Quran 77:1~13 (Ayah al-Mursalat)

By those ˹winds˺ sent forth successively, and those blowing violently, and those scattering ˹rainclouds˺ widely! And ˹by˺ those ˹angels˺ fully distinguishing ˹truth from falsehood˺, and those delivering revelation, ending excuses and giving warnings. Surely, what you are promised will come to pass. So when the stars are put out, and the sky is torn apart, and the mountains are blown away, and the messengers’ time ˹to testify˺ comes up—for which Day has all this been set? For the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision! Quran 77:1~13 Surah al-Mursalat (Winds Sent Forth)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا “By those [winds] sent forth in gusts” [77:1].
There are 50 Ayat in this Surah.
وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَـٰتِ عُرۡفࣰا فَٱلۡعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصۡفࣰا وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَ ٰتِ نَشۡرࣰا فَٱلۡفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرۡقࣰا فَٱلۡمُلۡقِیَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فُرِجَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ لِأَیِّ یَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ لِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ‏
In the previous Surah it was mentioned how the Believers receive the moral and spiritual perfection, now in this Surah it is mentioned how the rejecters of the truth have their downfall and are destroyed.
قسم ہے اُن (ہواؤں) کی جو پے در پے بھیجی جاتی ہیں پھر طوفانی رفتار سے چلتی ہیں اور (بادلوں کو) اٹھا کر پھیلاتی ہیں پھر (اُن کو) پھاڑ کر جدا کرتی ہیں پھر (دلوں میں خدا کی) یاد ڈالتی ہیں عذر کے طور پر یا ڈراوے کے طور پر جس چیز کا تم سے وعدہ کیا جا رہا ہے وہ ضرور واقع ہونے والی ہے پھر جب ستارے ماند پڑ جائیں گے اور آسمان پھاڑ دیا جائے گا اور پہاڑ دھنک ڈالے جائیں گے اور رسولوں کی حاضری کا وقت آ پہنچے گا (اس روز وہ چیز واقع ہو جائے گی) کس روز کے لیے یہ کام اٹھا رکھا گیا ہے؟ فیصلے کے روز کے لیے
Its theme is to affirm the Resurrection and Hereafter and to warn the people of the consequences which will ultimately follow the denial and the affirmation of these truths. In the first seven verses, the system of winds has been presented as an evidence of the truth that the Resurrection which is being foretold by the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad must come to pass. The reasoning is that the power of All-Mighty God Who established this wonderful system on the earth, cannot be helpless in bringing about the Resurrection and the express wisdom which underlies this system bears full evidence that the Hereafter must appear, for no act of an All-Wise Creator can be vain and purposeless, and if there was no Hereafter, it would mean that the whole of one’s life was useless and absurd.

Quran 31:10~11

He created the heavens without pillars— as you can see— and placed firm mountains upon the earth so it does not shake with you, and scattered throughout it all types of creatures. And We send down rain from the sky, causing every type of fine plant to grow on earth. This is Allah’s creation. Now show Me what those ˹gods˺ other than Him have created. In fact, the wrongdoers are clearly astray. Quran 31:10~11 Surah Luqman
This Surah is named after the wise person called, Luqman – who was well known amongst the Arabs for his wisdom.

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ بِغَیۡرِ عَمَدࣲ تَرَوۡنَهَاۖ وَأَلۡقَىٰ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَوَ ٰسِیَ أَن تَمِیدَ بِكُمۡ وَبَثَّ فِیهَا مِن كُلِّ دَاۤبَّةࣲۚ وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءࣰ فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِیهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجࣲ كَرِیمٍ هَـٰذَا خَلۡقُ ٱللَّهِ فَأَرُونِی مَاذَا خَلَقَ ٱلَّذِینَ مِن دُونِهِۦۚ بَلِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ فِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ مُّبِینࣲ
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.
اس نے آسمانوں کو پیدا کیا بغیر ستونوں کے جو تم کو نظر آئیں اُس نے زمین میں پہاڑ جما دیے تاکہ وہ تمہیں لے کر ڈھلک نہ جائے اس نے ہر طرح کے جانور زمین میں پھیلا دیے اور آسمان سے پانی برسایا اور زمین میں قسم قسم کی عمدہ چیزیں اگا دیں یہ تو ہے اللہ کی تخلیق، اب ذرا مجھے دکھاؤ، ان دوسروں نے کیا پیدا کیا ہے؟ اصل بات یہ ہے کہ یہ ظالم لوگ صریح گمراہی میں پڑے ہوئے ہیں

Quran 78:17~29

Indeed, the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision is an appointed time— ˹it is˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and you will ˹all˺ come forth in crowds. The sky will be ˹split˺ open, becoming ˹many˺ gates, and the mountains will be blown away, becoming ˹like˺ a mirage. Indeed, Hell is lying in ambush as a home for the transgressors, where they will remain for ˹endless˺ ages. There they will not taste any coolness or drink, except boiling water and ˹oozing˺ pus— a fitting reward. For they never expected any reckoning, and totally rejected Our signs. And We have everything recorded precisely. Quran 78:17~29 [Surah an-Naba’ ] (Arabic: النبأ, an-nabaʼ, also known as "The Tidings", "The Announcement")

بے شک فیصلے کا دن ایک مقرر وقت ہے جس روز صور میں پھونک مار دی جائے گی، تم فوج در فوج نکل آؤ گے اور آسمان کھول دیا جائے گا حتیٰ کہ وہ دروازے ہی دروازے بن کر رہ جائے گا اور پہاڑ چلائے جائیں گے تو وہ ریت ہو کر رہ جائیں گے درحقیقت جہنم ایک گھات ہے سرکشوں کا ٹھکانا جس میں وہ مدتوں پڑے رہیں گے اُس کے اندر کسی ٹھنڈک اور پینے کے قابل کسی چیز کا مزہ وہ نہ چکھیں گے کچھ ملے گا تو بس گرم پانی اور زخموں کا دھوون (اُن کے کرتوتوں) کا بھرپور بدلہ وہ کسی حساب کی توقع نہ رکھتے تھے اور ہماری آیات کو انہوں نے بالکل جھٹلا دیا تھا اور حال یہ تھا کہ ہم نے ہر چیز گن گن کر لکھ رکھی تھی
This Surah takes its name from the second Ayat, عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ “About the great news -” [78:2].

Quran 22:18

Do you not see that whoever is in the heavens & whoever is on the earth prostrate to Allah, including the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the animals, and many people?
