Quran 23:26~29

Noah prayed, “My Lord! Help me, because they have denied ˹me˺.” So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions. Then when Our command comes and the oven bursts ˹with water˺, take on board a pair from every species along with your family— except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed. And do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”
Then when you and those with you have settled in the Ark, say, “All praise is for Allah, Who saved us from the wrongdoing people.” And pray, “My Lord! Allow me a blessed landing, for You are the best accommodator.” Quran 23:26~29 Surah al-Mu`minun (The Believers)
Surah al-Mu’minum [The Believers] takes its name after the first Ayat, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ “Certainly will the Believers have succeeded.” [23:1].
This Surah has 118 Ayat.

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱنصُرۡنِی بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ فَأَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَیۡهِ أَنِ ٱصۡنَعِ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ بِأَعۡیُنِنَا وَوَحۡیِنَا فَإِذَا جَاۤءَ أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ فَٱسۡلُكۡ فِیهَا مِن كُلࣲّ زَوۡجَیۡنِ ٱثۡنَیۡنِ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَیۡهِ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَلَا تُخَـٰطِبۡنِی فِی ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوۤا۟ إِنَّهُم مُّغۡرَقُونَ فَإِذَا ٱسۡتَوَیۡتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَّعَكَ عَلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ فَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِی نَجَّىٰنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلۡنِی مُنزَلࣰا مُّبَارَكࣰا وَأَنتَ خَیۡرُ ٱلۡمُنزِلِینَ
In this Surah people are invited to accept and follow the Prophet. This is the central theme of the Surah. It speaks about the character of true believers and assures that they will be the real successful people. It draws attention to various stages of human creation, to many other universal signs. Then it takes some of the stories of other prophets and tells us that they also preached the same message.
نوحؑ نے کہا "پروردگار، ان لوگوں نے جو میری تکذیب کی ہے اس پر اب تو ہی میری مدد فرما" ہم نے اس پر وحی کی کہ "ہماری نگرانی میں اور ہماری وحی کے مطابق کشتی تیار کر پھر جب ہمارا حکم آ جائے اور تنور ابل پڑے تو ہر قسم کے جانوروں میں سے ایک ایک جوڑا لے کر اس میں سوار ہو جا، اور اپنے اہل و عیال کو بھی ساتھ لے سوائے اُن کے جن کے خلاف پہلے ہی فیصلہ ہو چکا ہے، اور ظالموں کے معاملہ میں مجھ سے کچھ نہ کہنا، یہ اب غرق ہونے والے ہیں
پھر جب تو اپنے ساتھیوں سمیت کشتی پر سوار ہو جائے تو کہہ، شکر ہے اُس خدا کا جس نے ہمیں ظالم لوگوں سے نجات دی اور کہہ، پروردگار، مجھ کو برکت والی جگہ اتار اور تُو بہترین جگہ دینے والا ہے"

The character of the Believers. Various stages of human creation and Allah’s signs in the universe.
The Message of Prophet Noah, his people’s response and then the flood.
Generations were raised after Prophet Noah. Many prophets were sent among them. Then came Prophet Moses and Aaron and then came Jesus – peace be upon them all.
All prophets are one Ummah and preached the same religion. Those who are affluent think that they are also the righteous people, but the righteous are only those who do the good deeds.
Everything in the heaven and earth belongs to Allah.
Prophet’s job is to continue presenting the message of Allah.

Quran 11:45~47

Noah called out to his Lord, saying, “My Lord! Certainly my son is ˹also˺ of my family, Your promise is surely true, and You are the most just of all judges!” Allah replied, “O Noah! He is certainly not of your family— he was entirely of unrighteous conduct. So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of! I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance.” Noah pleaded, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of, and unless You forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be one of the losers.” Quran 11:45~47 Surah Hud
The mention of Prophet Hud occurs more time in this Surah than any other Surah of the Qur’an. It appears a total of 5 times.
The Prophet refered to this surah as Hud in a number of hadeeth. Abu Bakr once said to the Prophet, ‘O Messenger of Allah, you have become old.’ The Prophet said, ‘I have become old [due to] [Surah] Hud, al-Waqiah [56], al-Murasalat [77], Amma yatasailoon [an-Naba 78] and Waidha ash-Shamsu kuwirat [at-Takweer 81].” [Tirmidhee]
There are 123 Ayat in this Surah.

وَنَادَىٰ نُوحࣱ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبۡنِی مِنۡ أَهۡلِی وَإِنَّ وَعۡدَكَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحۡكَمُ ٱلۡحَـٰكِمِینَ قَالَ یَـٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَیۡسَ مِنۡ أَهۡلِكَۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَیۡرُ صَـٰلِحࣲۖ فَلَا تَسۡءَلۡنِ مَا لَیۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌۖ إِنِّیۤ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجَـٰهِلِینَ قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّیۤ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنۡ أَسۡءَلَكَ مَا لَیۡسَ لِی بِهِۦ عِلۡمࣱۖ وَإِلَّا تَغۡفِرۡ لِی وَتَرۡحَمۡنِیۤ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡخَـٰسِرِینَ
In this Surah we have the stories of Prophets Noah, Salih, Hud, Lot, Shuaib and Moses – peace be upon them all. The basic point is that Allah sent His Prophets and Messengers to mankind out of His grace and mercy, but when people did not listen to the Prophets and rejected their message then Allah’s punishment came and came relentlessly. It did not make any difference whether someone was the son of a Prophet or his wife or any one, none could escape Allah’s judgment.
اور نوح نے اپنے پروردگار کو پکارا اور کہا کہ پروردگار میرا بیٹا بھی میرے گھر والوں میں ہے (تو اس کو بھی نجات دے) تیرا وعدہ سچا ہے اور تو سب سے بہتر حاکم ہے خدا نے فرمایا کہ نوح وہ تیرے گھر والوں میں نہیں ہے وہ تو ناشائستہ افعال ہے تو جس چیز کی تم کو حقیقت معلوم نہیں ہے اس کے بارے میں مجھ سے سوال ہی نہ کرو۔ اور میں تم کو نصیحت کرتا ہوں کہ نادان نہ بنو نوح نے کہا پروردگار میں تجھ سے پناہ مانگتا ہوں کہ ایسی چیز کا تجھ سے سوال کروں جس کی حقیقت مجھے معلوم نہیں۔ اور اگر تو مجھے نہیں بخشے گا اور مجھ پر رحم نہیں کرے گا تو میں تباہ ہوجاؤں گا

Quran 44:22~31

Ultimately, he (Moses) cried out to his Lord, “These are a wicked people!” ˹Allah responded,˺ “Leave with My servants at night, for you will surely be pursued. And leave the sea parted, for they are certainly an army bound to drown.” ˹Imagine˺ how many gardens and springs the tyrants left behind, as well as ˹various˺ crops and splendid residences, and luxuries which they fully enjoyed. So it was. And We awarded it ˹all˺ to another people. Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor was their fate delayed. And We certainly delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment of Pharaoh. He was truly a tyrant, a transgressor. Quran 44:22~31 (Surah ad-Dukhan)
This Surah takes its name from the Ayat, فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ “Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.” (44:10)
There are 59 Ayat in this Surah.

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ قَوۡمࣱ مُّجۡرِمُونَ فَأَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِی لَیۡلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ وَٱتۡرُكِ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاۖ إِنَّهُمۡ جُندࣱ مُّغۡرَقُونَ كَمۡ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَعُیُونࣲ وَزُرُوعࣲ وَمَقَامࣲ كَرِیمࣲ وَنَعۡمَةࣲ كَانُوا۟ فِیهَا فَـٰكِهِینَ كَذَ ٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَـٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِینَ فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِینَ وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّیۡنَا بَنِیۤ إِسۡرَ ٰۤءِیلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِینِ مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِیࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ
The Surah warns about the punishment of Allah. When the punishment will come then no one can avert it.
The division between the righteous and wicked in the Hereafter will be the final decision of Allah.
آخرکار اُس (حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام) نے اپنے رب کو پکارا کہ یہ لوگ مجرم ہیں (جواب دیا گیا) اچھا تو راتوں رات میرے بندوں کو لے کر چل پڑ تم لوگوں کا پیچھا کیا جائے گا سمندر کو اُس کے حال پر کھلا چھوڑ دے یہ سارا لشکر غرق ہونے والا ہے کتنے ہی باغ اور چشمے اور کھیت اور شاندار محل تھے جو وہ چھوڑ گئے کتنے ہی عیش کے سر و سامان، جن میں وہ مزے کر رہے تھے اُن کے پیچھے دھرے رہ گئے یہ ہوا اُن کا انجام، اور ہم نے دوسروں کو اِن چیزوں کا وارث بنا دیا پھر نہ آسمان اُن پر رویا نہ زمین، اور ذرا سی مہلت بھی ان کو نہ دی گئی اِس طرح بنی اسرائیل کو ہم نے سخت ذلت کے عذاب فرعون سے نجات دی جو حد سے گزر جانے والوں میں فی الواقع بڑے اونچے درجے کا آدمی تھا
