Quran 24:36~38

˹That light shines˺ through houses ˹of worship˺ which Allah has ordered to be raised, and where His Name is mentioned. He is glorified there morning and evening by men who are not distracted—either by buying or selling— from Allah’s remembrance, or performing prayer, or paying alms-tax. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will tremble, ˹hoping˺ that Allah may reward them according to the best of their deeds, and increase them out of His grace. And Allah provides for whoever He wills without limit. Quran 24:36~38
Surah an-Nur [The Light] takes its name after the Ayat, اللَّـهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth….” [24:35].

فِی بُیُوتٍ أَذِنَ ٱللَّهُ أَن تُرۡفَعَ وَیُذۡكَرَ فِیهَا ٱسۡمُهُۥ یُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ فِیهَا بِٱلۡغُدُوِّ وَٱلۡءَاصَالِ رِجَالࣱ لَّا تُلۡهِیهِمۡ تِجَـٰرَةࣱ وَلَا بَیۡعٌ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَإِیتَاۤءِ ٱلزَّكَوٰةِ یَخَافُونَ یَوۡمࣰا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِیهِ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرُ لِیَجۡزِیَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَحۡسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَیَزِیدَهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦۗ وَٱللَّهُ یَرۡزُقُ مَن یَشَاۤءُ بِغَیۡرِ حِسَابࣲ

(اُس کے نور کی طرف ہدایت پانے والے) اُن گھروں میں پائے جاتے ہیں جنہیں بلند کرنے کا، اور جن میں اپنے نام کی یاد کا اللہ نے اذن دیا ہے اُن میں ایسے لوگ صبح و شام اُس کی تسبیح کرتے ہیں جنہیں تجارت اور خرید و فروخت اللہ کی یاد سے اور اقامت نماز و ادائے زکوٰۃ سے غافل نہیں کر دیتی وہ اُس دن سے ڈرتے رہتے ہیں جس میں دل الٹنے اور دیدے پتھرا جانے کی نوبت آ جائے گی (اور وہ یہ سب کچھ اس لیے کرتے ہیں) تاکہ اللہ ان کے بہترین اعمال کی جزا اُن کو دے اور مزید اپنے فضل سے نوازے، اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے بے حساب دیتا ہے

Quran 4:74~76

Let those of you who are willing to trade the life of this world for the life to come, fight in Allah’s way. To anyone who fights in Allah’s way, whether they achieve martyrdom or victory, We shall give a great reward Why should you not fight in Allah’s cause and for those oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, ‘Lord, rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors ! By Your grace, give us a protector and give us a helper !’ The believers fight for Allah’s cause, while those who reject faith fight for an unjust cause. Fight the allies of Satan: Satan’s strategies are truly weak Quran 4:74~76

۞ فَلۡیُقَـٰتِلۡ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِینَ یَشۡرُونَ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡیَا بِٱلۡءَاخِرَةِۚ وَمَن یُقَـٰتِلۡ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ فَیُقۡتَلۡ أَوۡ یَغۡلِبۡ فَسَوۡفَ نُؤۡتِیهِ أَجۡرًا عَظِیمࣰا وَمَا لَكُمۡ لَا تُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمُسۡتَضۡعَفِینَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاۤءِ وَٱلۡوِلۡدَ ٰنِ ٱلَّذِینَ یَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَاۤ أَخۡرِجۡنَا مِنۡ هَـٰذِهِ ٱلۡقَرۡیَةِ ٱلظَّالِمِ أَهۡلُهَا وَٱجۡعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِیࣰّا وَٱجۡعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِیرًا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ یُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ یُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ فَقَـٰتِلُوۤا۟ أَوۡلِیَاۤءَ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنِۖ إِنَّ كَیۡدَ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنِ كَانَ ضَعِیفًا
An-Nisa’ (Arabic: ٱلنساء, An-Nisāʾ; meaning: The Women) is the fourth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 176 verses (āyāt). The title derives from the numerous references to women throughout the chapter, including verse 34 and verses 127-130.
تو انہیں اللہ کی راہ میں لڑنا چاہئے جو دنیا کی زندگی بیچ کر آخرت لیتے ہیں اور جو اللہ کی راہ میں لڑے پھر مارا جائے یا غالب آئے تو عنقریب ہم اسے بڑا ثواب دیں گے، اور تمہیں کیا ہوا کہ نہ لڑو اللہ کی راہ میں اور کمزور مردوں اور عورتوں اور بچوں کے واسطے جو یہ دعا کررہے ہیں کہ اے ہمارے رب ہمیں اس بستی سے نکال جس کے لوگ ظالم ہیں اور ہمیں اپنے پاس سے کوئی حمایتی دے دے اور ہمیں اپنے پاس سے کوئی مددگار دے دے، ایمان والے اللہ کی راہ میں لڑتے ہیں اور کفار شیطان کی راہ میں لڑتے ہیں تو شیطان کے دوستوں سے لڑو بیشک شیطان کا داؤ کمزور ہے
Thematically, “an-Nisā” not only addresses concerns about women, but also discusses inheritance, marriage laws, how to deal with children and orphans, legal practices, jihād, relations between Muslim communities and People of the Book, war, and the role of Jesus as a prophet, rather than the son of God as Christians claimed.[5] Furthermore, in discussing war, this surah encourages the Muslim community to fight for the vulnerable in war,[7] as demonstrated by 4:75: “Why should you not fight in God’s cause and for those oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, ‘Lord, rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors! By Your grace, give us a protector and give us a helper!’?”[9] The surah addresses a multitude of issues faced by the early Muslim community and responds to the challenges the community faced.
