وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَیۡنَیۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦۤ أَزۡوَ ٰجࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا لِنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِیهِۚ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَیۡرࣱ وَأَبۡقَىٰ

Then it is mentioned how the enemies of Islam are opposing it and what will be the consequences of this opposition for them.
اور نگاہ اُٹھا کر بھی نہ دیکھو دُنیوی زندگی کی اُس شان و شوکت کو جو ہم نے اِن میں سے مختلف قسم کے لوگوں کو دے رکھی ہے وہ تو ہم نے انہیں آزمائش میں ڈالنے کے لیے دی ہے، اور تیرے رب کا دیا ہوا رزق حلال ہی بہتر اور پائندہ تر ہے

Quran 42:19~20

Allah is Ever Kind to His servants. He provides ˹abundantly˺ to whoever He wills. And He is the All-Powerful, Almighty. Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We will increase their harvest. And whoever desires ˹only˺ the harvest of this world, We will give them some of it, but they will have no share in the Hereafter. Quran 42:19~20 Surah ash-Shura (Consultation, The Counsel)
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat,
وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
“And those who have responded to their lord and established prayer and whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves, and from what We have provided them, they spend.” (42:38).

ٱللَّهُ لَطِیفُۢ بِعِبَادِهِۦ یَرۡزُقُ مَن یَشَاۤءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡقَوِیُّ ٱلۡعَزِیزُ مَن كَانَ یُرِیدُ حَرۡثَ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ نَزِدۡ لَهُۥ فِی حَرۡثِهِۦۖ وَمَن كَانَ یُرِیدُ حَرۡثَ ٱلدُّنۡیَا نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَا وَمَا لَهُۥ فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ مِن نَّصِیبٍ
The Surah emphasizes that the message of the Qur’an is from Allah Who revealed similar messages to other Prophets and Messengers. The religion of Allah has been the same throughout history. If Allah wanted He would have made all people into one Ummah, but He has given freedom to people to make their own choice by their free will. Allah will judge all people on the Day of Judgment. In the Surah it is also mentioned that the followers of this message are those who avoid major sins and who manage their affairs with mutual consultation.
الله اپنے بندوں پر بڑا مہربان ہے جسے (جس قدر) چاہے روزی دیتا ہے اوروہ بڑا طاقتور زبردست ہے جو کوئی آخرت کی کھیتی کا طالب ہو ہم اس کے لیے اس کھیتی میں برکت دیں گے اور جو دنیا کی کھیتی کا طالب ہو اسے (بقدر مناسب) دنیا میں دیں گے اور آخرت میں اس کا کچھ حصہ نہیں ہوگا
Sections:
Allah revealed His message to His Prophets. The purpose of revelation is to warn people about the Day of Judgment. Had Allah willed, He would have forced all people into one Ummah, but the wrong-does will see the consequences of their deeds.
The judgment is in the hand of Allah. He gave the same religion to all His Prophets. Muslims must invite people to Allah.
Allah deals justly with all people. Allah accepts the repentance. Allah’s mercy is manifest in the universe.
Believers should avoid sins, be patient, work with each other in consultation and practice forgiveness.
The Prophet guides to the right path, the path of Allah.

Quran 75:20~25

But no ! In fact, you love this fleeting world, and neglect the Hereafter. On that Day ˹some˺ faces will be bright, looking at their Lord. And ˹other˺ faces will be gloomy, anticipating something devastating to befall them. Quran 75:20~25 (Surah al-Qiyamah)
Surah Al-Qiyamah(القيامة)

This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ “I swear by the Day of Resurrection” [75:1].

مگر (لوگو) تم دنیا کو دوست رکھتے ہو اور آخرت کو ترک کئے دیتے ہو اس روز بہت سے منہ رونق دار ہوں گے اور اپنے پروردگار کے محو دیدار ہوں گے اور بہت سے منہ اس دن اداس ہوں گے خیال کریں گے کہ ان پر مصیبت واقع ہونے کو ہے
In the begining [75:4] and the end [75:40] there is a mention of the Qudra [power and ability] of Allah Almighty to resurrect a human after his death.
A question for the human in the beginning and the end:
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ “Does man think that We will not assemble his bones?” [75:3]
أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنسَانُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى “Does man think that he will be left neglected?” [75:36]

Quran 3:84~85

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord—we make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we ˹fully˺ submit.” Whoever seeks a way other than Islam, it will never be accepted from them, and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers. Quran 3:84~85
Al Imran (Arabic: آل عمران, āl ʿimrān; meaning: The Family of Imran) is the third chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with two hundred verses (āyāt).

Quran 30:7~8

They ˹only˺ know the worldly affairs of this life, but are ˹totally˺ oblivious to the Hereafter. Have they not reflected upon their own being? Allah only created the heavens and the earth and everything in between for a purpose and an appointed term. Yet most people are truly in denial of the meeting with their Lord !
This Surah is named after the ‘Romans’ – The word ‘Roman’ is mentioned only in this Surah in the Qur’an.

The Surah reminds us that Allah is in control of everything.
Those who are short sighted they see only what is apparent but they do not realize that there is a Creator and Master of this whole universe and it is He who is governing everything.
Final decision is in Allah’s hand. The Akhirah will take place and the truth will prevail
یہ تو دنیا کی ظاہری زندگی کو جانتے ہیں۔ اور آخرت (کی طرف) سے غافل ہیں کیا اُنہوں نے اپنے دل میں غور نہیں کیا۔ کہ خدا نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو اور جو کچھ ان دونوں کے درمیان ہے اُن کو حکمت سے اور ایک وقت مقرر تک کے لئے پیدا کیا ہے۔ اور بہت سے لوگ اپنے پروردگار سے ملنے کے قائل ہی نہیں

Quran 9:38~39

O believers ! hat is the matter with you that when you are asked to march forth in the cause of Allah, you cling firmly to ˹your˺ land ? Do you prefer the life of this world over the Hereafter ? The enjoyment of this worldly life is insignificant compared to that of the Hereafter. If you do not march forth, He will afflict you with a painful torment and replace you with other people. You are not harming Him in the least. And Allah is Most Capable of everything. Quran 9:38~39
The name of the surah, at-Taubah is derived from ت و ب and it occurs 87 times in the Quran. Interestingly, this surah has the highest usage of the words derived from ت و ب compared to all other surahs – it is used 17 times.
In Ayat 118, occurs the case of the three companions whom Allah turned to and accepted their tawbah to Him – those who had abstained from joining the Jihad at the Battle of Tabuk.

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَا لَكُمۡ إِذَا قِیلَ لَكُمُ ٱنفِرُوا۟ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ ٱثَّاقَلۡتُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ أَرَضِیتُم بِٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا مِنَ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِۚ فَمَا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَلِیلٌ    إِلَّا تَنفِرُوا۟ یُعَذِّبۡكُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِیمࣰا وَیَسۡتَبۡدِلۡ قَوۡمًا غَیۡرَكُمۡ وَلَا تَضُرُّوهُ شَیۡءࣰاۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ قَدِیرٌ 
This is the only Sūrah of the Qur’ān to which ‘In the Name of God, Most Gracious Most Merciful’ is not prefixed. Though the commentators have given different reasons for this, the correct one that which has been given by Imām Razi: namely this is because the Prophet himself did not dictate it at the beginning of the Sūrah. Therefore the Companions did not prefix it and their successors followed them. This is a further proof of the fact that utmost care has been taken to keep the Qur’ān intact so that it should remain in its complete and original form.
اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، تمہیں کیا ہو گیا کہ جب تم سے اللہ کی راہ میں نکلنے کے لیے کہا گیا تو تم زمین سے چمٹ کر رہ گئے؟ کیا تم نے آخرت کے مقابلہ میں دنیا کی زندگی کو پسند کر لیا؟ ایسا ہے تو تمہیں معلوم ہو کہ دنیوی زندگی کا یہ سب سروسامان آخرت میں بہت تھوڑا نکلے گا تم نہ اٹھو گے تو خدا تمہیں دردناک سزا دے گا، اور تمہاری جگہ کسی اور گروہ کو اٹھائے گا، اور تم خدا کا کچھ بھی نہ بگاڑ سکو گے، وہ ہر چیز پر قدرت رکھتا ہے
