Quran 92:5~11

As for the one who is charitable, mindful ˹of Allah˺, and ˹firmly˺ believes in the finest reward, We will facilitate for them the Way of Ease. And as for the one who is stingy, indifferent ˹to Allah˺, and ˹staunchly˺ denies the finest reward, We will facilitate for them the path of hardship. And their wealth will be of no benefit to them when they tumble ˹into Hell˺. Quran 92:5~11 [ Surah al-Layl , The Night ]
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat,
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ “By the night when it covers” [92:1].
There are 21 Ayat in this Surah.

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡیُسۡرَىٰ وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ فَسَنُیَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ وَمَا یُغۡنِی عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥۤ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰۤ
It has basically the same theme as the previous Surah, but it tells us about the two ways of life: good way and evil way and the consequences of both ways.
تو جس نے (خدا کے رستے میں مال) دیا اور پرہیز گاری کی اور نیک بات کو سچ جانا اس کو ہم آسان طریقے کی توفیق دیں گے اور جس نے بخل کیا اور بےپروا بنا رہا اور نیک بات کو جھوٹ سمجھا اسے سختی میں پہنچائیں گے اور جب وہ (دوزخ کے گڑھے میں) گرے گا تو اس کا مال اس کے کچھ کام نہ آئے گا
Its theme is to distinguish between the two different ways of life and to explain the contrast between their ultimate ends and results. In view of the subject matter this Surah consists of two parts, the first part consisting of v. 1-11 and the second of v. 12-21.

Quran 17:25

Your Lord knows best what is within yourselves. If you are righteous, He is certainly All-Forgiving to those who ˹constantly˺ turn to Him.
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).

رَّبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِی نُفُوسِكُمۡۚ إِن تَكُونُوا۟ صَـٰلِحِینَ فَإِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِلۡأَوَّ ٰبِینَ غَفُورࣰا
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.
تمہارا رب خوب جانتا ہے کہ تمہارے دلوں میں کیا ہے اگر تم صالح بن کر رہو تو وہ ایسے سب لوگوں کے لیے در گزر کرنے والا ہے جو اپنے قصور پر متنبہ ہو کر بندگی کے رویے کی طرف پلٹ آئیں
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 6:105~107

See how I (God) present My Revelations again and again (in different manners) to reach those who are blessed with knowledge. Yet, instead [of thinking about them] they say: "You (Mohammad) have copied these (verses) from such and such place Follow what God has revealed to you and disregard the disbelievers. There is no other lord but God If God had willed, they would not [have lost the straight path and would not] have worshipped none but God. I have not appointed you (Mohammad) to be their guardian nor are you responsible for their deeds. Quran 6:105~107

وَكَذَ ٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلۡءَایَـٰتِ وَلِیَقُولُوا۟ دَرَسۡتَ وَلِنُبَیِّنَهُۥ لِقَوۡمࣲ یَعۡلَمُونَ ٱتَّبِعۡ مَاۤ أُوحِیَ إِلَیۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۖ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ وَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِینَ وَلَوۡ شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُ مَاۤ أَشۡرَكُوا۟ۗ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَـٰكَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ حَفِیظࣰاۖ وَمَاۤ أَنتَ عَلَیۡهِم بِوَكِیلࣲ
This surah dwells on such themes as the clear signs of Allah’s Dominion and Power, rejecting polytheism and unbelief, the establishment of Tawhid (pure monotheism), the Revelation, Messengership, and Resurrection.
اِس طرح ہم اپنی آیات کو بار بار مختلف طریقوں سے بیان کرتے ہیں اور اس لیے کرتے ہیں کہ یہ لوگ کہیں تم کسی سے پڑھ آئے ہو، اور جو لوگ علم رکھتے ہیں ان پر ہم حقیقت کو روشن کر دیں اے محمدؐ! اُس وحی کی پیروی کیے جاؤ جو تم پر تمہارے رب کی طرف سے نازل ہوئی ہے کیونکہ اُس ایک رب کے سوا کوئی اور خدا نہیں ہے اور ان مشرکین کے پیچھے نہ پڑو اگر اللہ کی مشیت ہوتی تو (وہ خود ایسا بندوبست کرسکتا تھا کہ) یہ لوگ شرک نہ کرتے تم کو ہم نے ان پر پاسبان مقرر نہیں کیا ہے اور نہ تم ان پر حوالہ دار ہو
Paying attention carefully to the contents of the verses of this Surah can remove the soul of hypocrisy and disperse from among Muslims, and cause the ears to be hearing, the eyes to be clear-sighted, and the hearts (minds) to be knowledgeable.

Quran 43:63~65

When Jesus came with clear proofs, he declared, “I have come to you with wisdom, and to clarify to you some of what you differ about. So fear Allah, and obey me. Surely Allah ˹alone˺ is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him ˹alone˺. This is the Straight Path.” Yet their ˹various˺ groups have differed among themselves ˹about him˺, so woe to the wrongdoers when they face the torment of a painful Day ! Quran 43:63~65
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَزُخْرُفًا ۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَالْآخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ “And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.” (43:35) There are 89 Ayat in this Surah.

وَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ عِیسَىٰ بِٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتِ قَالَ قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ وَلِأُبَیِّنَ لَكُم بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِی تَخۡتَلِفُونَ فِیهِۖ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِیعُونِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّی وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ هَـٰذَا صِرَ ٰطࣱ مُّسۡتَقِیمࣱ فَٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ مِنۢ بَیۡنِهِمۡۖ فَوَیۡلࣱ لِّلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنۡ عَذَابِ یَوۡمٍ أَلِیمٍ
The Surah tells us that the revelation is a mercy from Allah. Allah chooses whosoever He wills to give His revelation. The worldly goods and riches do not necessarily mean that a person is best in the sight of Allah. The real value comes from following the truth and righteousness.
اور جب عیسیٰؑ صریح نشانیاں لے کر آئے تو انہوں نے کہا تھا کہ "میں تم لوگوں کے پاس حکمت لے کر آیا ہوں، اور اس لیے آیا ہوں کہ تم پر بعض اُن باتوں کی حقیقت کھول دوں جن میں تم اختلاف کر رہے ہو، لہٰذا تم اللہ سے ڈرو اور میری اطاعت کرو حقیقت یہ ہے کہ اللہ ہی میرا رب بھی ہے اور تمہارا رب بھی اُسی کی تم عبادت کرو، یہی سیدھا راستہ ہے" مگر (اُن کی اِس صاف تعلیم کے باوجود) گروہوں نے آپس میں اختلاف کیا، پس تباہی ہے اُن لوگوں کے لیے جنہوں نے ظلم کیا ایک دردناک دن کے عذاب سے
