Quran 79~1-14

By those (angels) who violently pull out (the souls of the disbelievers), by those (angels) who gently draw out (the souls of the believers), by those (angels) who swim swiftly (through space), by those (angels) who press forward in a race (to fulfill Allah’s orders), by those (angels) who arrange to execute the commands (of their Lord). On the Day when the first blowing of the trumpet will shake (the earth, the mountains, and everybody will die), the second blowing of the trumpet will follow it (everybody will raise up).
An-Nāziʻāt (Arabic: النازعات, “Those Who Pull Out”, in reference to “the angels who tear out the souls of the wicked”) is the seventy-ninth surah of the Qur’an, with 46 ayat.
On that Day, hearts will beat (with fear and anxiety), their eyes will be downcast. They (disbelievers) say: “Shall we really be returned to the former state of life, when we will become crumbled bones?” They say: “In that case, it would be a return with loss!” But it will be only a single shout (the second blowing of the trumpet), when they will be awakened (alive after death). Quran 79:1~14 Surah an-Nazi`at (Soul-snatchers)
وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرۡقࣰا وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشۡطࣰا وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبۡحࣰا فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبۡقࣰا فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَ ٰتِ أَمۡرࣰا یَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ قُلُوبࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ وَاجِفَةٌ أَبۡصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةࣱ یَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِی ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمࣰا نَّخِرَةࣰ قَالُوا۟ تِلۡكَ إِذࣰا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةࣱ فَإِنَّمَا هِیَ زَجۡرَةࣱ وَ ٰحِدَةࣱ فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
Its name derived from the word wan-nazi‘at with which it opens. The root (n-z-‘) roughly means “to yank out with great force”, although it can also mean “to yearn for” or “to yearn after”
قسم ہے اُن (فرشتوں کی) جو [کافروں کی جان] ڈوب کر کھینچتے ہیں اور[مومنوں کی جان] آہستگی سے نکال لے جاتے ہیں اور (اُن فرشتوں کی جو کائنات میں) تیزی سے تیرتے پھرتے ہیں پھر (حکم بجا لانے میں) سبقت کرتے ہیں پھر (احکام الٰہی کے مطابق) معاملات کا انتظام چلاتے ہیں جس روز ہلا مارے گا زلزلے کا جھٹکا اور اس کے پیچھے ایک اور جھٹکا پڑے گا
It speaks about Allah’s angels who take the souls at the time of death. As Allah has power to take away the souls, as He has created the whole universe, He also has the power to resurrect people after their death. The story of Prophet Moses and Pharaoh is mentioned to warn the people about the consequences of arrogant pride which leads to the denial of the truth.
کچھ دل ہوں گے جو اُس روز خوف سے کانپ رہے ہوں گے نگاہیں اُن کی سہمی ہوئی ہوں گی یہ لوگ کہتے ہیں "کیا واقعی ہم پلٹا کر پھر واپس لائے جائیں گے؟ کیا جب ہم کھوکھلی بوسیدہ ہڈیاں بن چکے ہوں گے؟“ کہنے لگے "یہ واپسی تو پھر بڑے گھاٹے کی ہوگی!“ حالانکہ یہ بس اتنا کام ہے کہ ایک شديد ہيبت ناک آواز پڑے گی اور یکایک یہ کھلے میدان میں موجود ہوں گے

Quran 2:286

Allah does not require of any soul more than what it can afford. All good will be for its own benefit, and all evil will be to its own loss. ˹The believers pray,˺ “Our Lord ! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord ! Do not place a burden on us like the one you placed on those before us. Our Lord ! Do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our ˹only˺ Guardian. So grant us victory over the disbelieving people.” Quran 2:286
Al-Baqara, alternatively transliterated Al-Baqarah (Arabic: البقرة, ’al-baqarah; lit. “The Heifer” or “The Cow”), is the second and longest chapter (surah) of the Quran.
It consists of 286 verses (āyāt)

لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا ٱكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًۭا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ ۖ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَفِرِينَ
The surah encompasses a variety of topics and contains several commands for Muslims such as enjoining fasting on the believer during the month of Ramadan; forbidding interest or usury (riba); and several famous verses such as The Throne Verse, Al-Baqara 256, and the final two or three verses. The surah addresses a wide variety of topics, including substantial amounts of law, and retells stories of Adam, Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses). A major theme is guidance: urging the pagans (Al-Mushrikeen) and the Jews of Medina to embrace Islam, and warning them and the hypocrites (Munafiqun) of the fate God had visited in the past on those who failed to heed his call.
اللہ کسی متنفس پر اُس کی مقدرت سے بڑھ کر ذمہ داری کا بوجھ نہیں ڈالتا ہر شخص نے جو نیکی کمائی ہے، اس کا پھل اسی کے لیے ہے اور جو بدی سمیٹی ہے، اس کا وبال اسی پر ہے (ایمان لانے والو! تم یوں دعا کیا کرو) اے ہمارے رب! ہم سے بھول چوک میں جو قصور ہو جائیں، ان پر گرفت نہ کر مالک! ہم پر وہ بوجھ نہ ڈال، جو تو نے ہم سے پہلے لوگوں پر ڈالے تھے پروردگار! جس بار کو اٹھانے کی طاقت ہم میں نہیں ہے، وہ ہم پر نہ رکھ، ہمارے ساتھ نرمی کر، ہم سے در گزر فرما، ہم پر رحم کر، تو ہمارا مولیٰ ہے، کافروں کے مقابلے میں ہماری مدد کر

Quran 2:264

O believers ! Do not waste your charity with reminders ˹of your generosity˺ or hurtful words, like those who donate their wealth just to show off and do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. Their example is that of a hard barren rock covered with a thin layer of soil hit by a strong rain—leaving it just a bare stone. Such people are unable to preserve the reward of their charity. Allah does not guide ˹such˺ disbelieving people. Quran 2:264
Al-Baqara, alternatively transliterated Al-Baqarah (Arabic: البقرة, ’al-baqarah; lit. “The Heifer” or “The Cow”), is the second and longest chapter (surah) of the Quran.

مومنو! اپنے صدقات (وخیرات) احسان رکھنے اور ایذا دینے سے اس شخص کی طرح برباد نہ کردینا۔ جو لوگوں کو دکھاوے کے لئے مال خرچ کرتا ہے اور خدا اور روز آخرت پر ایمان نہیں رکھتا۔ تو اس (کے مال) کی مثال اس چٹان کی سی ہے جس پر تھوڑی سی مٹی پڑی ہو اور اس پر زور کا مینہ برس کر اسے صاف کر ڈالے۔ (اسی طرح) یہ (ریاکار) لوگ اپنے اعمال کا کچھ بھی صلہ حاصل نہیں کرسکیں گے۔ اور خدا ایسے ناشکروں کو ہدایت نہیں دیا کرتا

Quran 40:57~59

The creation of the heavens and the earth is certainly greater than the re-creation of humankind, but most people do not know. Those blind ˹to the truth˺ and those who can see are not equal, nor are those who believe and do good ˹equal˺ to those who do evil. Yet you are hardly mindful. The Hour is certainly coming, there is no doubt about it. But most people do not believe.
Ghafir (Arabic: غافر, ghāfir; meaning: “The All-Forgiving”, referring to God), also known as Al-Muʼmin (Arabic: المؤمن, ’al-mu’min; meaning: The Believer), is the 40th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an, with 85 verses (āyāt).

لَخَلْقُ ٱلسَّمَوَتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ‎ ‏وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ وَٱلْبَصِيرُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّلِحَتِ وَلَا ٱلْمُسِىٓءُۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ‎ ‏إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌۭ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
There are seven Surahs (al-Mu’min, HaMim al-Sajdah, al-Shura, al-Zukhruf, al-Dukhan, al-Jathiyah, al-Ahqaf) that begin with the word “HaMim”. Thus these seven Surahs are also called “al-Hawamim”. These are Surahs of Da’wah, inviting people to believe in Allah, take advantage of the mercy of Allah. There is solace and comfort in these Surahs for the Believers who were persecuted because of their faith and they are given the good news that the truth will prevail.
آسمانوں اور زمین کا پیدا کرنا لوگوں کے پیدا کرنے کی نسبت بڑا (کام) ہے لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں جانتے اور اندھا اور آنکھ والا برابر نہیں۔ اور نہ ایمان لانے والے نیکوکار اور نہ بدکار (برابر ہیں) (حقیقت یہ ہے کہ) تم بہت کم غور کرتے ہو قیامت آنے والی ہے اس میں کچھ شک نہیں۔ لیکن اکثر لوگ ایمان نہیں رکھتے
