Quran 7:179

Indeed, We have destined many jinn and humans for Hell. They have hearts they do not understand with, eyes they do not see with, and ears they do not hear with. They are like cattle. In fact, they are even less guided! Such ˹people˺ are ˹entirely˺ heedless. Quran 7:179
The Surah is named after the story of the men awaiting on the “Elevations” between Paradise and Hell.
It comprises of 206 Ayat.

وَلَقَدۡ ذَرَأۡنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِیرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبࣱ لَّا یَفۡقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡیُنࣱ لَّا یُبۡصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ ءَاذَانࣱ لَّا یَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَاۤۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ كَٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰفِلُونَ
Al-A’raf – The Elevations. Allah mentions Paradise and Hellfire and then speaks of the ‘elevations’ between them reserved for some amongst humanity. These people not knowing what will happen to them. The people of Hell-fire will be refused water as it will be prohibited for the disbelievers in the after-life.
اور یہ حقیقت ہے کہ بہت سے جن اور انسان ایسے ہیں جن کو ہم نے جہنم ہی کے لیے پیدا کیا ہے ان کے پاس دل ہیں مگر وہ ان سے سوچتے نہیں ان کے پاس آنکھیں ہیں مگر وہ ان سے دیکھتے نہیں ان کے پاس کان ہیں مگر وہ ان سے سنتے نہیں وہ جانوروں کی طرح ہیں بلکہ ان سے بھی زیادہ گئے گزرے، یہی وہ ہیں جو غفلت میں کھو گئے ہیں
The basic theme of this Surah is Risalah, i.e. Allah’s message as it was sent through many messengers. Several Prophets and parts of their stories are mentioned to emphasize Prophets’ mission and their struggle with their people. The Surah tells us that Allah’s Prophets suffered for the cause of truth. Their enemies tried to harm them, but then Allah helped his prophets and defeated their enemies. The Surah emphasizes that the true message must be presented under all circumstances. After the Prophets it is the duty of the Believers to convey the message of Allah to all people.

Quran 43:67~73

Close friends will be enemies to one another on that Day, except the righteous, ˹ who will be told,˺ “O My servants ! There is no fear for you Today, nor will you grieve—˹those˺ who believed in Our signs and ˹fully˺ submitted ˹to Us˺. Enter Paradise, you and your spouses, rejoicing.” Golden trays and cups will be passed around to them. There will be whatever the souls desire and the eyes delight in. And you will be there forever. That is the Paradise which you will be awarded for what you used to do. There you will have abundant fruit to eat from. Quram 43:67~73
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.

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.
(جو آپس میں) دوست (ہیں) اس روز ایک دوسرے کے دشمن ہوں گے۔ مگر پرہیزگار (کہ باہم دوست ہی رہیں گے) میرے بندو آج تمہیں نہ کچھ خوف ہے اور نہ تم غمناک ہوگے جو لوگ ہماری آیتوں پر ایمان لائے اور فرمانبردار ہوگئے (ان سے کہا جائے گا) کہ تم اور تمہاری بیویاں عزت (واحترام) کے ساتھ بہشت میں داخل ہوجاؤ ان پر سونے کی پرچوں اور پیالوں کا دور چلے گا۔ اور وہاں جو جی چاہے اور جو آنکھوں کو اچھا لگے (موجود ہوگا) اور (اے اہل جنت) تم اس میں ہمیشہ رہو گے اور یہ جنت جس کے تم مالک کر دیئے گئے ہو تمہارے اعمال کا صلہ ہے وہاں تمہارے لئے بہت سے میوے ہیں جن کو تم کھاؤ گے

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

Quran 5:7

Remember Allah’s favour upon you and the covenant He made with you when you said, “We hear & obey.” And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart. Quran 5:7
The name of the Surah is taken from the incident of the disciples of Jesus asking him to pray for a Table spread with food [5:112].
Other name used for this Surah include:
al-Uqood [The Covenants]
There are 120 Ayat in Surah al-Maidah

وَٱذۡكُرُوا۟ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَیۡكُمۡ وَمِیثَـٰقَهُ ٱلَّذِی وَاثَقَكُم بِهِۦۤ إِذۡ قُلۡتُمۡ سَمِعۡنَا وَأَطَعۡنَاۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِیمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ
The chapter’s topics include animals which are forbidden, and Jesus’ and Moses’ missions. Verse 90 prohibits “The intoxicant” (alcohol). Verse 8 Contains the passage: “Do not let the hatred of a people lead you to injustice”.
Al-Tabligh Verse 67 is relevant to the Farewell Pilgrimage and Ghadir Khumm.[Quran 5:67]
A folio from an 8th century Qur’anic codex, the text after the first red-ink inscription is of the beginning of Surah Al-Mā’idah
Verses (Q5:32-33) have been quoted to denounce killing, by using an abbreviated form such as, “If anyone kills a person, it would be as if he killed the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people”.
This verse is similar to that of one from the Talmud
اور خدا نے جو تم پر احسان کئے ہیں ان کو یاد کرو اور اس عہد کو بھی جس کا تم سے قول لیا تھا (یعنی) جب تم نے کہا تھا کہ ہم نے (خدا کا حکم) سن لیا اور قبول کیا۔ اور الله سے ڈرو۔ کچھ شک نہیں کہ خدا دلوں کی باتوں (تک) سے واقف ہے
There are six main points discussed in this Surah:
All obligations whether they are divine or human should be fulfilled. When we have a pledge or promise or sign a treaty we must abide by it. Also Allah gave some rules for life to keep us clean and sober. Cleanliness of the body, living with justice, being upright and moral, avoiding sin, corruption and superstition, and doing the deeds of piety and righteousness are important rules and principles and must be observed.
Message to the People of the Book i.e. Christians and Jews to recognize the truth. Allah’s punishment comes on those who reject Allah’s rules and knowingly violate them.
The story of the two children of Adam is told. This story has many lessons. Sometime even your brothers become envious of you and they harm you. Just and righteous persons sometimes suffer at the hands of their own family members, but God’s judgment also comes. The righteous under no situation give up right attitude and behavior.
Muslims must deal with justice with all people. Justice should be impartial, even to their enemies they must be just. However, relations among Muslims themselves should be deeper. There should not be only justice but also love, brotherhood, care and concern for each other.
Enjoy the good things that Allah has given, but guard against excesses. Do not indulge in swearing, gambling, intoxicants, superstitions, violation of the sanctities of the Sanctuary of Allah (the Ka’bah).
Jesus – peace be upon him – was a great prophet of Allah and he performed many miracles. His teachings were corrupted by some after his departure.

He is the One Who has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book, of which some verses are precise—they are the foundation of the Book— while others are elusive.

Quran 50:30~35

˹Beware of˺ the Day We will ask Hell, “Are you full ˹yet˺?” And it will respond, “Are there any more?” And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far off. ˹And it will be said to them,˺ “This is what you were promised, for whoever ˹constantly˺ turned ˹to Allah˺ and kept up ˹His commandments˺— who were in awe of the Most Compassionate without seeing ˹Him˺, and have come with a heart turning ˹only to Him˺. Enter it in peace. This is the Day of eternal life!” There they will have whatever they desire, and with Us is ˹even˺ more. Quran 50:30~35

The Surah emphasizes the theme of resurrection and the ultimate success of those who have faith in Allah and His Prophets.
اس دن ہم دوزخ سے پوچھیں گے کہ کیا تو بھر گئی؟ وہ کہے گی کہ کچھ اور بھی ہے؟ اور بہشت پرہیزگاروں کے قریب کردی جائے گی (کہ مطلق) دور نہ ہوگی یہی وہ چیز ہے جس کا تم سے وعدہ کیا جاتا تھا (یعنی) ہر رجوع لانے والے حفاظت کرنے والے سے جو خدا سے بن دیکھے ڈرتا ہے اور رجوع لانے والا دل لے کر آیا اس میں سلامتی کے ساتھ داخل ہوجاؤ۔ یہ ہمیشہ رہنے کا دن ہے وہاں وہ جو چاہیں گے ان کے لئے حاضر ہے اور ہمارے ہاں اور بھی (بہت کچھ) ہے
