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).

أَوَ لَمۡ یَرَوۡا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَیۡءࣲ یَتَفَیَّؤُا۟ ظِلَـٰلُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلۡیَمِینِ وَٱلشَّمَاۤىِٕلِ سُجَّدࣰا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمۡ دَ ٰخِرُونَ وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍۢ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ ۩ یَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُم مِّن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَیَفۡعَلُونَ مَا یُؤۡمَرُونَ ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏
The Surah speaks about Allah’s creative power.
Everything in the universe points to Allah.
There is coherence and balance in Allah’s creation.
اور کیا یہ لوگ اللہ کی پیدا کی ہوئی کسی چیز کو بھی نہیں دیکھتے کہ اس کا سایہ کس طرح اللہ کے حضور سجدہ کرتے ہوئے دائیں اور بائیں گرتا ہے؟ سب کے سب اِس طرح اظہار عجز کر رہے ہیں زمین اور آسمانوں میں جس قدر جان دار مخلوقات ہیں اور جتنے ملائکہ ہیں سب اللہ کے آگے سر بسجود ہیں وہ ہرگز سرکشی نہیں کرتے ۩ اپنے رب سے جو اُن کے اوپر ہے، ڈرتے ہیں اور جو کچھ حکم دیا جاتا ہے اسی کے مطابق کام کرتے ہیں

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 27:22~26

It was not long before the bird came and said, “I have found out something you do not know. I have just come to you from Sheba (saba/سبأ) with sure news. Indeed, I found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything ˹she needs˺, and who has a magnificent throne. I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. For Satan has made their deeds appealing to them— hindering them from the ˹Right˺ Way and leaving them unguided— so they do not prostrate to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you ˹all˺ conceal and what you reveal. ˹He is˺ Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.” Quran 27:22~26 ۩ Ayat-e-Sajda / Prostration Verse

فَمَكَثَ غَيۡرَ بَعِيۡدٍ فَقَالَ اَحَطْتُّ بِمَا لَمۡ تُحِطۡ بِهٖ وَ جِئۡتُكَ مِنۡ سَبَاٍۢ بِنَبَاٍ يَّقِيۡنٍ‏ اِنِّىۡ وَجَدتُّ امۡرَاَةً تَمۡلِكُهُمۡ وَاُوۡتِيَتۡ مِنۡ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ وَّلَهَا عَرۡشٌ عَظِيۡمٌ‏ وَجَدْتُّهَا وَقَوۡمَهَا يَسۡجُدُوۡنَ لِلشَّمۡسِ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ فَصَدَّهُمۡ عَنِ السَّبِيۡلِ فَهُمۡ لَا يَهۡتَدُوۡنَۙ‏ اَلَّا يَسۡجُدُوۡا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىۡ يُخۡرِجُ الۡخَبۡءَ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تُخۡفُوۡنَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُوۡنَ‏ اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الۡعَرۡشِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ ۩
The theme of the Surah is divine guidance in history.
Allah sent His Prophets to different people. Some accepted them and were guided,
while others denied them and they saw the consequences of their denial.
The Surah also contrasts between the principles of Tawhid and shirk.
ابھی تھوڑی ہی دیر ہوئی تھی کہ ہُدہُد آ موجود ہوا اور کہنے لگا کہ مجھے ایک ایسی چیز معلوم ہوئی ہے جس کی آپ کو خبر نہیں اور میں آپ کے پاس (شہر) سبا سے ایک سچی خبر لے کر آیا ہوں میں نے ایک عورت دیکھی کہ ان لوگوں پر بادشاہت کرتی ہے اور ہر چیز اسے میسر ہے اور اس کا ایک بڑا تخت ہے میں نے دیکھا کہ وہ اور اس کی قوم خدا کو چھوڑ کر آفتاب کو سجدہ کرتے ہیں اور شیطان نے ان کے اعمال انہیں آراستہ کر دکھائے ہیں اور ان کو رستے سے روک رکھا ہے پس وہ رستے پر نہیں آئے (اور نہیں سمجھتے) کہ خدا کو آسمانوں اور زمین میں چھپی چیزوں کو ظاہر کردیتا اور تمہارے پوشیدہ اور ظاہر اعمال کو جانتا ہے کیوں سجدہ نہ کریں خدا کے سوا کوئی عبادت کے لائق نہیں وہی عرش عظیم کا مالک ہے ۩
