Quran 77:1~13 (Ayah al-Mursalat)

By those ˹winds˺ sent forth successively, and those blowing violently, and those scattering ˹rainclouds˺ widely! And ˹by˺ those ˹angels˺ fully distinguishing ˹truth from falsehood˺, and those delivering revelation, ending excuses and giving warnings. Surely, what you are promised will come to pass. So when the stars are put out, and the sky is torn apart, and the mountains are blown away, and the messengers’ time ˹to testify˺ comes up—for which Day has all this been set? For the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision! Quran 77:1~13 Surah al-Mursalat (Winds Sent Forth)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا “By those [winds] sent forth in gusts” [77:1].
There are 50 Ayat in this Surah.
وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَـٰتِ عُرۡفࣰا فَٱلۡعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصۡفࣰا وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَ ٰتِ نَشۡرࣰا فَٱلۡفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرۡقࣰا فَٱلۡمُلۡقِیَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فُرِجَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ لِأَیِّ یَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ لِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ‏
In the previous Surah it was mentioned how the Believers receive the moral and spiritual perfection, now in this Surah it is mentioned how the rejecters of the truth have their downfall and are destroyed.
قسم ہے اُن (ہواؤں) کی جو پے در پے بھیجی جاتی ہیں پھر طوفانی رفتار سے چلتی ہیں اور (بادلوں کو) اٹھا کر پھیلاتی ہیں پھر (اُن کو) پھاڑ کر جدا کرتی ہیں پھر (دلوں میں خدا کی) یاد ڈالتی ہیں عذر کے طور پر یا ڈراوے کے طور پر جس چیز کا تم سے وعدہ کیا جا رہا ہے وہ ضرور واقع ہونے والی ہے پھر جب ستارے ماند پڑ جائیں گے اور آسمان پھاڑ دیا جائے گا اور پہاڑ دھنک ڈالے جائیں گے اور رسولوں کی حاضری کا وقت آ پہنچے گا (اس روز وہ چیز واقع ہو جائے گی) کس روز کے لیے یہ کام اٹھا رکھا گیا ہے؟ فیصلے کے روز کے لیے
Its theme is to affirm the Resurrection and Hereafter and to warn the people of the consequences which will ultimately follow the denial and the affirmation of these truths. In the first seven verses, the system of winds has been presented as an evidence of the truth that the Resurrection which is being foretold by the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad must come to pass. The reasoning is that the power of All-Mighty God Who established this wonderful system on the earth, cannot be helpless in bringing about the Resurrection and the express wisdom which underlies this system bears full evidence that the Hereafter must appear, for no act of an All-Wise Creator can be vain and purposeless, and if there was no Hereafter, it would mean that the whole of one’s life was useless and absurd.

Quran 41:41~42

Indeed, those who deny the Reminder after it has come to them (are doomed), for it is truly a mighty Book. It cannot be proven false from any angle. ˹It is˺ a revelation from the ˹One Who is˺ All-Wise, Praiseworthy. Quran 41:41~42 Surah Fussilat (Explained in Detail, Revelations Well Expounded)
The Surah is known as ‘Fussilat’ and ‘Haa Meem as-Sajdah’. There are 54 Ayat in this Surah.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱلذِّكۡرِ لَمَّا جَاۤءَهُمۡۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَكِتَـٰبٌ عَزِیزࣱ لَّا یَأۡتِیهِ ٱلۡبَـٰطِلُ مِنۢ بَیۡنِ یَدَیۡهِ وَلَا مِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦۖ تَنزِیلࣱ مِّنۡ حَكِیمٍ حَمِیدࣲ
The subject matter of this Surah is Da’wah. It invites to the truth, gives warnings to those who reject the truth, and tells us that the appeal to the truth is within our nature. It tells us also that the Believers receive strength from Allah’s revelation. The revelation gives life to those who were spiritually and morally dead at one time.
جن لوگوں نے نصیحت کو نہ مانا جب وہ ان کے پاس آئی۔ اور یہ تو ایک عالی رتبہ کتاب ہے اس پر جھوٹ کا دخل نہ آگے سے ہوسکتا ہے نہ پیچھے سے۔ (اور) دانا (اور) خوبیوں والے (خدا) کی اُتاری ہوئی ہے
The Surah contains both good news and warnings.
Aquellos que negaron el Mensaje cuando les llegó, en verdad, es un libro poderoso. La falsedad no puede acercársele desde antes o desde atrás; es una revelación del Sabio, el Alabado." Quran 41:41~42 The Spanish translation of Quran
Sections:
Invitation to the truth of the Qur’an. The Qur’an is a book that explains everything.
Allah created the heaven and earth. Warnings to those who turn away from Allah.
Those who deny Allah, their own body will witness against them.
The disbelievers’ plan to suppress the message of the Qur’an will fail. Allah gives strength to the Believers.
The best people are those who invite to Allah. The effect of the revelation on the Believers. The signs of Allah.
Allah gives time to people to repent. What good or evil you do is for and against your own selves. The truth will gradually succeed.
Şüphesiz, kendilerine zikir gelince onu inkar edenler (ateşin içine bırakılırlar); oysa o, aziz (şerefi yüksek, üstün) bir Kitap´tır. Batıl, ona önünden de, ardından da gelemez. (Çünkü Kur´an,) Hüküm ve hikmet sahibi, çok övülen (Allah)tan indirilmedir. Quran 41:41~42 The Turkish translation of Quran

Quran 40:1~3

Ḥâ-Mĩm. The revelation of this Book is from Allah— the Almighty, All-Knowing, the Forgiver of sin and Accepter of repentance, the Severe in punishment, and Infinite in bounty. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. To Him ˹alone˺ is the final return. Quran 40:1~3 Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver)
Ghafir (Arabic: غافر, ghāfir; meaning:
“The All-Forgiving”, referring to God), also known as Al-Muʼmin (Arabic: المؤمن, ’al-mu’min; meaning:
The Believer), is the 40th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an, with 85 verses (āyāt).

۞ حمۤ تَنزِیلُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلۡعَلِیمِ غَافِرِ ٱلذَّنۢبِ وَقَابِلِ ٱلتَّوۡبِ شَدِیدِ ٱلۡعِقَابِ ذِی ٱلطَّوۡلِۖ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ إِلَیۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِیرُ
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.
ح م اِس کتاب کا نزول اللہ کی طرف سے ہے جو زبردست ہے، سب کچھ جاننے والا ہے گناہ معاف کرنے والا اور توبہ قبول کرنے والا ہے، سخت سزا دینے والا اور بڑا صاحب فضل ہے کوئی معبود اس کے سوا نہیں، اُسی کی طرف سب کو پلٹنا ہے

Quran 45:33~35

And the evil ˹consequences˺ of their deeds will unfold before them, and they will be overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule. It will be said, “This Day We will neglect you as you neglected the meeting of this Day of yours! Your home will be the Fire, and you will have no helpers. This is because you made a mockery of Allah’s revelations, and were deluded by ˹your˺ worldly life.” So ˹from˺ that Day ˹on˺ they will not be taken out of the Fire, nor will they be allowed to appease ˹their Lord˺. Quran 45:33~35 Surah al-Jathiyah (The Kneeling)
The Surah takes its name with the mention of kneeling in the Ayat,
وَتَرَىٰ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةً ۚكُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تُدْعَىٰ إِلَىٰ كِتَابِهَا الْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
“And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told],
“Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.” (45:28).
There are 37 Ayat in this Surah.

The Surah warns those who deny the Divine truth.
It talks about human arrogance and sinfulness.
The judgment of Allah will cover all the people.
The nations will stand before him in the kneeling condition.
اور ان کے اعمال کی برائیاں ان پر ظاہر ہوجائیں گی اور جس (عذاب) کی وہ ہنسی اُڑاتے تھے وہ ان کو آگھیرے گا اور کہا جائے گا کہ جس طرح تم نے اس دن کے آنے کو بھلا رکھا تھا۔ اسی طرح آج ہم تمہیں بھلا دیں گے اور تمہارا ٹھکانا دوزخ ہے اور کوئی تمہارا مددگار نہیں یہ اس لئے کہ تم نے خدا کی آیتوں کو مخول بنا رکھا تھا اور دنیا کی زندگی نے تم کو دھوکے میں ڈال رکھا تھا۔ سو آج یہ لوگ نہ دوزخ سے نکالے جائیں گے اور نہ ان کی توبہ قبول کی جائے گی

Quran 10:1~2

Alif-Lãm-Ra. These are the verses of the Book, rich in wisdom. Is it astonishing to people that We have sent revelation to a man from among themselves, ˹instructing him,˺ “Warn humanity and give good news to the believers that they will have an honourable status with their Lord.”? Yet the disbelievers said, “Indeed, this ˹man˺ is clearly a magician!” Quran 10:1~2 Surah Yunus (Jonah)
The surah is named after the Prophet Yunus [Jonah] and this is the only surah of the Qur’an to mention the ‘people of Yunus’ –
“Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah?
When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time” (10:98)

Quran 28:59

Your Lord would never destroy a society until He had sent to its capital a messenger, reciting Our revelations to them. Nor would We ever destroy a society unless its people persisted in wrongdoing. Quran 28:59 [Surah Al-Qasas, The Stories]
Surah al-Qasas [The Story] takes it name from being mentioned in [28:25], ‘Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, “Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us.” So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, “Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people.”

This Surah has 88 Ayat.
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ یَبۡعَثَ فِیۤ أُمِّهَا رَسُولࣰا یَتۡلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ءَایَـٰتِنَاۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهۡلِكِی ٱلۡقُرَىٰۤ إِلَّا وَأَهۡلُهَا ظَـٰلِمُونَ

Quran 10:21

Quran 10:17~18

Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His revelations? Indeed, the wicked will never succeed. They worship besides Allah others who can neither harm nor benefit them, and say, “These are our intercessors with Allah.” Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Are you informing Allah of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth? Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!” Quran 10:17~18 [Surah Yunus (Jonah)]

The ˹true˺ believers are only those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, whose faith increases when His revelations are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord. ˹They are˺ those who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.
