وَٱلذَّ ٰرِیَـٰتِ ذَرۡوࣰا فَٱلۡحَـٰمِلَـٰتِ وِقۡرࣰا فَٱلۡجَـٰرِیَـٰتِ یُسۡرࣰا فَٱلۡمُقَسِّمَـٰتِ أَمۡرًا إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقࣱ وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّینَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ
The Surah gives the good news of the emergence of a new community. It also warns the opponents of the truth that their time is about to end and the judgment of Allah is near.
قسم ہے اُن ہواؤں کی جو گرد اڑانے والی ہیں پھر پانی سے لدے ہوئے بادل اٹھانے والی ہیں پھر سبک رفتاری کے ساتھ چلنے والی ہیں پھر ان فرشتوں کی جو حکم کے موافق چیزیں تقسیم کرنے والے ہیں حق یہ ہے کہ جس چیز کا تمہیں خوف دلایا جا رہا ہے وہ سچی ہے اور جزائے اعمال ضرور پیش آنی ہے

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 20:123~127

Allah said, “Descend, both of you (Adam & Eve), from here together ˹with Satan˺ as enemies to each other. Then when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray ˹in this life˺ nor suffer ˹in the next˺. But whoever turns away from My Reminder will certainly have a miserable life, then We will raise them up blind on the Day of Judgment.” Continued…
Surah TaHa takes its name after the disjointed letters from the first Ayat.
They will cry, “My Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, although I used to see?” Allah will respond, “It is so, just as Our revelations came to you and you neglected them, so Today you are neglected.” This is how We reward whoever transgresses and does not believe in the revelations of their Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting Quran 20:123~127 Surah Ta HA
It has 135 ayat.

قَالَ ٱهۡبِطَا مِنۡهَا جَمِیعَۢاۖ بَ عۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوࣱّۖ فَإِمَّا یَأۡتِیَنَّكُم مِّنِّی هُدࣰى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَایَ فَلَا یَضِلُّ وَلَا یَشۡقَىٰ وَمَنۡ أَعۡرَضَ عَن ذِكۡرِی فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِیشَةࣰ ضَنكࣰا وَنَحۡشُرُهُۥ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ أَعۡمَىٰ قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرۡتَنِیۤ أَعۡمَىٰ وَقَدۡ كُنتُ بَصِیرࣰا قَالَ كَذَ ٰلِكَ أَتَتۡكَ ءَایَـٰتُنَا فَنَسِیتَهَاۖ وَكَذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡیَوۡمَ تُنسَىٰ وَكَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی مَنۡ أَسۡرَفَ وَلَمۡ یُؤۡمِنۢ بِءَایَـٰتِ رَبِّهِۦۚ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبۡقَىٰۤ
The subject matter of the Surah is to assure the Prophet and his followers that the message of the Qur’an will eventually succeed.
The story of Prophet Moses is mentioned in detail.
فرمایا کہ تم دونوں (آدم اور حوا) یہاں سے نیچے اتر جاؤ۔ تم میں بعض بعض کے دشمن (ہوں گے) پھر اگر میری طرف سے تمہارے پاس ہدایت آئے تو جو شخص میری ہدایت کی پیروی کرے گا وہ نہ گمراہ ہوگا اور نہ تکلیف میں پڑے گا اور جو میری نصیحت سے منہ پھیرے گا اس کی زندگی تنگ ہوجائے گی اور قیامت کو ہم اسے اندھا کرکے اٹھائیں گے
Then it is mentioned how the enemies of Islam are opposing it and what will be the consequences of this opposition for them.
وہ کہے گا میرے پروردگار تو نے مجھے اندھا کرکے کیوں اٹھایا میں تو دیکھتا بھالتا تھا خدا فرمائے گا کہ ایسا ہی (چاہیئے تھا) تیرے پاس میری آیتیں آئیں تو تونے ان کو بھلا دیا۔ اسی طرح آج ہم تجھ کو بھلا دیں گے اور جو شخص حد سے نکل جائے اور اپنے پروردگار کی آیتوں پر ایمان نہ لائے ہم اس کو ایسا ہی بدلہ دیتے ہیں۔ اور آخرت کا عذاب بہت سخت اور بہت دیر رہنے والا ہے

Quran 19:93~96

There is none in the heavens or the earth who will not return to the Most Compassionate in full submission. Indeed, He fully knows them and has counted them precisely.

Quran 19:93~96 Surah Maryam (Mary)
The Surah is named after Maryam, the mother of Isa [Jesus].
Allah’s Messenger said, “Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the perfection except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh.
And the superiority of Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals.” [Bukhari 3769]

Quran 4:86~87

And when you are greeted, respond with a better greeting or at least similarly. Surely Allah is a ˹vigilant˺ Reckoner of all things. Allah, there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He will certainly gather ˹all of˺ you together on the Day of Judgment—about which there is no doubt. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s? Quran 4 : 86~87 Surah an-Nisa` (Women)
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.

وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيبً اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حَدِيثً
According to many scholars, the Surah was revealed after the Battle of Uhud, which left 70 of the Muslims killed.
This situation brought about the need to address issues such as inheritance left by those killed etc.
Hence in Surah an-Nisa, Allah Almighty address issues such as dealing with orphans [including children of those killed at Uhud] and inheritance.
وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَسِيبً اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ وَمَنْ أَصْدَقُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حَدِيثً
