Quran 17:88~89

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If ˹all˺ humans and jinn were to come together to produce the equivalent of this Quran, they could not produce its equal, no matter how they supported each other.” And We have truly set forth every ˹kind of˺ lesson for humanity in this Quran, yet most people persist in disbelief. Quran 17:88~89 Surah al-Isra` (Children of Israel)
Al-Isrāʾ (Arabic: الإسراء; meaning: The Night Journey),
also known as Banī Isrāʾīl (Arabic: بني إسرائيل; meaning:
The Children of Israel) is the 17th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 111 verses (āyāt).

قُل لَّىِٕنِ ٱجۡتَمَعَتِ ٱلۡإِنسُ وَٱلۡجِنُّ عَلَىٰۤ أَن یَأۡتُوا۟ بِمِثۡلِ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ لَا یَأۡتُونَ بِمِثۡلِهِۦ وَلَوۡ كَانَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ لِبَعۡضࣲ ظَهِیرࣰا وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِی هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلࣲ فَأَبَىٰۤ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورࣰا
The word Isra’ refers to the “night journey” of the prophet Muhammad.
This surah is part of a series al-Musabbihat surahs because it begins with the glorification of God.
کہہ دو کہ اگر انسان اور جن اس بات پر مجتمع ہوں کہ اس قرآن جیسا بنا لائیں تو اس جیسا نہ لاسکیں گے اگرچہ وہ ایک دوسرے کو مددگار ہوں اور ہم نے قرآن میں سب باتیں طرح طرح سے بیان کردی ہیں۔ مگر اکثر لوگوں نے انکار کرنے کے سوا قبول نہ کیا
This surah takes its name from the first verse which, in Islamic tradition, tells the event of the Isra,
the transportation of Muhammad during the night from the Great Mosque of Mecca to what is referred to as “the farthest Mosque”.”
The exact location is specified in the Qurran in Arabic words أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا but this is commonly taken to Noble Sanctuary (Temple Mount) in Jerusalem. Some scholars disagree about this (see Isra and Mi’raj) lively .
While the city of Jerusalem (or al Quds , Al-Aqsa mosque) is mentioned by name anywhere in the Qur’an,[citation needed]
The first verse refers to Mohammed being taken from the ‘Masjid ul-harram’ to the ‘Masjid al-Aqsa’:
Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We (God) did bless,-
so that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).

Quran 10:4

To Him is your return all together. Allah’s promise is ˹always˺ true. Indeed, He originates the creation then resurrects it so that He may justly reward those who believe and do good. But those who disbelieve will have a boiling drink and a painful punishment for their disbelief. Quran 10:4 Surah Yunus (Jonah)
The surah is named after the Prophet Yunus [Jonah] and this is the only surah of the Qur’an to mention the ‘people of Yunus’ –
“Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah?
When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time” (10:98)
There are 109 Ayat in this Surah.

إِلَیۡهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِیعࣰاۖ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقًّاۚ إِنَّهُۥ یَبۡدَؤُا۟ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیدُهُۥ لِیَجۡزِیَ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۚ وَٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَهُمۡ شَرَابࣱ مِّنۡ حَمِیمࣲ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِیمُۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ یَكۡفُرُونَ
The main subject of this Surah is faith in Allah and belief in the Hereafter.
Those who have true faith, they worship Allah and recognize Him as their Lord and Master and live their lives in accordance to His command.
Allah sent His Messengers to remind people and to warn them.
The stories of Prophets Noah and Prophet Moses with Pharaoh are told to remind people about the consequences of unfaithfulness and arrogance.
تم سب کو اسی کی طرف لوٹ کر جانا ہے الله کا وعدہ سچا ہے وہی پہلی مرتبہ پیدا کرتا ہے پھر وہی دوبارہ پیدا کرے گا تاکہ جو لوگ ایمان لائے اورنیک کام کیے انہیں انصاف کے ساتھ بدلہ دے اور جن لوگو ں نے کفر کیا ان کے واسطے کھولتا ہوا پانی پینے کو ہوگا اوران کے کفر کے سبب سے دردناک عذاب ہوگا

Quran 19:36~39

˹Jesus also declared,˺ “Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.” Yet their ˹various˺ groups have differed among themselves ˹about him˺, so woe to the disbelievers when they face a tremendous Day! How clearly will they hear and see on the Day they will come to Us! But today the wrongdoers are clearly astray. And warn them ˹O Prophet˺ of the Day of Regret, when all matters will be settled, while they are ˹engrossed˺ in heedlessness and disbelief. Quran 19:36~39 Surah MAryam (MARY)
The Surah is named after Maryam, the mother of Isa [Jesus].
Allah’s Messenger said, “Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the perfection except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh.
And the superiority of Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals.” [Bukhari 3769]
There are 98 Ayat in this Surah.
وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّی وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَ ٰطࣱ مُّسۡتَقِیمࣱ فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَیۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن مَّشۡهَدِ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمٍ أَسۡمِعۡ بِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصِرۡ یَوۡمَ یَأۡتُونَنَاۖ لَـٰكِنِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ ٱلۡیَوۡمَ فِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ مُّبِینࣲ وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَسۡرَةِ إِذۡ قُضِیَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَهُمۡ فِی غَفۡلَةࣲ وَهُمۡ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ
The subject matter of this Surah is the true message and teachings of the Prophets of Allah.
Several Prophets are mentioned here: Zakariyya, Yahya, Isa and his mother Maryam, Ibrahim, Musa, Ismail and Idris -may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon all of them.
Allah blessed these Prophets.
They taught Tawhid and called their people to the worship of Allah alone.
Great miracles and signs were also shown in the lives of these Prophets and Messengers.
(اور عیسٰیؑ نے کہا تھا کہ) "اللہ میرا رب بھی ہے اور تمہارا رب بھی، پس تم اُسی کی بندگی کرو، یہی سیدھی راہ ہے" مگر پھر مختلف گروہ باہم اختلاف کرنے لگے سو جن لوگوں نے کفر کیا ان کے لیے وہ وقت بڑی تباہی کا ہوگا جب کہ وہ ایک بڑا دن دیکھیں گے جب وہ ہمارے سامنے حاضر ہوں گے اُس روز تو اُن کے کان بھی خوب سُن رہے ہوں گے اور اُن کی آنکھیں بھی خوب دیکھتی ہوں گی، مگر آج یہ ظالم کھلی گمراہی میں مبتلا ہیں اے نبیؐ، اِس حالت میں جبکہ یہ لوگ غافل ہیں اور ایمان نہیں لا رہے ہیں، اِنہیں اس دن سے ڈرا دو جبکہ فیصلہ کر دیا جائے گا اور پچھتاوے کے سوا کوئی چارہ کار نہ ہوگا

Quran 15:10~15

Indeed, We sent messengers before you ˹O Prophet˺ among the groups of early peoples, but no messenger ever came to them without being mocked. This is how We allow disbelief ˹to steep˺ into the hearts of the wicked. They would not believe in this ˹Quran˺ despite the ˹many˺ examples of those ˹destroyed˺ before. And even if We opened for them a gate to heaven, through which they continued to ascend, still they would say, “Our eyes have truly been dazzled! In fact, we must have been bewitched.” Quran 15:10~15
It is named ‘Hijr’ after the valley located between Madinah and Sham [Greater Syria], where the people of Salih, Thamud lived.
There are 99 Ayat in this Surah.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِی شِیَعِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ وَمَا یَأۡتِیهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ یَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُۥ فِی قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِینَ وَلَوۡ فَتَحۡنَا عَلَیۡهِم بَابࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ فَظَلُّوا۟ فِیهِ یَعۡرُجُونَ لَقَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتۡ أَبۡصَـٰرُنَا بَلۡ نَحۡنُ قَوۡمࣱ مَّسۡحُورُونَ
The main theme of the Surah is divine guidance, and people’s response. Allah’s warns those who deny this message and as a reminder of these warnings, we have here the stories of Prophet Lot’s people, Thamud and other groups.
اے محمدؐ، ہم تم سے پہلے بہت سی گزری ہوئی قوموں میں رسول بھیج چکے ہیں کبھی ایسا نہیں ہوا کہ اُن کہ پاس کوئی رسول آیا ہو اور اُنہوں نے اُس کا مذاق نہ اڑایا ہو مجرمین کے دلوں میں تو ہم اس ذکر کو اِسی طرح (سلاخ کے مانند) گزارتے ہیں وہ اِس پر ایمان نہیں لایا کرتے قدیم سے اِس قماش کے لوگوں کا یہی طریقہ چلا آ رہا ہے اگر ہم اُن پر آسمان کا کوئی دروازہ کھول دیتے اور وہ دن دہاڑے اُس میں چڑھنے بھی لگتے تب بھی وہ یہی کہتے کہ ہماری آنکھوں کو دھوکا ہو رہا ہے، بلکہ ہم پر جادو کر دیا گیا ہے

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
