Quran 68:17~29

Indeed, We have tested those ˹Meccans˺ as We tested the owners of the garden— when they swore they would surely harvest ˹all˺ its fruit in the early morning, leaving no thought for Allah’s Will. Then it was struck by a torment from your Lord while they slept, so it was reduced to ashes. Then by daybreak they called out to each other, ˹saying,˺ “Go early to your harvest, if you want to pick ˹all˺ the fruit.” So they went off, whispering to one another, “Do not let any poor person enter your garden today.”
Surah al-Qalam takes its name from the first Ayat,
ن ۚ وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ “Nun.
By the pen and what they inscribe,” [68:1].
And they proceeded early, totally fixated on their purpose. But when they saw it ˹devastated˺, they cried, “We must have lost ˹our˺ way! In fact, we have been deprived ˹ of our livelihood˺.” The most sensible of them said, “Did I not urge you to say, ‘Allah willing.’?” They replied, “Glory be to our Lord! We have truly been wrongdoers.” Quran 68:17~29 [Surah al-Qalam (The Pen)]
There are 52 Ayat in this Surah.

إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَـٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَاۤ أَصۡحَـٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُوا۟ لَیَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِینَ وَلَا یَسۡتَثۡنُونَ فَطَافَ عَلَیۡهَا طَاۤىِٕفࣱ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمۡ نَاۤىِٕمُونَ فَأَصۡبَحَتۡ كَٱلصَّرِیمِ فَتَنَادَوۡا۟ مُصۡبِحِینَ أَنِ ٱغۡدُوا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرۡثِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰرِمِینَ فَٱنطَلَقُوا۟ وَهُمۡ یَتَخَـٰفَتُونَ أَن لَّا یَدۡخُلَنَّهَا ٱلۡیَوۡمَ عَلَیۡكُم مِّسۡكِینࣱ وَغَدَوۡا۟ عَلَىٰ حَرۡدࣲ قَـٰدِرِینَ فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهَا قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّا لَضَاۤلُّونَ بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ قَالَ أَوۡسَطُهُمۡأ َلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ لَوۡلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ قَالُوا۟ سُبۡحَـٰنَ رَبِّنَاۤ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِینَ
The Surah tells us that the message of the Prophet is not the talk of a madman.
The writings of all scriptures bear testimony to the truth of this message.
ہم نے ان لوگوں کی اسی طرح آزمائش کی ہے جس طرح باغ والوں کی آزمائش کی تھی۔ جب انہوں نے قسمیں کھا کھا کر کہا کہ صبح ہوتے ہوتے ہم اس کا میوہ توڑ لیں گے اور انشاء الله نہ کہا سو وہ ابھی سو ہی رہے تھے کہ تمہارے پروردگار کی طرف سے (راتوں رات) اس پر ایک آفت پھر گئی تو وہ ایسا ہوگیا جیسے کٹی ہوئی کھیتی
It urges people to be charitable and help the poor and needy.
The story of the people of a garden is mentioned who wished to deny the charity to the poor and they suffered the consequence in losing everything.
جب صبح ہوئی تو وہ لوگ ایک دوسرے کو پکارنے لگے اگر تم کو کاٹنا ہے تو اپنی کھیتی پر سویرے ہی جا پہنچو تو وہ چل پڑے اور آپس میں چپکے چپکے کہتے جاتے تھے آج یہاں تمہارے پاس کوئی فقیر نہ آنے پائے اور کوشش کے ساتھ سویرے ہی جا پہنچے (گویا کھیتی پر) قادر ہیں جب باغ کو دیکھا تو (ویران) کہنے لگے کہ ہم رستہ بھول گئے ہیں نہیں بلکہ ہم (برگشتہ نصیب) بےنصیب ہیں ایک جو اُن میں فرزانہ تھا بولا کہ کیا میں نے تم سے نہیں کہا تھا کہ تم تسبیح کیوں نہیں کرتے؟ (تب) وہ کہنے لگے کہ ہمارا پروردگار پاک ہے بےشک ہم ہی قصوروار تھے
The Surah ends with the story of Prophet Jonah.
It urges the Prophet and through him his followers to continue this mission and not to give up in frustration.
The mission of Islam is for the whole world.

Quran 81:15~21

I do swear by the receding stars, which travel and hide, and the night as it falls and the day as it breaks ! surely, this is the Word (this Qur’an) of a honorable Messenger (Gabriel from Allah to Muhammad), possessor of mighty power, established (high rank) with the Owner of the Throne (Allah), obeyed (by the angels in the heaven), and trustworthy. Quran 81:15~21 [Surah at-Takwir ] (The Overthrowing, The Cessation)
The Surah takes it name from the first Ayat, إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ “When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]” [81:1]

فَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولࣲ كَرِیمࣲ ذِی قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِی ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِینࣲ مُّطَاعࣲ ثَمَّ أَمِینࣲ
The Surah talks about the end of the world. In a very powerful way, it gives us some of the scenes of the Last Day. All the natural power as well as the human power and authority will come to an end. This is a serious message not the words of a madman. The purpose of this message is to remind people to become morally upright.
پس نہیں، میں قسم کھاتا ہوں پلٹنے اور چھپ جانے والے تاروں کی اور قسم ہے رات کی جب وہ جانے لگے اور قسم ہے صبح کی جب وہ آنے لگے بے شک یہ قرآن ایک معزز رسول کا لایا ہوا ہے جو بڑا طاقتور ہے عرش کے مالک کے نزدیک بڑے رتبہ والا ہے وہاں کا سردار امانت دار ہے
It has two themes: the Hereafter and the institution of Apostleship. In the first six verses the first stage of the Resurrection has been mentioned when the sun will lose its light, the stars will scatter, the mountains will be uprooted and will disperse, the people will become heedless of their dearest possessions, the beasts of the jungle will be dazed and will gather together, and the seas will boil up. Then in the next seven verses, the second stage has been described when the souls will be reunited with the bodies, the records will be laid open, the people will be called to account for their crimes, Heaven and Hell will be brought into full view. After depicting the Hereafter thus, man has been left to ponder his own self and deeds, saying: “Then each man shall himself know what he has brought with him.”
After this the theme of Apostleship has been taken up. In this the people of Makkah have been addressed, as if to say “Whatever Muhammad is presenting before you, is not the bragging of a madman, nor an evil suggestion inspired by Satan, but the word of a noble, exalted and trustworthy messenger sent by God, whom Muhammad has seen with his own eyes in the bright horizon of the clear sky in broad day light. Where then are you going, having turned away from this teaching?”
