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.

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 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)
This Surah takes it name after the first Ayat,
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 44:2~7

By the clear Book! Indeed, We sent it down on a blessed night (of Qadr in the month of Ramadan)., for We always warn ˹against evil˺. On that night every matter of wisdom is ordained by a command from Us, for We have always sent ˹messengers˺ as a mercy from your Lord. He ˹alone˺ is truly the All-Hearing, All-Knowing— the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, if only you had sure faith. Quran 44:2~7 Surah ad-Dukhan (The Evident Smoke)
This Surah takes its name from the Ayat, فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ “Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.” (44:10)

Quran 42:48

But if they turn away, We have not sent you ˹O Prophet˺ as a keeper over them. Your duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺. And indeed, when We let someone taste a mercy from Us, they become prideful ˹because˺ of it. But when afflicted with evil because of what their hands have done, then one becomes totally ungrateful. Quran 42:48 Surah ash-Shura (The Counsel)
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat,
وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
“And those who have responded to their lord and established prayer and whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves, and from what We have provided them, they spend.” (42:38).

The Surah emphasizes that the message of the Qur’an is from Allah Who revealed similar messages to other Prophets and Messengers. The religion of Allah has been the same throughout history.
If Allah wanted He would have made all people into one Ummah, but He has given freedom to people to make their own choice by their free will.
Allah will judge all people on the Day of Judgment. In the Surah it is also mentioned that the followers of this message are those who avoid major sins and who manage their affairs with mutual consultation.
پھر اگر یہ منہ پھیر لیں تو ہم نے تم کو ان پر نگہبان بنا کر نہیں بھیجا۔ تمہارا کام تو صرف (احکام کا) پہنچا دینا ہے۔ اور جب ہم انسان کو اپنی رحمت کا مزہ چکھاتے ہیں تو اس سے خوش ہوجاتا ہے۔ اور اگر ان کو ان ہی کے اعمال کے سبب کوئی سختی پہنچتی ہے تو (سب احسانوں کو بھول جاتے ہیں) بےشک انسان بڑا ناشکرا ہے

Quran 12:87 (Partial)

And do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah, for no one loses hope in Allah’s mercy except those with no faith.” Quran 12:87 (partial) Surah Yusuf (Joseph) Instruction by Ya'qub (Jacob) to his sons to find Yusuf (Joseph) & BinYamin (Benjamin)
Yusuf (Arabic: يوسف, Yūsuf; Arabic synonym of “Joseph”) is the 12th chapter (Surah) of the Quran and has 111 Ayahs (verses)

وَلَا تَا۟يْـَٔسُوا۟ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يَا۟يْـَٔسُ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ
The story of Joseph in the Qurʾān is a continuous narrative. There are more than one hundred verses, and in totality they encompass many years and “present an amazing variety of sciences and characters in a tightly-knit plot, and offer a dramatic illustration of some of the fundamental themes of the Qurʾān.
اللہ کی رحمت سے مایوس نہ ہو، اس کی رحمت سے تو بس کافر ہی مایوس ہوا کرتے ہیں"
” The Qurʾān itself relates to the story’s importance in the third verse: “and We narrate unto you aḥsanal-qaṣaṣ (Arabic: أحسن ٱلقصص, “best (or most beautiful) of stories”).
” Most scholars believe this is referring to Joseph’s story, while others, including Ṭabari, argue it is a reference to the Qurʾān as a whole.
It asserts and documents the execution of God’s rulings despite the challenge of human intervention (“And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not”).
This is what the story of Yūsuf confirms categorically, for it ends with comfort and marvels, which is described in the Qurʾān

Quran 15:28~44

˹Remember, O Prophet˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from sounding clay moulded from black mud. So when I have fashioned him and had a spirit of My Own ˹creation˺ breathed into him, fall down in prostration to him.” So the angels prostrated all together—but not Iblîs, who refused to prostrate with the others. Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What is the matter with you that you did not join others in prostration?” He replied, “It is not for me to prostrate to a human You created from sounding clay moulded from black mud.” Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed. And surely upon you is condemnation until the Day of Judgment.”
It is named ‘Hijr’ after the valley located between Madinah and Sham [Greater Syria],
where the people of Salih, Thamud lived.
Satan appealed, “My Lord! Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.” Allah said, “You will be delayed until the appointed Day.” Satan responded, “My Lord! For allowing me to stray I will surely tempt them on earth and mislead them all together, except Your chosen servants among them.” Allah said, “This is the Way, binding on Me: you will certainly have no authority over My servants, except the deviant who follow you, and surely Hell is their destined place, all together. It has seven gates, to each a group of them is designated.” Quran 15:28~44 [Surah al-Hijr (Rock City)]

Quran 4:26~28

It is Allah’s Will to make things clear to you, guide you to the ˹noble˺ ways of those before you, and turn to you in mercy. For Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. And it is Allah’s Will to turn to you in grace, but those who follow their desires wish to see you deviate entirely ˹from Allah’s Way˺. And it is Allah’s Will to lighten your burdens, for humankind was created weak. Quran 4:26~28 [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.

یُرِیدُ ٱللَّهُ لِیُبَیِّنَ لَكُمۡ وَیَهۡدِیَكُمۡ سُنَنَ ٱلَّذِینَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَیَتُوبَ عَلَیۡكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِیمٌ حَكِیمࣱ وَٱللَّهُ یُرِیدُ أَن یَتُوبَ عَلَیۡكُمۡ وَیُرِیدُ ٱلَّذِینَ یَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلشَّهَوَ ٰتِ أَن تَمِیلُوا۟ مَیۡلًا عَظِیمࣰا یُرِیدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن یُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمۡۚ وَخُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ ضَعِیفࣰا
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.
خدا چاہتا ہے کہ (اپنی آیتیں) تم سے کھول کھول کر بیان فرمائے اور تم کو اگلے لوگوں کے طریقے بتائے اور تم پر مہربانی کرے اور خدا جاننے والا (اور) حکمت والا ہے اور خدا تو چاہتا ہے کہ تم پر مہربانی کرے اور جو لوگ اپنی خواہشوں کے پیچھے چلتے ہیں وہ چاہتے ہیں کہ تم سیدھے راستے سے بھٹک کر دور جا پڑو خدا چاہتا ہے کہ تم پر سے بوجھ ہلکا کرے اور انسان (طبعاً) کمزور پیدا ہوا ہے

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 .

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).
