Quran 23:81~90

But they ˹just˺ say what their predecessors said. They said, “Once we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be resurrected? We have already been promised this, as well as our forefathers earlier. This is nothing but ancient fables!” Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “To whom belong the earth and all those on it, if you ˹really˺ know?” They will reply, “To Allah!” Say, “Why are you not then mindful?” continued…
Surah al-Mu’minum [The Believers] takes its name after the first Ayat, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ “Certainly will the Believers have succeeded.” [23:1].
˹And˺ ask ˹them˺, “Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Mighty Throne?” They will reply, “Allah.” Say, “Will you not then fear ˹Him˺?” Ask ˹them also,˺ “In Whose Hands is the authority over all things, protecting ˹all˺ while none can protect against Him, if you ˹really˺ know?” They will reply, “Allah.” Say, “How are you then so deluded?” In fact, We have brought them the truth, and they are certainly liars. Quran 23:81~90 Surah Ayah al-Mu`minun (The Believers)
This Surah has 118 Ayat.

In this Surah people are invited to accept and follow the Prophet. This is the central theme of the Surah. It speaks about the character of true believers and assures that they will be the real successful people. It draws attention to various stages of human creation, to many other universal signs. Then it takes some of the stories of other prophets and tells us that they also preached the same message.
مگر یہ لوگ وہی کچھ کہتے ہیں جو ان کے پیش رَو کہہ چکے ہیں یہ کہتے ہیں "کیا جب ہم مر کر مٹی ہو جائیں گے اور ہڈیوں کا پنجر بن کر رہ جائیں گے تو ہم کو پھر زندہ کر کے اٹھایا جائے گا؟ ہم نے بھی یہ وعدے بہت سنے ہیں اور ہم سے پہلے ہمارے باپ دادا بھی سنتے رہے ہیں یہ محض افسانہائے پارینہ ہیں" ان سے کہو، بتاؤ اگر تم جانتے ہو، کہ یہ زمین اور اس کی ساری آبادی کس کی ہے؟ یہ ضرور کہیں گے اللہ کی کہو، پھر تم ہوش میں کیوں نہیں آتے؟

The character of the Believers. Various stages of human creation and Allah’s signs in the universe.
The Message of Prophet Noah, his people’s response and then the flood.
Generations were raised after Prophet Noah. Many prophets were sent among them. Then came Prophet Moses and Aaron and then came Jesus – peace be upon them all.
All prophets are one Ummah and preached the same religion. Those who are affluent think that they are also the righteous people, but the righteous are only those who do the good deeds.
Everything in the heaven and earth belongs to Allah.
Prophet’s job is to continue presenting the message of Allah.
ان سے پوچھو، ساتوں آسمانوں اور عرش عظیم کا مالک کون ہے؟ یہ ضرور کہیں گے اللہ کہو، پھر تم ڈرتے کیوں نہیں؟ ان سے کہو، بتاؤ اگر تم جانتے ہو کہ ہر چیز پر اقتدار کس کا ہے؟ اور کون ہے وہ جو پناہ دیتا ہے اور اس کے مقابلے میں کوئی پناہ نہیں دے سکتا؟ یہ ضرور کہیں گے کہ یہ بات تو اللہ ہی کے لیے ہے کہو، پھر کہاں سے تم کو دھوکا لگتا ہے؟ جو امر حق ہے وہ ہم اِن کے سامنے لے آئے ہیں، اور کوئی شک نہیں کہ یہ لوگ جھوٹے ہیں

Quran 11:45~47

Noah called out to his Lord, saying, “My Lord! Certainly my son is ˹also˺ of my family, Your promise is surely true, and You are the most just of all judges!” Allah replied, “O Noah! He is certainly not of your family— he was entirely of unrighteous conduct. So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of! I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance.” Noah pleaded, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from asking You about what I have no knowledge of, and unless You forgive me and have mercy on me, I will be one of the losers.” Quran 11:45~47 Surah Hud
The mention of Prophet Hud occurs more time in this Surah than any other Surah of the Qur’an. It appears a total of 5 times.
The Prophet refered to this surah as Hud in a number of hadeeth. Abu Bakr once said to the Prophet, ‘O Messenger of Allah, you have become old.’ The Prophet said, ‘I have become old [due to] [Surah] Hud, al-Waqiah [56], al-Murasalat [77], Amma yatasailoon [an-Naba 78] and Waidha ash-Shamsu kuwirat [at-Takweer 81].” [Tirmidhee]
There are 123 Ayat in this Surah.

وَنَادَىٰ نُوحࣱ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبۡنِی مِنۡ أَهۡلِی وَإِنَّ وَعۡدَكَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحۡكَمُ ٱلۡحَـٰكِمِینَ قَالَ یَـٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَیۡسَ مِنۡ أَهۡلِكَۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَیۡرُ صَـٰلِحࣲۖ فَلَا تَسۡءَلۡنِ مَا لَیۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌۖ إِنِّیۤ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡجَـٰهِلِینَ قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّیۤ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنۡ أَسۡءَلَكَ مَا لَیۡسَ لِی بِهِۦ عِلۡمࣱۖ وَإِلَّا تَغۡفِرۡ لِی وَتَرۡحَمۡنِیۤ أَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡخَـٰسِرِینَ
In this Surah we have the stories of Prophets Noah, Salih, Hud, Lot, Shuaib and Moses – peace be upon them all. The basic point is that Allah sent His Prophets and Messengers to mankind out of His grace and mercy, but when people did not listen to the Prophets and rejected their message then Allah’s punishment came and came relentlessly. It did not make any difference whether someone was the son of a Prophet or his wife or any one, none could escape Allah’s judgment.
اور نوح نے اپنے پروردگار کو پکارا اور کہا کہ پروردگار میرا بیٹا بھی میرے گھر والوں میں ہے (تو اس کو بھی نجات دے) تیرا وعدہ سچا ہے اور تو سب سے بہتر حاکم ہے خدا نے فرمایا کہ نوح وہ تیرے گھر والوں میں نہیں ہے وہ تو ناشائستہ افعال ہے تو جس چیز کی تم کو حقیقت معلوم نہیں ہے اس کے بارے میں مجھ سے سوال ہی نہ کرو۔ اور میں تم کو نصیحت کرتا ہوں کہ نادان نہ بنو نوح نے کہا پروردگار میں تجھ سے پناہ مانگتا ہوں کہ ایسی چیز کا تجھ سے سوال کروں جس کی حقیقت مجھے معلوم نہیں۔ اور اگر تو مجھے نہیں بخشے گا اور مجھ پر رحم نہیں کرے گا تو میں تباہ ہوجاؤں گا

Quran 16:48~50

Have they not considered how the shadows of everything Allah has created incline to the right and the left ˹as the sun moves˺, totally submitting to Allah in all humility? And to Allah ˹alone˺ bows down ˹in submission˺ whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of living creatures, as do the angels—who are not too proud ˹ to do so˺. They fear their Lord above them, and do whatever they are commanded. Quran 16:48~50 Surah an-Nahl (The Bee) prostration verse
The Bee (Arabic: الْنَّحْل; an-naḥl) is the 16th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an, with 128 verses (āyāt).

Quran 26:201~209

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment, which will take them by surprise when they least expect ˹it˺. Then they will cry, “Can we be allowed more time?” Do they ˹really˺ seek to hasten Our torment? Imagine ˹O Prophet˺ if We allowed them enjoyment for years, then there came to them what they had been threatened with: would that enjoyment be of any benefit to them ˹at all˺? We have never destroyed a society without warners to remind ˹them˺, for We would never wrong ˹anyone˺. Quran 26:201~209 Surah ash-Shu`ara` (The Poets)
The Surah is named ‘The Poets’ and is mentioned in the Ayat, وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ “And the poets – [only] the deviators follow them;” (26:224).
This is the longest Makki Surah of the Qur’an having 227 Ayat.

لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ یَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِیمَ فَیَأۡتِیَهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَهُمۡ لَا یَشۡعُرُونَ فَیَقُولُوا۟ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا یَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ أَفَرَءَیۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَـٰهُمۡ سِنِینَ ثُمَّ جَاۤءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُوعَدُونَ مَاۤ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ یُمَتَّعُونَ وَمَاۤ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡیَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِینَ
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.
وہ دردناک عذاب دیکھے بغیر اس پر ایمان نہیں لائیں گے پھر وہ ان پر اچاناک آئے گا اور انہیں خبر بھی نہ ہوگی پھر کہیں گے کیا ہمیں مہلت مل سکتی ہے کیا ہمارے عذاب کو جلد چاہتے ہیں بھلا دیکھ اگر ہم انہیں چند سال فائدہ اٹھانے دیں پھر ان کے پاس وہ عذاب آئے جس کا وعدہ دیے جاتے ہیں تو جو انہوں نے فائدہ اٹھایا ہے کیا ان کے کچھ کام بھی آئے گا اور ہم نے ایسی کوئی بستی ہلاک نہیں کی جس کے لیے ڈرانے والے نہ آئے ہوں نصیحت دینے کے لیے اور ہم ظالم نہیں تھے
