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جو (مشکلات میں) صبر کرتے اور سچ بولتے اور عبادت میں لگے رہتے اور (راہ خدا میں) خرچ کرتے اور اوقات سحر میں گناہوں کی معافی مانگا کرتے ہیں
The main topics of this Surah are Tawhid, Prophethood and the truth of the Qur’ an. As Surah al-Baqarah discussed the issues related to Bani Israel, this Surah discusses some issues related to the Christian community and their religious positions. It also discusses the subjects of Hajj, Jihad, Zakat and Riba. It ends, like Surah al-Baqarah, with a profound dua.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Shall I inform you of what is better than ˹all of˺ this?

We have believed, so forgive our sins and protect us from the torment of the Fire.” ˹It is they˺ who are patient, sincere, obedient, and charitable, and who pray for forgiveness before dawn.

سب تعریفیں الله کے لیے ہیں جو سب جہانوں کا پالنے والا ہے بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم والا جزا کے دن کا مالک ہم تیری ہی عبادت کرتے ہیں اور تجھ ہی سے مدد مانگتے ہیں ہمیں سیدھا راستہ دکھا ان لوگوں کا راستہ جن پر تو نے انعام کیا نہ جن پر تیرا غضب نازل ہوا اور نہ وہ گمراہ ہوئے
