Quran 61:12~13 (Ayah as-Saff)

He will forgive your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and ˹house you in˺ splendid homes in the Gardens of Eternity. That is the ultimate triumph. ˹He will also give you˺ another favour that you long for: help from Allah and an imminent victory. ˹So˺ give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the believers. Quran 61:12~13 Surah as-Saff (The Battle Array)
The Surah takes it name from the fourth Ayat, إِنَّ اللَّـهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ “Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly.” [61:4].
There are 14 Ayat in this Surah.
یَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوبَكُمۡ وَیُدۡخِلۡكُمۡ جَنَّـٰتࣲ تَجۡرِی مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ وَمَسَـٰكِنَ طَیِّبَةࣰ فِی جَنَّـٰتِ عَدۡنࣲۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِیمُ وَأُخۡرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَاۖ نَصۡرࣱ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَتۡحࣱ قَرِیبࣱۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ
The Surah exhorts Muslims to be in a united front and not be hypocritical in their actions. The Surah speaks about Prophet Moses and his difficulties with his own people. He told them to follow Allah’s rules and they did not listen to him. Then Allah sent Jesus among them and he also reminded them about Allah and gave them the good news of the coming of Prophet Muhammad. But they continue in their stubborn denial. The Surah ends with the good news that the true religion will prevail in the end and Allah will give it victory.
اللہ تمہارے گناہ معاف کر دے گا، اور تم کو ایسے باغوں میں داخل کرے گا جن کے نیچے نہریں بہتی ہوں گی، اور ابدی قیام کی جنتوں میں بہترین گھر تمہیں عطا فرمائے گا یہ ہے بڑی کامیابی اور وہ دوسری چیز جو تم چاہتے ہو وہ بھی تمہیں دے گا، اللہ کی طرف سے نصرت اور قریب ہی میں حاصل ہو جانے والی فتح اے نبیؐ، اہل ایمان کو اِس کی بشارت دے دو

Quran 54:9~16 (Ayah al-Qamar)

Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺ and rejected Our servant, calling ˹him˺ insane. And he was intimidated. So he cried out to his Lord, “I am helpless, so help ˹me˺!” So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring rain, and caused the earth to burst with springs, so the waters met for a fate already set. We carried him on that ˹Ark made˺ of planks and nails, sailing under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes— a ˹fair˺ punishment on behalf of the one ˹they˺ denied. We certainly left this as a sign. So is there anyone who will be mindful? Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings! Quran 54:9~16 Surah al-Qamar (The Moon)
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat,
اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ
“The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].” (54:1).
Surah al-Qamar is in the 27th Juzz and the word Qamar [moon] appears in the Qur’an 27 times.
An interesting observation is that the Moon orbits the Earth every 27 days.
There are 55 Ayat in this Surah.
۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحࣲ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجۡنُونࣱ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنِّی مَغۡلُوبࣱ فَٱنتَصِرۡ فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ أَبۡوَ ٰبَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ بِمَاۤءࣲ مُّنۡهَمِرࣲ وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُیُونࣰا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَاۤءُ عَلَىٰۤ أَمۡرࣲ قَدۡ قُدِرَ وَحَمَلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَ ٰحࣲ وَدُسُرࣲ تَجۡرِی بِأَعۡیُنِنَا جَزَاۤءࣰ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَـٰهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ
The Surah talks about the approaching Day of Judgment. It describes some of the scenes of that Day.
It also tells us that Allah’s judgment may come here and now.
There are references to the flood that came at the time of Prophet Noah, the punishment of the people of ‘Ad, Thamud, People of Prophet Lot, the Pharaoh and his people.
It ends with the good news for the Believers who will be near their Lord in the gardens of bliss.
ان سے پہلے نوحؑ کی قوم نے بھی تکذیب کی تھی تو انہوں نے ہمارے بندے کو جھٹلایا اور کہا کہ دیوانہ ہے اور انہیں ڈانٹا بھی تو انہوں نے اپنے پروردگار سے دعا کی کہ (بار الٓہا) میں (ان کے مقابلے میں) کمزور ہوں تو (ان سے) بدلہ لے پس ہم نے زور کے مینہ سے آسمان کے دہانے کھول دیئے اور زمین میں چشمے جاری کردیئے تو پانی ایک کام کے لئے جو مقدر ہوچکا تھا جمع ہوگیا اور ہم نے نوحؑ کو ایک کشتی پر جو تختوں اور میخوں سے تیار کی گئی تھی سوار کرلیا وہ ہماری آنکھوں کے سامنے چلتی تھی۔ (یہ سب کچھ) اس شخص کے انتقام کے لئے (کیا گیا) جس کو کافر مانتے نہ تھے اور ہم نے اس کو ایک عبرت بنا چھوڑا تو کوئی ہے کہ سوچے سمجھے؟ سو (دیکھ لو کہ) میرا عذاب اور ڈرانا کیسا ہوا؟

Quran 47:7

O believers! If you stand up for Allah, He will help you and make your steps firm. Quran 47:7 Surah Muhammad
This Surah is named after our beloved Messenger, Muhammad. His name is mentioned in the following Ayat وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَآمَنُوا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۙ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ “And those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what has been sent down upon Muhammad – and it is the truth from their Lord – He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition.” (47:2)
The Surah is also known as ‘Surah al-Qital’ [Fighting].

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوۤا۟ إِن تَنصُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ یَنصُرۡكُمۡ وَیُثَبِّتۡ أَقۡدَامَكُمۡ
The title is derived from the direct mentioning of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 47:2. It also has the name of Al-Qitāl (Arabic: القتال), which translates to fighting due to the context of the sura. This sura pertains to a specific conflict that arose from people prohibiting the acceptance and spread of Islam. It refers to the Battle of Badr, where an army was being gathered to attack Medina. The Battle of Badr took place during Ramadan, in year 2 of the Islamic calendar.
اے اہل ایمان! اگر تم خدا کی مدد کرو گے تو وہ بھی تمہاری مدد کرے گا اور تم کو ثابت قدم رکھے گا

Quran 6:39~41 (Partial)

Those who deny Our signs are ˹wilfully˺ deaf and dumb— lost in darkness. Allah leaves whoever He wills to stray and guides whoever He wills to the Straight Way. Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Imagine if you were overwhelmed by Allah’s torment or the Hour— would you call upon any other than Allah ˹for help˺? ˹Answer me˺ if your claims are true! No! He is the only One you would call. Quran 6:39~41 (Partial) Surah al-An`am (Livestock)
Al-An’am (Arabic: ٱلأنعام, al-ʾanʿām; meaning: The Cattle) is the sixth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 165 verses (āyāt).

وَٱلَّذِینَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِءَایَـٰتِنَا صُمࣱّ وَبُكۡمࣱ فِی ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِۗ مَن یَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ یُضۡلِلۡهُ وَمَن یَشَأۡ یَجۡعَلۡهُ عَلَىٰ صِرَ ٰطࣲ مُّسۡتَقِیمࣲ قُلۡ أَرَءَیۡتَكُمۡ إِنۡ أَتَىٰكُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ أَتَتۡكُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَغَیۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَدۡعُونَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ بَلۡ إِیَّاهُ تَدۡعُونَ
This surah dwells on such themes as the clear signs of Allah’s Dominion and Power, rejecting polytheism and unbelief, the establishment of Tawhid (pure monotheism), the Revelation, Messengership, and Resurrection.
اور جن لوگوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلایا وہ بہرے اور گونگے ہیں (اس کے علاوہ) اندھیرے میں (پڑے ہوئے) جس کو خدا چاہے گمراہ کردے اور جسے چاہے سیدھے رستے پر چلا دے کہو (کافرو) بھلا دیکھو تو اگر تم پر خدا کا عذاب آجائےیا قیامت آموجود ہو تو کیا تم (ایسی حالت میں) خدا کے سوا کسی اور کو پکارو گے؟ اگر سچے ہو (تو بتاؤ) بلکہ (مصیبت کے وقت تم) اسی کو پکارتے ہو )تو جس دکھ کے لئے اسے پکارتے ہو )
Paying attention carefully to the contents of the verses of this Surah can remove the soul of hypocrisy and disperse from among Muslims, and cause the ears to be hearing, the eyes to be clear-sighted, and the hearts (minds) to be knowledgeable.

Quran 11:88

He (Prophet Shu’aib) said, “O my people! Consider if I stand on a clear proof from my Lord and He has blessed me with a good provision from Him. I do not want to do what I am forbidding you from.

قَالَ یَـٰقَوۡمِ أَرَءَیۡتُمۡ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَیِّنَةࣲ مِّن رَّبِّی وَرَزَقَنِی مِنۡهُ رِزۡقًا حَسَنࣰاۚ وَمَاۤ أُرِیدُ أَنۡ أُخَالِفَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ مَاۤ أَنۡهَىٰكُمۡ عَنۡهُۚ إِنۡ أُرِیدُ إِلَّا ٱلۡإِصۡلَـٰحَ مَا ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُۚ وَمَا تَوۡفِیقِیۤ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِۚ عَلَیۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ وَإِلَیۡهِ أُنِیبُ
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.
انہوں نے کہا کہ اے قوم! دیکھو تو اگر میں اپنے پروردگار کی طرف سے دلیل روشن پر ہوں اور اس نے اپنے ہاں سے مجھے نیک روزی دی ہو (تو کیا میں ان کے خلاف کروں گا؟) اور میں نہیں چاہتا کہ جس امر سے میں تمہیں منع کروں خود اس کو کرنے لگوں۔ میں تو جہاں تک مجھ سے ہوسکے (تمہارے معاملات کی) اصلاح چاہتا ہوں اور (اس بارے میں) مجھے توفیق کا ملنا خدا ہی (کے فضل) سے ہے۔ میں اسی پر بھروسہ رکھتا ہوں اور اس کی طرف رجوع کرتا ہوں
