Quran 53:50~55 (Ayah an-Najm)

And He destroyed the first ˹people of˺ ’Ȃd, and ˹then˺ Thamûd, sparing no one. And before ˹that He destroyed˺ the people of Noah, who were truly far worse in wrongdoing and transgression. And ˹it was˺ He ˹Who˺ turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down. How overwhelming was what covered ˹them˺! Now, which of your Lord’s favours will you dispute? Quran 53:50~55 Surah an-Najm (The Star)
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ “By the star when it descends,” (53:1).
There are 62 Ayat in this Surah.
وَأَنَّهُۥۤ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَاۤ أَبۡقَىٰ وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ فَبِأَیِّ ءَالَاۤءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
The Surah talks about the eminence of the Prophet (saw) with his Mi’raj and closeness to Allah. It warns the disbelievers about the errors of their attitude towards the Qur’an and the Prophet of Allah. Some of their wrong beliefs in the angels as daughters of God, intercession of the angels etc. are also mentioned.
اور یہ کہ اُسی نے عاد اولیٰ کو ہلاک کیا اور ثمود کو ایسا مٹایا کہ ان میں سے کسی کو باقی نہ چھوڑا اور اُن سے پہلے قوم نوحؑ کو تباہ کیا کیونکہ وہ تھے ہی سخت ظالم و سرکش لوگ اور اوندھی گرنے والی بستیوں کو اٹھا پھینکا پھر چھا دیا اُن پر وہ کچھ جو (تم جانتے ہی ہو کہ) کیا چھا دیا پس اے مخاطب، اپنے رب کی کن کن نعمتوں میں تو شک کرے گا؟"
Sections:
The Mi’raj experience of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). Gods or goddesses of the non-believers are mere conjectures and names without any reality.
The angels are the servants of Allah. No intercession can work against Allah. Allah is most forgiving, but He requires righteousness.
Those who deny the truth they are standing against the power and majesty of Allah.

Quran 17:61~65

And ˹remember˺ when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did— but not Iblîs, who protested, “Should I prostrate to the one You have created from mud?” Adding, “Do you see this one you honoured above me? If you delay my end until the Day of Judgment, I will certainly take hold of his descendants, except for a few.” Continued..
Allah responded, “Be gone! Whoever of them follows you, Hell will surely be the reward for all of you—an ample reward. And incite whoever you can of them with your voice, mobilize against them all your cavalry and infantry, manipulate them in their wealth and children, and make them promises.” But Satan promises them nothing but delusion. ˹Allah added,˺ “You will truly have no authority over My ˹faithful˺ servants.” And sufficient is your Lord as a Guardian. Quran 17:61~65 Surah al-Isra` (Children of Israel)
Al-Isrāʾ (Arabic: الإسراء; meaning: The Night Journey),
also known as Banī Isrāʾīl (Arabic: بني إسرائيل; meaning:
The Children of Israel) is the 17th chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 111 verses (āyāt).

The word Isra’ refers to the “night journey” of the prophet Muhammad.
This surah is part of a series al-Musabbihat surahs because it begins with the glorification of God.
اور جب ہم نے فرشتوں سے کہا کہ آدم کو سجدہ کرو تو سب نے سجدہ کیا مگر ابلیس نے نہ کیا۔ بولا کہ بھلا میں ایسے شخص کو سجدہ کرو جس کو تو نے مٹی سے پیدا کیا ہے (اور از راہ طنز) کہنے لگا کہ دیکھ تو یہی وہ ہے جسے تو نے مجھ پر فضیلت دی ہے۔ اگر تو مجھ کو قیامت کے دن تک مہلت دے تو میں تھوڑے سے شخصوں کے سوا اس کی (تمام) اولاد کی جڑ کاٹتا رہوں گا
خدا نے فرمایا (یہاں سے) چلا جا۔ جو شخص ان میں سے تیری پیروی کرے گا تو تم سب کی جزا جہنم ہے (اور وہ) پوری سزا (ہے) اور ان میں سے جس کو بہکا سکے اپنی آواز سے بہکاتا رہ۔ اور ان پر اپنے سواروں اور پیاروں کو چڑھا کر لاتا رہ اور ان کے مال اور اولاد میں شریک ہوتا رہ اور ان سے وعدے کرتا رہ۔ اور شیطان جو وعدے ان سے کرتا ہے سب دھوکا ہے جو میرے (مخلص) بندے ہیں ان پر تیرا کچھ زور نہیں۔ اور (اے پیغمبر) تمہارا پروردگار کارساز کافی ہے
This surah takes its name from the first verse which, in Islamic tradition, tells the event of the Isra,
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 .
While the city of Jerusalem (or al Quds , Al-Aqsa mosque) is mentioned by name anywhere in the Qur’an,[citation needed]
The first verse refers to Mohammed being taken from the ‘Masjid ul-harram’ to the ‘Masjid al-Aqsa’:
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).

Quran 16:45~47

Do those who devise evil plots feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them? Or that the torment will not come upon them in ways they cannot comprehend? Or that He will not seize them while they go about ˹their day˺, for then they will have no escape? Or that He will not destroy them gradually? But your Lord is truly Ever Gracious, Most Merciful. Quran 16:45~47 Surah an-Nahl (The Bee)

The Surah speaks about Allah’s creative power.
Everything in the universe points to Allah.
There is coherence and balance in Allah’s creation.
یا جو لوگ بری بری چالیں چلتے ہیں اس بات سے بےخوف ہیں کہ خدا ان کو زمین میں دھنسا دے یا (ایسی طرف سے) ان پر عذاب آجائے جہاں سے ان کو خبر ہی نہ ہو یا ان کو چلتے پھرتے پکڑ لے وہ (خدا کو) عاجز نہیں کرسکتے یا جب ان کو عذاب کا ڈر پیدا ہوگیا ہو تو ان کو پکڑلے۔ بےشک تمہارا پروردگار بہت شفقت کرنے والا اور مہربان ہے
It is named after honey bees mentioned in verse 68, and contains a comparison of the industry and adaptability of honey bees with the industry of man.
And your Lord taught the honey bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men’s) habitations; Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought.

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],

Quran 45:21~22

Or do those who commit evil deeds ˹simply˺ think that We will make them equal— in their life and after their death— to those who believe and do good? How wrong is their judgment!

Quran 42:47

Respond to your Lord before the coming of a Day from Allah that cannot be averted. There will be no refuge for you then, nor ˹grounds for˺ denial ˹of sins˺. Quran 42:47 Surah ash-Shura (The Counsel)
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat,
وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

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.

Quran 42:44~46

And whoever Allah leaves to stray will have no guide after Him. You will see the wrongdoers, when they face the torment, pleading, “Is there any way back ˹to the world˺?” And you will see them exposed to the Fire, fully humbled out of disgrace, stealing glances ˹at it˺. And the believers will say, “The ˹true˺ losers are those who have lost themselves and their families on Judgment Day.” The wrongdoers will certainly be in everlasting torment. They will have no protectors to help them against Allah. And whoever Allah leaves to stray, for them there is no way. Quran 42:44~46 Surah ash-Shura (The Counsel)
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat,
وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

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?

اے محمدؐ، ان سے کہو "میں اپنی ذات کے لیے کسی نفع اور نقصان کا اختیار نہیں رکھتا، اللہ ہی جو کچھ چاہتا ہے وہ ہو تا ہے اور اگر مجھے غیب کا علم ہوتا تو میں بہت سے فائدے اپنے لیے حاصل کر لیتا اور مجھے کبھی کوئی نقصان نہ پہنچتا میں تو محض ایک خبردار کرنے والا اور خوش خبری سنانے والا ہوں اُن لوگوں کے لیے جو میری بات مانیں"
The basic theme of this Surah is Risalah, i.e. Allah’s message as it was sent through many messengers. Several Prophets and parts of their stories are mentioned to emphasize Prophets’ mission and their struggle with their people. The Surah tells us that Allah’s Prophets suffered for the cause of truth. Their enemies tried to harm them, but then Allah helped his prophets and defeated their enemies. The Surah emphasizes that the true message must be presented under all circumstances. After the Prophets it is the duty of the Believers to convey the message of Allah to all people.
