Quran 76:7~12 (Ayah al-Insan)

They (the virtous) ˹are those who˺ fulfil ˹their˺ vows and fear a Day of sweeping horror, and give food—despite their desire for it— to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, ˹(saying in their hearts),˺ “We feed you only for the sake of Allah, seeking neither reward nor thanks from you. We fear from our Lord a horribly distressful Day.” So Allah will deliver them from the horror of that Day, and grant them radiance and joy, and reward them for their perseverance with a Garden ˹in Paradise˺ and ˹garments of˺ silk.. Quran 76:7~12 Surah al-Insan (Man)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئًا مَّذْكُورًا “Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?” [76:1]. There are 31 Ayat in this Surah.
یُوفُونَ بِٱلنَّذۡرِ وَیَخَافُونَ یَوۡمࣰا كَانَ شَرُّهُۥ مُسۡتَطِیرࣰا وَیُطۡعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسۡكِینࣰا وَیَتِیمࣰا وَأَسِیرًا إِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِوَجۡهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِیدُ مِنكُمۡ جَزَاۤءࣰ وَلَا شُكُورًا إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا یَوۡمًا عَبُوسࣰا قَمۡطَرِیرࣰا فَوَقَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡیَوۡمِ وَلَقَّىٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةࣰ وَسُرُورࣰا وَجَزَىٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ جَنَّةࣰ وَحَرِیرࣰا
This Surah speaks about the ways the human being can attain growth and spiritual development. The rewards of the Believers and the character of the Believers are also mentioned.
یہ وہ لوگ ہونگے جو (دنیا میں) نذر پوری کرتے ہیں، اور اُس دن سے ڈرتے ہیں جس کی آفت ہر طرف پھیلی ہوئی ہوگی اور اللہ کی محبت میں مسکین اور یتیم اور قیدی کو کھانا کھلاتے ہیں (اور اُن سے کہتے ہیں کہ) ہم تمہیں صرف اللہ کی خاطر کھلا رہے ہیں، ہم تم سے نہ کوئی بدلہ چاہتے ہیں نہ شکریہ ہمیں تو اپنے رب سے اُس دن کے عذاب کا خوف لاحق ہے جو سخت مصیبت کا انتہائی طویل دن ہوگا پس اللہ تعالیٰ انہیں اُس دن کے شر سے بچا لے گا اور انہیں تازگی اور سرور بخشے گا اور اُن کے صبر کے بدلے میں اُنہیں جنت اور ریشمی لباس عطا کریگا
The theme of this Surah is to inform man of his true position in the world and to tell him that if he understood his true position rightly and adopted the attitude of gratefulness, he would meet with such and such good end and if he adopted the way of disbelief, he would meet with such and such evil ends. In the longer Surahs of the Qur’an this same theme has been presented at length, but a special characteristic of the style of the earliest Surahs revealed at Makkah is that the subjects dealt with at length in the later period, “have been presented in a brief but highly effective way in this period in such concise, elegant sentences as may automatically be preserved in the memory of the hearers.

إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجۡعِهِۦ لَقَادِرࣱ یَوۡمَ تُبۡلَى ٱلسَّرَاۤىِٕرُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةࣲ وَلَا نَاصِرࣲ
Every thing in this universe is working under the protection and supervision of Allah.
The creation of human beings as well as the creation of this universe is not a joke.
The creation is a serious work of Allah and so is His word, the Qur’an.
یقیناً وہ (خالق) اُسے (انسان کو) دوبارہ پیدا کرنے پر قادر ہے جس روز پوشیدہ باتوں کی جانچ پڑتال ہوگی اُس وقت انسان کے پاس نہ خود اپنا کوئی زور ہوگا اور نہ کوئی اس کی مدد کرنے والا ہوگا
It discuses two themes:
first, that man has to appear before God after death;
second, that the Qur’an is a decisive Word which no plan or device of the disbelievers can defeat or frustrate

Quran 21:106~107

Surely, in this (Quran) is a Message for the people who truly worship Allah. And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) not but as a mercy for the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists). Quran 21:106~107 [Surah Al-Anbiya (The Prophets)]
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.

Quran 33:36

It is not for a believing man or woman— when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter—to have any other choice in that matter. Indeed, whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has clearly gone ˹far˺ astray. Quran 33:36
The Surah takes its name, al-Ahzab [confederates/groups] from the Ayat, وَلَمَّا رَأَى الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْأَحْزَابَ قَالُوا هَـٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللَّـهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَصَدَقَ اللَّـهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ۚ وَمَا زَادَهُمْ إِلَّا إِيمَانًا وَتَسْلِيمًا “And when the believers saw the confederates, they said, “This is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us, and Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth.” And it increased them only in faith and acceptance.” (33:22)
There are 73 Ayat in this Surah.

لَّا يَسۡـَٔـمُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مِنۡ دُعَآءِ الۡخَيۡرِ وَاِنۡ مَّسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَيَـُٔـوۡسٌ قَنُوۡطٌࣱ
The subject matter of this Surah is Da’wah. It invites to the truth, gives warnings to those who reject the truth, and tells us that the appeal to the truth is within our nature. It tells us also that the Believers receive strength from Allah’s revelation. The revelation gives life to those who were spiritually and morally dead at one time. The Surah contains both good news and warnings.
انسان کبھی بھلائی کی دعا مانگتے نہیں تھکتا، اور جب کوئی آفت اِس پر آ جاتی ہے تو مایوس و دل شکستہ ہو جاتا ہے
