Then I (Nuh) certainly called them openly, then I surely preached to them publicly and privately, saying, ‘Seek your Lord’s forgiveness, ˹for˺ He is truly Most Forgiving.

يَٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا تَنَجَيْتُمْ فَلَا تَتَنَجَوْا۟ بِٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْعُدْوَنِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَتَنَجَوْا۟ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ
The Surah talks about a bad social custom by which husbands in pre-Islamic times used to oppress their wives. Some one would call his wife “mother” and thus would separate from her, but would not give her the divorce. Allah condemned this custom. The Surah also speaks about the hypocrites and other non-Muslim groups in Madinah who were involved in spreading rumors against the Prophet (saw). They are given warnings here and Muslims are urged to be alert and careful.
مومنو! جب تم آپس میں سرگوشیاں کرنے لگو تو گناہ اور زیادتی اور پیغمبر کی نافرمانی کی باتیں نہ کرنا بلکہ نیکوکاری اور پرہیزگاری کی باتیں کرنا۔ اور خدا سے جس کے سامنے جمع کئے جاؤ گے ڈرتے رہنا
Sections:
The custom of Zihar is condemned. The rights of women should be protected.
Allah is aware of the secret counsels of the hypocrites. Believers should not involve in such activities. The rules of gatherings in Islam.
Be aware of the internal enemies also. Do not take as patrons those who are the enemies of Allah and His Messenger.

Quran 2:270~271

Whatever charities you give or vows you make are surely known to Allah. And the wrongdoers will have no helpers. To give charity publicly is good, but to give to the poor privately is better for you, and will absolve you of your sins. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do. Quran 2:270~271
Al-Baqara, alternatively transliterated Al-Baqarah (Arabic: البقرة, ’al-baqarah; lit. “The Heifer” or “The Cow”), is the second and longest chapter (surah) of the Quran.
It consists of 286 verses (āyāt)

وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُم مِّن نَّفَقَةٍ أَوْ نَذَرْتُم مِّن نَّذْرٍۢ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُهُۥ ۗ وَمَا لِلظَّلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ ‎ ‏إِن تُبْدُوا۟ ٱلصَّدَقَتِ فَنِعِمَّا هِىَ ۖ وَإِن تُخْفُوهَا وَتُؤْتُوهَا ٱلْفُقَرَآءَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنكُم مِّن سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌۭ
The surah encompasses a variety of topics and contains several commands for Muslims such as enjoining fasting on the believer during the month of Ramadan; forbidding interest or usury (riba); and several famous verses such as The Throne Verse, Al-Baqara 256, and the final two or three verses. The surah addresses a wide variety of topics, including substantial amounts of law, and retells stories of Adam, Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses). A major theme is guidance: urging the pagans (Al-Mushrikeen) and the Jews of Medina to embrace Islam, and warning them and the hypocrites (Munafiqun) of the fate God had visited in the past on those who failed to heed his call.
اور تم (خدا کی راہ میں) جس طرح کا خرچ کرو یا کوئی نذر مانو خدا اس کو جانتا ہے اور ظالموں کا کوئی مددگار نہیں اگر تم خیرات ظاہر دو تو وہ بھی خوب ہے اور اگر پوشیدہ دو اور دو بھی اہل حاجت کو تو وہ خوب تر ہے اور (اس طرح کا دینا) تمہارے گناہوں کو بھی دور کردے گا۔ اور خدا کو تمہارے سب کاموں کی خبر ہے
