Quranic Prayer of Job [Hazrat Ayyub [عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ]] Surah al-Anbiya` (The Prophets)
And [mention] Job [Hazrat Ayyub [عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ], when he cried to his Lord, “Great harm has afflicted me, and you are the most merciful of all merciful.” So We responded to him and removed the harm that afflicted him. And We restored his family to him and doubled their number as a mercy from Us and a reminder for God’s worshippers. Quran 21:83~84 Surah al-Anbiya` (The Prophets)

۞ وَأَیُّوبَ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنِّی مَسَّنِیَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرۡحَمُ ٱلرَّ ٰحِمِینَ فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ فَكَشَفۡنَا مَا بِهِۦ مِن ضُرࣲّۖ وَءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُ أَهۡلَهُۥ وَمِثۡلَهُم مَّعَهُمۡ رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّنۡ عِندِنَا وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡعَـٰبِدِینَ
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.
اور ایوب [عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ] کو (یاد کرو) جب انہوں نے اپنے پروردگار سے دعا کی کہ مجھے ایذا ہو رہی ہے اور تو سب سے بڑھ کر رحم کرنے والا ہے تو ہم نے ان کی دعا قبول کرلی اور جو ان کو تکلیف تھی وہ دور کردی اور ان کو بال بچے بھی عطا فرمائے اور اپنی مہربانی کے ساتھ اتنے ہی اور (بخشے) اور عبادت کرنے والوں کے لئے (یہ) نصیحت ہے

Quran 46:4~6

Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Have you considered whatever ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created on earth! Or do they have a share in ˹the creation of˺ the heavens? Bring me a scripture ˹revealed˺ before this ˹Quran˺ or a shred of knowledge, if what you say is true.” And who could be more astray than those who call upon others besides Allah— ˹others˺ that cannot respond to them until the Day of Judgment, and are ˹even˺ unaware of their calls? And when ˹such˺ people will be gathered together, those ˹gods˺ will be their enemies and will disown their worship. Quran 46:4~6 Surah al-Ahqaf (The Wind-curved Sandhills)
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَاذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا اللَّـهَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ “And mention, [O Muhammad], the brother of ‘Aad, when he warned his people in the [region of] al-Ahqaf – and warners had already passed on before him and after him – [saying], “Do not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day.” (46:21). There are 35 Ayat in this Surah.

قُلۡ أَرَءَیۡتُم مَّا تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَرُونِی مَاذَا خَلَقُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شِرۡكࣱ فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِۖ ٱئۡتُونِی بِكِتَـٰبࣲ مِّن قَبۡلِ هَـٰذَاۤ أَوۡ أَثَـٰرَةࣲ مِّنۡ عِلۡمٍ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ وَمَنۡ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن یَدۡعُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَن لَّا یَسۡتَجِیبُ لَهُۥۤ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ وَهُمۡ عَن دُعَاۤىِٕهِمۡ غَـٰفِلُونَ وَإِذَا حُشِرَ ٱلنَّاسُ كَانُوا۟ لَهُمۡ أَعۡدَاۤءࣰ وَكَانُوا۟ بِعِبَادَتِهِمۡ كَـٰفِرِینَ
The Surah gives warnings to those who deny the truth.
When Allah’s punishment comes then neither the sea, nor the dry land can protect.
There is a reference in this Surah to the people of ‘Ad and Allah’s punishment for their sins.
اے نبیؐ، اِن سے کہو، "کبھی تم نے آنکھیں کھول کر دیکھا بھی کہ وہ ہستیاں ہیں کیا جنہیں تم خدا کو چھوڑ کر پکارتے ہو؟ ذرا مجھے دکھاؤ تو سہی کہ زمین میں انہوں نے کیا پیدا کیا ہے، یا آسمانوں کی تخلیق و تدبیر میں ان کا کیا حصہ ہے اِس سے پہلے آئی ہوئی کتاب یا علم کا کوئی بقیہ (اِن عقائد کے ثبوت میں) تمہارے پاس ہو تو وہی لے آؤ اگر تم سچے ہو" آخر اُس شخص سے زیادہ بہکا ہوا انسان اور کون ہو گا جو اللہ کو چھوڑ کر اُن کو پکارے جو قیامت تک اسے جواب نہیں دے سکتے بلکہ اِس سے بھی بے خبر ہیں کہ پکارنے والے اُن کو پکار رہے ہیں اور جب تمام انسان جمع کیے جائیں گے اُس وقت وہ اپنے پکارنے والوں کے دشمن اور ان کی عبادت کے منکر ہوں گے

Quran 42:25~26

He is the One Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons ˹their˺ sins. And He knows whatever you do. He responds to those who believe and do good, and increases their reward out of His grace. As for the disbelievers, they will suffer a severe punishment. Quran: 42:25~26 [ash-Shura (The Counsel)]
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat,
وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
“And those who have responded to their lord and established prayer and whose affair is [determined by] consultation among themselves, and from what We have provided them, they spend.” (42:38).
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِی یَقۡبَلُ ٱلتَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَیَعۡفُوا۟ عَنِ ٱلسَّیِّءَاتِ وَیَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ وَیَسۡتَجِیبُ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَیَزِیدُهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦۚ وَٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ شَدِیدࣱ
The Surah emphasizes that the message of the Qur’an is from Allah Who revealed similar messages to other Prophets and Messengers. The religion of Allah has been the same throughout history.
If Allah wanted He would have made all people into one Ummah, but He has given freedom to people to make their own choice by their free will.
Allah will judge all people on the Day of Judgment. In the Surah it is also mentioned that the followers of this message are those who avoid major sins and who manage their affairs with mutual consultation.
وہی ہے جو اپنے بندوں سے توبہ قبول کرتا ہے اور برائیوں سے درگزر کرتا ہے، حالانکہ تم لوگوں کے سب افعال کا اُ سے علم ہے وہ ایمان لانے والوں اور نیک عمل کرنے والوں کی دعا قبول کرتا ہے اور اپنے فضل سے ان کو اور زیادہ دیتا ہے رہے انکار کرنے والے، تو ان کے لیے دردناک سزا ہے
Sections:
Allah revealed His message to His Prophets. The purpose of revelation is to warn people about the Day of Judgment. Had Allah willed, He would have forced all people into one Ummah, but the wrong-does will see the consequences of their deeds.
The judgment is in the hand of Allah. He gave the same religion to all His Prophets. Muslims must invite people to Allah.
Allah deals justly with all people. Allah accepts the repentance. Allah’s mercy is manifest in the universe.
Believers should avoid sins, be patient, work with each other in consultation and practice forgiveness.
The Prophet guides to the right path, the path of Allah.

It was narrated from Nu'man bin Bashir that :the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Indeed the supplication is the worship." Then he recited: "And your Lord said: Invoke Me, I will respond to you.“ Hadees: Ibn Majah 3828 Your Lord has proclaimed, “Call upon Me, I will respond to you. Surely those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, fully humbled.” Quran 40:60

حَدَّثَنَا، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ‏{وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ}‏ وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدۡعُونِیۤ أَسۡتَجِبۡ لَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِی سَیَدۡخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِینَ
There are seven Surahs (al-Mu’min, HaMim al-Sajdah, al-Shura, al-Zukhruf, al-Dukhan, al-Jathiyah, al-Ahqaf) that begin with the word “HaMim”. Thus these seven Surahs are also called “al-Hawamim”. These are Surahs of Da’wah, inviting people to believe in Allah, take advantage of the mercy of Allah. There is solace and comfort in these Surahs for the Believers who were persecuted because of their faith and they are given the good news that the truth will prevail.
´نعمان بن بشیر رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ` رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”بیشک دعا ہی عبادت ہے، پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے یہ آیت تلاوت فرمائی: ”اور تمہارے رب نے کہا: دعا کرو (مجھے پکارو) میں تمہاری دعا قبول کروں گا (سورة الغافر: 60)“۔ تمہارا رب کہتا ہے "مجھے پکارو، میں تمہاری دعائیں قبول کروں گا، جو لوگ گھمنڈ میں آ کر میری عبادت سے منہ موڑتے ہیں، ضرور وہ ذلیل و خوار ہو کر جہنم میں داخل ہوں گے"

Quran 27:62~64

Or ˹ask them (the disbelievers),˺ “Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction, and ˹Who˺ makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god besides Allah? Yet you are hardly mindful!” Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who guides you in the darkness of the land and sea, and sends the winds ushering in His mercy? Is it another god besides Allah? Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺! Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who originates the creation then resurrects it, and gives you provisions from the heavens and the earth? Is it another god besides Allah?” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Show ˹me˺ your proof, if what you say is true.” Quran 27:62~64

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.
کون ہے جو بے قرار کی دعا سنتا ہے جبکہ وہ اُسے پکارے اور کون اس کی تکلیف رفع کرتا ہے؟ اور (کون ہے جو) تمہیں زمین کا خلیفہ بناتا ہے؟ کیا اللہ کے ساتھ کوئی اور خدا بھی (یہ کام کرنے والا) ہے؟ تم لوگ کم ہی سوچتے ہو اور وہ کون ہے جو خشکی اور سمندر کی تاریکیوں میں تم کو راستہ دکھاتا ہے اور کون اپنی رحمت کے آگے ہواؤں کو خوشخبری لے کر بھیجتا ہے؟ کیا اللہ کے ساتھ کوئی دُوسرا خدا بھی (یہ کام کرتا) ہے؟ بہت بالا و برتر ہے اللہ اس شرک سے جو یہ لوگ کرتے ہیں اور کون ہے جو خلق کی ابتدا کرتا اور پھر اس کا اعادہ کرتا ہے؟ اور کون تم کو آسمان اور زمین سے رزق دیتا ہے؟ کیا اللہ کے ساتھ کوئی اور خدا بھی (اِن کاموں میں حصہ دار) ہے؟ کہو کہ لاؤ اپنی دلیل اگر تم سچے ہو
