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 32:10~12

˹Still˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “When we are disintegrated into the earth, will we really be raised as a new creation?” In fact, they are in denial of the meeting with their Lord. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Your soul will be taken by the Angel of Death, who is in charge of you. Then to your Lord you will ˹all˺ be returned.” If only you could see the wicked hanging their heads ˹in shame˺ before their Lord, ˹crying:˺ “Our Lord ! We have now seen and heard, so send us back and we will do good. We truly have sure faith ˹now˺!”

Quran 96:9~19

Have you seen the man who prevents a servant ˹of Ours˺ from praying? What if this ˹servant˺ is ˹rightly˺ guided, or encourages righteousness? What if that ˹man˺ persists in denial and turns away? Does he not know that Allah sees ˹all˺? But no ! If he does not desist, We will certainly drag him by the forelock—a lying, sinful forelock. So let him call his associates. We will call the wardens of Hell. Again, no ! Never obey him ˹O Prophet˺! Rather, ˹continue to˺ prostrate and draw near ˹to Allah˺. ۩ PROSTRATION VERSE Quran 96:9~19 [SURAH AL-’ALAQ]
The Surah takes its name after the second Ayat,
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
“Created man from a clinging substance.” [96:2].
There are 19 Ayat in this Surah.

أَرَءَیۡتَ ٱلَّذِی یَنۡهَىٰ عَبۡدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰۤ أَرَءَیۡتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰۤ أَوۡ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقۡوَىٰۤ أَرَءَیۡتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰۤ أَلَمۡ یَعۡلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ یَرَىٰ كَلَّا لَىِٕن لَّمۡ یَنتَهِ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِیَةِ نَاصِیَةࣲ كَـٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةࣲ فَلۡیَدۡعُ نَادِیَهُۥ سَنَدۡعُ ٱلزَّبَانِیَةَ كَلَّا لَا تُطِعۡهُ وَٱسۡجُدۡۤ وَٱقۡتَرِب ۩
The first five Ayat are among the first that were revealed to the Prophet (saw), aged forty, in the cave of Hira, Makkah.
Then the rest of the Surah was revealed when the message was presented to the people of Makkah and they began threatening the Prophet.
The Surah speaks about the humble beginning of human beings, but the high position that they can receive if they follow the message of Allah.
تم نے دیکھا اُس شخص کو جو ایک بندے کو منع کرتا ہے جبکہ وہ نماز پڑھتا ہو؟ تمہارا کیا خیال ہے اگر (وہ بندہ) راہ راست پر ہو یا پرہیزگاری کی تلقین کرتا ہو؟ تمہارا کیا خیال ہے اگر (یہ منع کرنے والا شخص حق کو) جھٹلاتا اور منہ موڑتا ہو؟ کیا وہ نہیں جانتا کہ اللہ دیکھ رہا ہے؟ ہرگز نہیں، اگر وہ باز نہ آیا تو ہم اس کی پیشانی کے بال پکڑ کر اسے کھینچیں گے اُس پیشانی کو جو جھوٹی اور سخت خطا کار ہے وہ بلا لے اپنے حامیوں کی ٹولی کو ہم بھی عذاب کے فرشتوں کو بلا لیں گے ہرگز نہیں، اُس کی بات نہ مانو اور سجدہ کرو اور (اپنے رب کا) قرب حاصل کرو ۩
Chapter 96 of the Qur’an is traditionally believed to have been Muhammad’s first revelation.
While on retreat in the Cave of Hira, located at Mountain Jabal al-Nour near Mecca, Angel Gabriel appears before The Islamic Prophet and commands him to “Read!”.
He responded, “But I cannot read!”.
Then the angel Gabriel embraced him tightly and then revealed to him the first lines,
“Read: In the name of your Lord Who created, (1) Created man from a clot. (2) Read: And your Lord is the Most Generous, (3) Who taught by the pen, (4) Taught man that which he knew not.”
(Bukhari 4953).
It is traditionally understood the first five ayat or verses (1–5) of Surah Alaq were revealed;
however, this is not the first fully complete Surah to be revealed and was actually revealed in 3 parts.

Quran 7:204~206

When the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and be silent, so you may be shown mercy. Remember your Lord inwardly with humility and reverence and in a moderate tone of voice, both morning and evening. And do not be one of the heedless. Surely those ˹angels˺ nearest to your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him. And to Him they prostrate. Quran 7:204~206 PROSTRATION VERSE
The Surah is named after the story of the men awaiting on the “Elevations” between Paradise and Hell.
It comprises of 206 Ayat.

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ فَٱسۡتَمِعُوا۟ لَهُۥ وَأَنصِتُوا۟ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ وَٱذۡكُر رَّبَّكَ فِی نَفۡسِكَ تَضَرُّعࣰا وَخِیفَةࣰ وَدُونَ ٱلۡجَهۡرِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ بِٱلۡغُدُوِّ وَٱلۡءَاصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلۡغَـٰفِلِینَ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا یَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَیُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ وَلَهُۥ يَسۡجُدُوۡنَ ۩
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.
اور جب قرآن پڑھا جائے تو اسے کان لگا کر سنو اور خاموش رہو کہ تم پر رحم ہو اور اپنے رب کو دل ہی دل میں عاجزی اور خوف اور پست آواز سے صبح وشام یاد کرتے رہو اور غافلوں میں نہ ہونا، بیشک وہ فرشتے جو تیرے رب کے پاس ہیں اس کی عبادت سے تکبر نہیں کرتے اور اس کی پاکی بولتے اور اسی کو سجدہ کرتے ہیں السجدة

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? But there are many people on whom the punishment is justified. And those whom Allah disgraces, then there is none for them to honor. Allah does what He wills. Quran 22:18 (Surah al-Hajj) PROSTRATION VERSE
Named after the obligation of the pilgrimage to Makkah – The Hajj.

اَلَمۡ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰہَ یَسۡجُدُ لَہٗ مَنۡ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَنۡ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ وَ الشَّمۡسُ وَ الۡقَمَرُ وَ النُّجُوۡمُ وَ الۡجِبَالُ وَ الشَّجَرُ وَ الدَّوَآبُّ وَ کَثِیۡرٌ مِّنَ النَّاسِ ؕ وَ کَثِیۡرٌ حَقَّ عَلَیۡہِ الۡعَذَابُ ؕ وَ مَنۡ یُّہِنِ اللّٰہُ فَمَا لَہٗ مِنۡ مُّکۡرِمٍ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَفۡعَلُ مَا یَشَآءُ
The Surah reminds about the approaching end of the world, need for the firmness of faith to support the truth and to eradicate the evil. It talks about prayers, humbleness and sacrifice, respect of the Ka’bah, the House of Allah, and striving to defend the truth.
کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ جو (مخلوق) آسمانوں میں ہے اور جو زمین میں ہے اور سورج اور چاند ستارے اور پہاڑ اور درخت اور چار پائے اور بہت سے انسان خدا کو سجدہ کرتے ہیں۔ اور بہت سے ایسے ہیں جن پر عذاب ثابت ہوچکا ہے۔ اور جس شخص کو خدا ذلیل کرے اس کو عزت دینے والا نہیں۔ بےشک خدا جو چاہتا ہے کرتا ہے
