And He is the One Who sends the winds ushering in His mercy, and We send down pure rain from the sky,giving life to a lifeless land, and providing water for countless animals and humans of Our Own creation.

The Surah answers some of the objections of the non-believers against the Qur’an and the teachings of Islam. It also presents the character of the Believers as criteria to prove the truth of Islam.
اور وہی ہے جو اپنی رحمت کے آگے آگے ہواؤں کو بشارت بنا کر بھیجتا ہے پھر آسمان سے پاک پانی نازل کرتا ہے تاکہ ایک مردہ علاقے کو اس کے ذریعے زندگی بخشے اور اپنی مخلوق میں سے بہت سے جانوروں اور انسانوں کو سیراب کرے اس کرشمے کو ہم بار بار ان کے سامنے لاتے ہیں تاکہ وہ کچھ سبق لیں، مگر اکثر لوگ کفر اور ناشکری کے سوا کوئی دوسرا رویہ اختیار کرنے سے انکار کر دیتے ہیں

Quran 3:185

Every soul will taste death. And you will only receive your full reward on the Day of Judgment. Whoever is spared from the Fire and is admitted into Paradise will ˹indeed˺ triumph, whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment. Quran 3:185 Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)’
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).

كُلُّ نَفۡسࣲ ذَاۤىِٕقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوۡنَ أُجُورَكُمۡ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِۖ فَمَن زُحۡزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدۡخِلَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ فَقَدۡ فَازَۗ وَمَا ٱلۡحَیَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡیَاۤ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلۡغُرُورِ
It is named after Ale-Imran ‘the family of Imran’ – Imran being the grandfather of Jesus [Isa], and the father of Mary [Maryam]. Other than this Surah, Imran is not mentioned in the rest of the Qur’an with the exception of Surah 66: at-Tahreem – ‘Maryam daughter of Imran’ [66:12].
Zahra – The Prophet is reported to have called al-Baqarah and Ale-Imran as ‘Zahrawayn’ [Two Lights (of guidance)]
آخر کار ہر شخص کو مرنا ہے اور تم سب اپنے اپنے پورے اجر قیامت کے روز پانے والے ہو کامیاب دراصل وہ ہے جو وہاں آتش دوزخ سے بچ جائے اور جنت میں داخل کر دیا جائے رہی یہ دنیا، تو یہ محض ایک ظاہر فریب چیز ہے
The main topics of this Surah are Tawhid, Prophethood and the truth of the Qur’ an. As Surah al-Baqarah discussed the issues related to Bani Israel, this Surah discusses some issues related to the Christian community and their religious positions. It also discusses the subjects of Hajj, Jihad, Zakat and Riba. It ends, like Surah al-Baqarah, with a profound dua.

Quran 35:5~7

O humanity! Indeed, 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. Surely Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his followers to become inmates of the Blaze. Those who disbelieve will have a severe punishment. But those who believe and do good will have forgiveness and a great reward. Quran 35:5~7 Surah Fatir (The Creator)
This Surah takes it name after the first Ayat,
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ

The basic message is also explained to them.
لوگو خدا کا وعدہ سچا ہے۔ تو تم کو دنیا کی زندگی دھوکے میں نہ ڈال دے اور نہ (شیطان) فریب دینے والا تمہیں فریب دے شیطان تمہارا دشمن ہے تم بھی اسے دشمن ہی سمجھو۔ وہ اپنے (پیروؤں کے) گروہ کو بلاتا ہے تاکہ دوزخ والوں میں ہوں جہنوں نے کفر کیا ان کے لئے سخت عذاب ہے۔ اور جو ایمان لائے اور عمل نیک کرتے رہے ان کے لئے بخشش اور بڑا ثواب ہے

Quran 45:24~26

And they argue, “There is nothing beyond our worldly life. We die; others are born. And nothing destroys us but ˹the passage of˺ time.” Yet they have no knowledge ˹in support˺ of this ˹claim˺. They only speculate. And whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say: “Bring our forefathers back, if what you say is true!” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “ ˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ gives you life, then causes you to die, then will gather you ˹all˺ on the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.”. Quran 45:24~26 Surah al-Jathiyah (The Kneeling)
The Surah takes its name with the mention of kneeling in the Ayat,
وَتَرَىٰ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةً ۚكُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تُدْعَىٰ إِلَىٰ كِتَابِهَا الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
“And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told],
“Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.” (45:28).
There are 37 Ayat in this Surah.

وَقَالُوا۟ مَا هِیَ إِلَّا حَیَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنۡیَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحۡیَا وَمَا یُهۡلِكُنَاۤ إِلَّا ٱلدَّهۡرُۚ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَ ٰلِكَ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا یَظُنُّونَ وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ءَایَـٰتُنَا بَیِّنَـٰتࣲ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّاۤ أَن قَالُوا۟ ٱئۡتُوا۟ بِءَابَاۤىِٕنَاۤ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ یُحۡیِیكُمۡ ثُمَّ یُمِیتُكُمۡ ثُمَّ یَجۡمَعُكُمۡ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ لَا رَیۡبَ فِیهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا یَعۡلَمُونَ
The Surah warns those who deny the Divine truth.
It talks about human arrogance and sinfulness.
The judgment of Allah will cover all the people.
The nations will stand before him in the kneeling condition.
اور کہتے ہیں کہ ہماری زندگی تو صرف دنیا ہی کی ہے کہ (یہیں) مرتے اور جیتے ہیں اور ہمیں تو زمانہ مار دیتا ہے۔ اور ان کو اس کا کچھ علم نہیں۔ صرف ظن سے کام لیتے ہیں اور جب ان کے سامنے ہماری کھلی کھلی آیتیں پڑھی جاتی ہیں تو ان کی یہی حجت ہوتی ہے کہ اگر تم سچے ہو تو ہمارے باپ دادا کو (زندہ کر) لاؤ کہہ دو کہ خدا ہی تم کو جان بخشتا ہے پھر (وہی) تم کو موت دیتا ہے پھر تم کو قیامت کے روز جس (کے آنے) میں کچھ شک نہیں تم کو جمع کرے گا لیکن بہت سے لوگ نہیں جانتے

Quran 15:88~93

Do not let your eyes crave the ˹fleeting˺ pleasures We have provided for some of the disbelievers, nor grieve for them. And be gracious to the believers. And say, “I am truly sent with a clear warning”—˹a warning˺ similar to what We sent to those who divided ˹the Scriptures˺, who ˹now˺ accept parts of the Quran, rejecting others. So by your Lord ! We will certainly question them all about what they used to do. Quran 15:88~93 [Surah al-Hijr (Rock City)]
