فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أُوتِیَ كِتَـٰبَهُۥ بِیَمِینِهِۦ فَیَقُولُ هَاۤؤُمُ ٱقۡرَءُوا۟ كِتَـٰبِیَهۡ إِنِّی ظَنَنتُ أَنِّی مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِیَهۡ فَهُوَ فِی عِیشَةࣲ رَّاضِیَةࣲ فِی جَنَّةٍ عَالِیَةࣲ قُطُوفُهَا دَانِیَةࣱ كُلُوا۟ وَٱشۡرَبُوا۟ هَنِیۤءَۢا بِمَاۤ أَسۡلَفۡتُمۡ فِی ٱلۡأَیَّامِ ٱلۡخَالِیَةِ
The Surah tells about the fate of Thamud, ‘Ad, Pharaoh, other overthrown towns, the flood that came in the time of Prophet Noah. It talks about the reward of the faithful and the punishment of disbelievers. At the end it reminds the people that this message is not poetry of a poet and something made up by the Prophet himself, it is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.
تو جس کا (اعمال) نامہ اس کے داہنے ہاتھ میں دیا جائے گا وہ (دوسروں سے) کہے گا کہ لیجیئے میرا نامہ (اعمال) پڑھیئے مجھے یقین تھا کہ مجھ کو میرا حساب (کتاب) ضرور ملے گا پس وہ (شخص) من مانے عیش میں ہوگا (یعنی) اونچے (اونچے محلوں) کے باغ میں جن کے میوے جھکے ہوئے ہوں گے جو (عمل) تم ایام گزشتہ میں آگے بھیج چکے ہو اس کے صلے میں مزے سے کھاؤ اور پیو
Summary
1-3 The judgment of God will infallibly come
4-10 ʿĀd, Thamud, and Pharaoh destroyed for rejecting their prophets
11-16 As the flood came, so shall the judgment certainly come
17 On the Judgment Day God’s throne shall be borne by eight mighty angels
18-29 The good and bad shall receive their account-books and be judged according to their deeds
30-37 Infidels shall be bound with chains seventy cubits in length and be cast into hell-fire

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 16:22~25

Your God is ˹only˺ One God. As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are in denial, and they are too proud. Without a doubt, Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. He certainly does not like those who are too proud. And when it is said to them, “What has your Lord revealed?” They say, “Ancient fables!” Let them bear their burdens in full on the Day of Judgment as well as some of the burdens of those they mislead without knowledge. Evil indeed is what they will bear! Quran 16:22~25 Surah an-Nahl (The Bee)

And your Lord taught the honey bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men’s) habitations; Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought.

Quran 21:19~20

To Him belong all those in the heavens and the earth. And those who are near Him (the angels), are neither proud from worshiping Him, nor they are tired (of His worship). They (the angels) glorify Him tirelessly night and day Quran 21:19 ~ 20 (SURAH Al-ANBYA, THE PROPHETS)
This Surah is known as al-Anbiyah [The Prophets] and is not known by any other name. Sixteen Prophets are mentioned in this Surah [directly or indirectly]: Musa, Haroon, Isa, Zakariyyah, Yahyah, Jonah, Ismail, Idris, Dhul Kifl, Ayyub, Sulayman, Lut, Ishaq, Yaqub, Ibrahim and the Prophet Muhammad.

The basic theme of the Surah is Prophets and Prophethood as indicated by the name itself. All Prophets were human beings. They suffered at the hands of their enemies. Allah also tested them, but they always trusted Allah and lived according to His command. They were people of prayers and devotions and Allah listened to their prayers.
زمین اور آسمان میں جو مخلوق بھی ہے اللہ کی ہے اور جو (فرشتے) اس کے پاس ہیں وہ نہ اپنے آپ کو بڑا سمجھ کر اُس کی بندگی سے نہ سرتابی کرتے ہیں اور نہ تھکتے ہیں شب و روز اس کی تسبیح کرتے رہتے ہیں، اور سستی نہیں کرتے

Quran 38:73~85

So the angels prostrated all together— but not Iblîs, who acted arrogantly, becoming unfaithful. Allah asked, “O Iblîs! What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with My Own Hands? Did you ˹just˺ become proud? Or have you always been arrogant?” He replied, “I am better than he is: You created me from fire and him from clay.” Allah commanded, “Then get out of Paradise, for you are truly cursed. And surely upon you is My condemnation until the Day of Judgment.” Satan appealed, “My Lord! Then delay my end until the Day of their resurrection.” Allah said, “You will be delayed until the appointed Day.” Satan said, “By Your Glory! I will certainly mislead them all, except Your chosen servants among them.” Allah concluded, “The truth is—and I ˹only˺ say the truth—: I will surely fill up Hell with you and whoever follows you from among them, all together.” Quran 38:73~85
The Surah takes its name from the letter ‘Sad’ which is in the first Ayat, ص ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ “Sad.
By the Qur’an containing reminder…” (38:1).
There are 88 Ayat in this Surah.

The Surah talks about the basic message of all the Prophets and Messengers of Allah. They came to preach Tawhid.
The Prophet suffered and went through a lot of hardship in presenting Allah’s message.
Their enemies attacked them and persecuted them, but then finally it was the truth that prevailed and falsehood was defeated. Power and riches all come from Allah.
Some people become arrogant when they have power. But Allah gave the examples of David and Solomon who were great prophets as well as powerful kings. They obey Allah. Their riches did not corrupt them.
تو تمام فرشتوں نے سجدہ کیا مگر شیطان اکڑ بیٹھا اور کافروں میں ہوگیا (خدا نے) فرمایا کہ اے ابلیس جس شخص کو میں نے اپنے ہاتھوں سے بنایا اس کے آگے سجدہ کرنے سے تجھے کس چیز نے منع کیا۔ کیا تو غرور میں آگیا یا اونچے درجے والوں میں تھا؟ بولا کہ میں اس سے بہتر ہوں (کہ) تو نے مجھ کو کو آگ سے پیدا کیا اور اِسے مٹی سے بنایا فرمایا یہاں سے نکل جا تو مردود ہے اور تجھ پر قیامت کے دن تک میری لعنت (پڑتی) رہے گی کہنے لگا کہ میرے پروردگار مجھے اس روز تک کہ لوگ اٹھائے جائیں مہلت دے فرمایا کہ تجھ کو مہلت دی جاتی ہے اس روز تک جس کا وقت مقرر ہے کہنے لگا کہ مجھے تیری عزت کی قسم میں ان سب کو بہکاتا رہوں گا سوا ان کے جو تیرے خالص بندے ہیں فرمایا سچ (ہے) اور میں بھی سچ کہتا ہوں کہ میں تجھ سے اور جو ان میں سے تیری پیروی کریں گے سب سے جہنم کو بھر دوں گا
Then, in v. 6-19 it has been said that whether man is conscious of this fact or not, he in any case is moving to the destination where he will appear and stand before his Lord. At that time all human beings will divide into two parts: first those whose records will be given in their right hands: they will be forgiven without any severe reckoning; second those whose records will be given them behind their back. They will wish that they should die somehow, but they will not die; instead they will be cast into Hell. They will be met with this fate because in the world they remained lost in the misunderstanding that they would never have to appear before God to render an account of their deeds, whereas their Lord was watching whatever they were doing and there was no reason why they should escape the accountability for their deeds. Their moving gradually from the life of the world to the meting out of rewards and punishments in the Hereafter was as certain as the appearance of twilight after sunset, the coming of the night after the day, the returning of men and animals to their respective abodes at night and the growing of the crescent into full moon. In conclusion, the disbelievers who repudiate the Qur’an instead of bowing down to God when they hear it, have been forewarned of a grievous punishment and the good news of limitless rewards has been given to the believers and the righteous.

Quran 32:15~17

The only ˹true˺ believers in Our revelation are those who— when it is recited to them— fall into prostration and glorify the praises of their Lord and are not too proud. They abandon their beds, invoking their Lord with hope and fear, and donate from what We have provided for them. No soul can imagine what delights are kept in store for them as a reward for what they used to do. Quran 32:15~17 Surah as-Sajdah (The Prostration)
Surah as-Sajdah [The Prostration] has an Ayat of prostration (32:15) [which entails an act of prostration after its recital].

The Surah discusses some of the doubts and arguments of the non-believers against the principles of Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah.
It invites human beings to think and reflect on their own selves and on the nature surrounding them.
Every thing points that there is a Wise and Powerful Creator for this universe.
He has not created all this phenomenon in vain. The creation has a purpose.
ہماری آیتوں پر تو وہی لوگ ایمان لاتے ہیں کہ جب اُن کو اُن سے نصیحت کی جاتی ہے تو سجدے میں گرپڑتے اور اپنے پروردگار کی تعریف کے ساتھ تسبیح کرتے ہیں اور غرور نہیں کرتے اُن کے پہلو بچھونوں سے الگ رہتے ہیں (اور) وہ اپنے پروردگار کو خوف اور اُمید سے پکارتے اور جو (مال) ہم نے اُن کو دیا ہے اس میں سے خرچ کرتے ہیں کوئی متنفس نہیں جانتا کہ اُن کے لئے کیسی آنکھوں کی ٹھنڈک چھپا کر رکھی گئی ہے۔ یہ ان اعمال کا صلہ ہے جو وہ کرتے تھے
