Quran 46:15 [Supplication at 40 years’ of age]

We have commanded people to honour their parents. Their mothers bore them in hardship and delivered them in hardship. Their ˹period of˺ bearing and weaning is thirty months. In time, when the child reaches their prime at the age of forty, they pray, “My Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please You. And instil righteousness in my offspring. I truly repent to You, and I truly submit ˹ to Your Will˺.” Quran 46:15 [Supplication at 40 years of age] Surah al-Ahqaf (The Wind-curved Sandhills)
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَاذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا اللَّـهَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ “And mention, [O Muhammad], the brother of ‘Aad, when he warned his people in the [region of] al-Ahqaf – and warners had already passed on before him and after him – [saying], “Do not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day.” (46:21). There are 35 Ayat in this Surah.

The Surah gives warnings to those who deny the truth.
When Allah’s punishment comes then neither the sea, nor the dry land can protect.
There is a reference in this Surah to the people of ‘Ad and Allah’s punishment for their sins.
اور ہم نے انسان کو اپنے والدین کے ساتھ بھلائی کرنے کا حکم دیا۔ اس کی ماں نے اس کو تکلیف سے پیٹ میں رکھا اور تکلیف ہی سے جنا۔ اور اس کا پیٹ میں رہنا اور دودھ چھوڑنا ڈھائی برس میں ہوتا ہے۔ یہاں تک کہ جب خوب جوان ہوتا ہے اور چالیس برس کو پہنچ جاتا ہے تو کہتا ہے کہ اے میرے پروردگار مجھے توفیق دے کہ تو نے جو احسان مجھ پر اور میرے ماں باپ پر کئے ہیں ان کا شکر گزار ہوں اور یہ کہ نیک عمل کروں جن کو تو پسند کرے۔ اور میرے لئے میری اولاد میں صلاح (وتقویٰ) دے۔ میں تیری طرف رجوع کرتا ہوں اور میں فرمانبرداروں میں ہوں

Quran 14:40~41

My Lord ! Make me and those ˹believers˺ of my descendants keep up prayer. Our Lord! Accept my prayers. Our Lord ! Forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day when the judgment will come to pass.” Quran 14:40~41 Surah Ibrahim (Abraham) Supplication of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S)
The Surah derives its name from Ibrahim, the father of all prophets who came after him.

رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡنِی مُقِیمَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِن ذُرِّیَّتِیۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلۡ دُعَاۤءِ رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لِی وَلِوَ ٰلِدَیَّ وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ یَوۡمَ یَقُومُ ٱلۡحِسَابُ
The basic theme of the Surah is Allah’s guidance through His prophets.
The purpose of this guidance is to take the people from darkness to light.
Many people in the past had doubts about their prophets.
They laughed at them and they threatened to kill them or expel them from their towns.
However, the lasting word is the “good word.”
The Surah also mentions Prophet Ibrahim’s prayer when he established the city of Makkah.
اے میرے پروردگار، مجھے نماز قائم کرنے والا بنا اور میری اولاد سے بھی (ایسے لوگ اٹھا جو یہ کام کریں) پروردگار، میری دعا قبول کر پروردگار، مجھے اور میرے والدین کو اور سب ایمان لانے والوں کو اُس دن معاف کر دیجیو جبکہ حساب قائم ہوگا"

Quran 26:78~85

˹He is˺ the One Who created me, and He ˹alone˺ guides me. ˹He is˺ the One Who provides me with food and drink. And He ˹alone˺ heals me when I am sick. And He ˹is the One Who˺ will cause me to die, and then bring me back to life. And He is ˹the One˺ Who, I hope, will forgive my flaws on Judgment Day.” “My Lord! Grant me wisdom, and join me with the righteous. Bless me with honourable mention among later generations. Make me one of those awarded the Garden of Bliss. Quran 26:78~85 (Prophet Ibrahim’s Supplication)
Ash-Shu‘ara’ (Arabic: الشعراء, ’ash-shu‘arā’; meaning: The Poets) is the 26th chapter (sūrah) of the Qurʾan with 227 verses (āyāt). Many of these verses are very short. The chapter is named from the word Ash-Shu’ara in ayat 224.

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَنِى فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ ‎ ‏وَٱلَّذِى هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِى وَيَسْقِينِ ‎ ‏وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ ‎ ‏وَٱلَّذِى يُمِيتُنِى ثُمَّ يُحْيِينِ ‎ ‏وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لِى خَطِيٓـَٔتِى يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ ‎ ‏رَبِّ هَبْ لِى حُكْمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّلِحِينَ ‎ ‏وَٱجْعَل لِّى لِسَانَ صِدْقٍۢ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ‎ ‏وَٱجْعَلْنِى مِن وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
The non-believers were asking for signs to prove that the Qur’an was the word of Allah. Allah mentioned many signs both in nature and in history. Stories of many prophets are also mentioned to indicate that all prophets presented basically the same message.
جس نے مجھے پیدا کیا پھر وہی مجھے راہ دکھاتا ہے اور وہ جو مجھے کھلاتا اور پلاتا ہے اور جب میں بیمار ہوتا ہوں تو وہی مجھے شفا دیتا ہے اور وہ جو مجھے مارے گا پھر زندہ کرے گا اور وہ جو مجھے امید ہے کہ میرے گناہ قیامت کے دن مجھے بخش دے گا اے میرے رب مجھے کمال علم عطا فرما اور مجھے نیکیوں کے ساتھ شامل کر اور آئندہ آنے والی نسلوں میں میرا ذکر خیر باقی رکھ اور مجھے نعمت کے باغ کے وارثوں میں کر دے
The chapter talks about various prophets and their tribes, and how the disbelievers were destroyed after threatening the prophets with death. It also talks about the mercy of God (Allah). This surah starts with the story of Moses, followed by that of Abraham.
