Quran 3:96~97 (Ayah al-Imran)

Surely the first House ˹of worship˺ established for humanity is the one at Bakkah— a blessed sanctuary and a guide for ˹all˺ people. In it are clear signs and the standing-place of Abraham. Whoever enters it should be safe. Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah upon whoever is able among the people. And whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of His˺ creation. Quran 3:96~97 Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
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.

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.
بے شک سب سے پہلی عبادت گاہ جو انسانوں کے لیے تعمیر ہوئی وہ وہی ہے جو مکہ میں واقع ہے اس کو خیر و برکت دی گئی تھی اور تمام جہان والوں کے لیے مرکز ہدایت بنایا گیا تھا اس میں کھلی ہوئی نشانیاں ہیں، ابراہیمؑ کا مقام عبادت ہے، اوراس کا حال یہ ہے کہ جو اِس میں داخل ہوا مامون ہو گیا لوگوں پر اللہ کا یہ حق ہے کہ جو اس گھر تک پہنچنے کی استطاعت رکھتا ہو وہ اس کا حج کرے، اور جو کوئی اس حکم کی پیروی سے انکار کرے تو اسے معلوم ہو جانا چاہیے کہ اللہ تمام د نیا والوں سے بے نیاز ہے

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 31:33

O humanity ! Be mindful of your Lord, and beware of a Day when no parent will be of any benefit to their child, nor will a child be of any benefit to their parent. Surely Allah’s promise is true. So do not let the life of this world deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah. Quran 31:33 Surah Luqman (Lukman)
This Surah is named after the wise person called, Luqman – who was well known amongst the Arabs for his wisdom.
It is the 31st Chapter of the Quran, There are 34 Verses in it.
یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمۡ وَٱخۡشَوۡا۟ یَوۡمࣰا لَّا یَجۡزِی وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِۦ وَلَا مَوۡلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِۦ شَیۡءًاۚ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقࣱّۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡیَا وَلَا یَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡغَرُورُ
In this Surah, Tawhid is emphasized and Shirk and its ideas are critically examined. It tells us that those who are following Shirk they are only blindly following their forefathers. The true wisdom is to believe in Allah. The advises of Luqman the wise are also given here to support the same principles.
لوگو اپنے پروردگار سے ڈرو اور اُس دن کا خوف کرو کہ نہ تو باپ اپنے بیٹے کے کچھ کام آئے۔ اور نہ بیٹا باپ کے کچھ کام آسکے۔ بیشک خدا کا وعدہ سچا ہے پس دنیا کی زندگی تم کو دھوکے میں نہ ڈال دے۔ اور نہ فریب دینے والا (شیطان) تمہیں خدا کے بارے میں کسی طرح کا فریب دے

Quran 17:85~87

They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about the spirit. Say, “Its nature is known only to my Lord, and you ˹O humanity˺ have been given but little knowledge.” If We willed, We could have certainly taken away what We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺— then you would find none to guarantee its return from Us— had it not been for the mercy of your Lord. Indeed, His favour upon you is immense. Quran 17:85~87 Surah al-Isra` (Children of Israel)
Al-Isrāʾ (Arabic: الإسراء; meaning: The Night Journey),
also known as Banī Isrāʾīl (Arabic: بني إسرائيل; meaning:
The Children of Israel) is the 17th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 111 verses (āyāt).

وَیَسۡءَلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِۖ قُلِ ٱلرُّوحُ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّی وَمَاۤ أُوتِیتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ إِلَّا قَلِیلࣰا وَلَىِٕن شِئۡنَا لَنَذۡهَبَنَّ بِٱلَّذِیۤ أَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَیۡكَ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ بِهِۦ عَلَیۡنَا وَكِیلًا إِلَّا رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّ فَضۡلَهُۥ كَانَ عَلَیۡكَ كَبِیرࣰا
The word Isra’ refers to the “night journey” of the prophet Muhammad.
This surah is part of a series al-Musabbihat surahs because it begins with the glorification of God.
اور تم سے روح کے بارے میں سوال کرتے ہیں۔ کہہ دو کہ وہ میرے پروردگار کی ایک شان ہے اور تم لوگوں کو (بہت ہی) کم علم دیا گیا ہے اور اگر ہم چاہیں تو جو (کتاب) ہم تمہاری طرف بھیجتے ہیں اسے (دلوں سے) محو کردیں۔ پھر تم اس کے لئے ہمارے مقابلے میں کسی کو مددگار نہ پاؤ مگر (اس کا قائم رہنا) تمہارے پروردگار کی رحمت ہے۔ کچھ شک نہیں کہ تم پر اس کا بڑا فضل ہے
This surah takes its name from the first verse which, in Islamic tradition, tells the event of the Isra,
the transportation of Muhammad during the night from the Great Mosque of Mecca to what is referred to as “the farthest Mosque”.”
The exact location is specified in the Qurran in Arabic words أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا but this is commonly taken to Noble Sanctuary (Temple Mount) in Jerusalem. Some scholars disagree about this (see Isra and Mi’raj) lively .
While the city of Jerusalem (or al Quds , Al-Aqsa mosque) is mentioned by name anywhere in the Qur’an,[citation needed]
The first verse refers to Mohammed being taken from the ‘Masjid ul-harram’ to the ‘Masjid al-Aqsa’:
Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We (God) did bless,-
so that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).

Quran 82:6~12

O humanity! What has emboldened you against your Lord, the Most Generous, Who created you, fashioned you, and perfected your design, moulding you in whatever form He willed? But no!

The Surah reminds the human being that Allah has given them a wonderful proportionate shape, but they and the whole universe are totally dependent upon Allah. The creation has a purpose and the Day of Judgment will come.
اے انسان، کس چیز نے تجھے اپنے اُس رب کریم کی طرف سے دھوکے میں ڈال دیا جس نے تجھے پیدا کیا، تجھے نک سک سے درست کیا، تجھے متناسب بنایا اور جس صورت میں چاہا تجھ کو جوڑ کر تیار کیا؟ ہرگز نہیں، بلکہ (اصل بات یہ ہے کہ) تم لوگ جزا و سزا کو جھٹلاتے ہو حالانکہ تم پر نگراں مقرر ہیں ایسے معزز کاتب جو تمہارے ہر فعل کو جانتے ہیں
the central theme of this chapter is the Day of Judgments including the events preceding it and those that will happen within it like the end of the world, fates of the good and evil doers, the recording of deeds as well topics like man’s arrogance and in contrast, God’s Lordship and beneficence.

Quran 35:2~3

Whatever mercy Allah opens up for people, none can withhold it. And whatever He withholds, none but Him can release it. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise. O humanity! Remember Allah’s favours upon you. Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the heavens and the earth? There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. How can you then be deluded ˹from the truth˺? Quran 35:2~3 Surah Fatir (The Creator)

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ

In this Surah Allah warns the non-believers on their negative attitude towards Islam and Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him.
The basic message is also explained to them.
اللہ جس رحمت کا دروازہ بھی لوگوں کے لیے کھول دے اسے کوئی روکنے والا نہیں اور جسے وہ بند کر دے اسے اللہ کے بعد پھر کوئی دوسرا کھولنے والا نہیں وہ زبردست اور حکیم ہے لوگو، تم پر اللہ کے جو احسانات ہیں انہیں یاد رکھو کیا اللہ کے سوا کوئی اور خالق بھی ہے جو تمہیں آسمان اور زمین سے رزق دیتا ہو؟ کوئی معبود اُس کے سوا نہیں، آخر تم کہاں سے دھوکا کھا رہے ہو؟

Quran 21:34~35

We have not granted immortality to any human before you ˹O Prophet˺: so if you die, will they live forever? Every soul will taste death. And We test you ˹O humanity˺ with good and evil as a trial, then to Us you will ˹all˺ be returned. Quran 21;34~35 Surah al-Anbiya` (The Prophets)
This Surah is known as al-Anbiyah [The Prophets] and is not known by any other name. Sixteen Prophets are mentioned in this Surah [directly or indirectly]: Musa, Haroon, Isa, Zakariyyah, Yahyah, Jonah, Ismail, Idris, Dhul Kifl, Ayyub, Sulayman, Lut, Ishaq, Yaqub, Ibrahim and the Prophet Muhammad.

The basic theme of the Surah is Prophets and Prophethood as indicated by the name itself. All Prophets were human beings. They suffered at the hands of their enemies. Allah also tested them, but they always trusted Allah and lived according to His command. They were people of prayers and devotions and Allah listened to their prayers.
اور ہم نے تم سے پہلے کسی آدمی کے لیے دنیا میں ہمیشگی نہ بنائی تو کیا اگر تم انتقال فرماؤ تو یہ ہمیشہ رہیں گے ہر جان کو موت کا مزہ چکھنا ہے، اور ہم تمہاری آزمائش کرتے ہیں برائی اور بھلائی سے جانچنے کو اور ہماری ہی طرف تمہیں لوٹ کر آنا ہے

Quran 96:1~8

Read, ˹O Prophet,˺ in the Name of your Lord Who created— created humans from a clinging clot. Read ! And your Lord is the Most Generous, Who taught by the pen— taught humanity what they knew not. Most certainly, one exceeds all bounds once they think they are self-sufficient. ˹But˺ surely to your Lord is the return ˹of all˺. Quran 96:1~8 [Surah al-’Alaq (The Clot)]
The Surah takes its name after the second Ayat,
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
“Created man from a clinging substance.” [96:2].
There are 19 Ayat in this Surah.

ٱقۡرَأۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مِنۡ عَلَقٍ ٱقۡرَأۡ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلۡأَكۡرَمُ ٱلَّذِی عَلَّمَ بِٱلۡقَلَمِ عَلَّمَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ مَا لَمۡ یَعۡلَمۡ كَلَّاۤ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ لَیَطۡغَىٰۤ أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰۤ إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰۤ
The first five Ayat are among the first that were revealed to the Prophet (saw), aged forty, in the cave of Hira, Makkah.
Then the rest of the Surah was revealed when the message was presented to the people of Makkah and they began threatening the Prophet.
The Surah speaks about the humble beginning of human beings, but the high position that they can receive if they follow the message of Allah.
پڑھو (اے نبیؐ) اپنے رب کے نام کے ساتھ جس نے پیدا کیا جمے ہوئے خون کے ایک لوتھڑے سے انسان کی تخلیق کی پڑھو، اور تمہارا رب بڑا کریم ہے جس نے قلم کے ذریعہ سے علم سکھایا انسان کو وہ علم دیا جسے وہ نہ جانتا تھا ہرگز نہیں، انسان سرکشی کرتا ہے اِس بنا پر کہ وہ اپنے آپ کو بے نیاز دیکھتا ہے پلٹنا یقیناً تیرے رب ہی کی طرف ہے
Chapter 96 of the Qur’an is traditionally believed to have been Muhammad’s first revelation.

While on retreat in the Cave of Hira, located at Mountain Jabal al-Nour near Mecca, Angel Gabriel appears before The Islamic Prophet and commands him to “Read!”.
He responded, “But I cannot read!”.
Then the angel Gabriel embraced him tightly and then revealed to him the first lines,
“Read: In the name of your Lord Who created, (1) Created man from a clot. (2) Read: And your Lord is the Most Generous, (3) Who taught by the pen, (4) Taught man that which he knew not.”
(Bukhari 4953).

It is traditionally understood the first five ayat or verses (1–5) of Surah Alaq were revealed;
however, this is not the first fully complete Surah to be revealed and was actually revealed in 3 parts.

Quran 27:71~75

They ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Perhaps some of what you seek to hasten is close at hand.” Surely your Lord is ever Bountiful to humanity, but most of them are ungrateful. And surely your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal. For there is nothing hidden in the heavens or the earth without being ˹written˺ in a perfect Record. Quran 27:71~75
Surah Naml is named after ‘the Ant’ mentioned in (27:18).
This is the only mention of ‘the Ant’ in the whole of the Qur’an.

The theme of the Surah is divine guidance in history.
Allah sent His Prophets to different people. Some accepted them and were guided,
while others denied them and they saw the consequences of their denial.
The Surah also contrasts between the principles of Tawhid and shirk.
اور کہتے ہیں کہ اگر تم سچے ہو تو یہ وعدہ کب پورا ہوگا؟ کہہ دو کہ جس (عذاب) کے لئے تم جلدی کر رہے ہو شاید اس میں سے کچھ تمہارے نزدیک آپہنچا ہو اور تمہارا پروردگار تو لوگوں پر فضل کرنے والا ہے لیکن ان میں سے اکثر شکر نہیں کرتے اور جو باتیں ان کے سینوں میں پوشیدہ ہوتی ہیں اور جو کام وہ ظاہر کرتے ہیں تمہارا پروردگار ان (سب) کو جانتا ہے اور آسمانوں اور زمین میں کوئی پوشیدہ چیز نہیں ہے مگر (وہ) کتاب روشن میں (لکھی ہوئی) ہے
