Quran 76:7~12 (Ayah al-Insan)

They (the virtous) ˹are those who˺ fulfil ˹their˺ vows and fear a Day of sweeping horror, and give food—despite their desire for it— to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, ˹(saying in their hearts),˺ “We feed you only for the sake of Allah, seeking neither reward nor thanks from you. We fear from our Lord a horribly distressful Day.” So Allah will deliver them from the horror of that Day, and grant them radiance and joy, and reward them for their perseverance with a Garden ˹in Paradise˺ and ˹garments of˺ silk.. Quran 76:7~12 Surah al-Insan (Man)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, هَلْ أَتَىٰ عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئًا مَّذْكُورًا “Has there [not] come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing [even] mentioned?” [76:1]. There are 31 Ayat in this Surah.
یُوفُونَ بِٱلنَّذۡرِ وَیَخَافُونَ یَوۡمࣰا كَانَ شَرُّهُۥ مُسۡتَطِیرࣰا وَیُطۡعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسۡكِینࣰا وَیَتِیمࣰا وَأَسِیرًا إِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِوَجۡهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِیدُ مِنكُمۡ جَزَاۤءࣰ وَلَا شُكُورًا إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا یَوۡمًا عَبُوسࣰا قَمۡطَرِیرࣰا فَوَقَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَ ٰلِكَ ٱلۡیَوۡمِ وَلَقَّىٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةࣰ وَسُرُورࣰا وَجَزَىٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ جَنَّةࣰ وَحَرِیرࣰا
This Surah speaks about the ways the human being can attain growth and spiritual development. The rewards of the Believers and the character of the Believers are also mentioned.
یہ وہ لوگ ہونگے جو (دنیا میں) نذر پوری کرتے ہیں، اور اُس دن سے ڈرتے ہیں جس کی آفت ہر طرف پھیلی ہوئی ہوگی اور اللہ کی محبت میں مسکین اور یتیم اور قیدی کو کھانا کھلاتے ہیں (اور اُن سے کہتے ہیں کہ) ہم تمہیں صرف اللہ کی خاطر کھلا رہے ہیں، ہم تم سے نہ کوئی بدلہ چاہتے ہیں نہ شکریہ ہمیں تو اپنے رب سے اُس دن کے عذاب کا خوف لاحق ہے جو سخت مصیبت کا انتہائی طویل دن ہوگا پس اللہ تعالیٰ انہیں اُس دن کے شر سے بچا لے گا اور انہیں تازگی اور سرور بخشے گا اور اُن کے صبر کے بدلے میں اُنہیں جنت اور ریشمی لباس عطا کریگا
The theme of this Surah is to inform man of his true position in the world and to tell him that if he understood his true position rightly and adopted the attitude of gratefulness, he would meet with such and such good end and if he adopted the way of disbelief, he would meet with such and such evil ends. In the longer Surahs of the Qur’an this same theme has been presented at length, but a special characteristic of the style of the earliest Surahs revealed at Makkah is that the subjects dealt with at length in the later period, “have been presented in a brief but highly effective way in this period in such concise, elegant sentences as may automatically be preserved in the memory of the hearers.

Quran 9:120 (Ayah at-Taubah)

It was not ˹proper˺ for the people of Medina and the nomadic Arabs around them to avoid marching with the Messenger of Allah or to prefer their own lives above his. That is because whenever they suffer from thirst, fatigue, or hunger in the cause of Allah; or tread on a territory, unnerving the disbelievers; or inflict any loss on an enemy—it is written to their credit as a good deed. Surely Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers. Quran: 9:120 Surah at-Taubah (Repentance)
The name of the surah, at-Taubah is derived from ت و ب and it occurs 87 times in the Quran. Interestingly, this surah has the highest usage of the words derived from ت و ب compared to all other surahs – it is used 17 times.
In Ayat 118, occurs the case of the three companions whom Allah turned to and accepted their tawbah to Him – those who had abstained from joining the Jihad at the Battle of Tabuk.

مَا كَانَ لِأَهۡلِ ٱلۡمَدِینَةِ وَمَنۡ حَوۡلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَعۡرَابِ أَن یَتَخَلَّفُوا۟ عَن رَّسُولِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا یَرۡغَبُوا۟ بِأَنفُسِهِمۡ عَن نَّفۡسِهِۦۚ ذَ ٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ لَا یُصِیبُهُمۡ ظَمَأࣱ وَلَا نَصَبࣱ وَلَا مَخۡمَصَةࣱ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا یَطَءُونَ مَوۡطِئࣰا یَغِیظُ ٱلۡكُفَّارَ وَلَا یَنَالُونَ مِنۡ عَدُوࣲّ نَّیۡلًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُم بِهِۦ عَمَلࣱ صَـٰلِحٌۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یُضِیعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ
This is the only Sūrah of the Qur’ān to which ‘In the Name of God, Most Gracious Most Merciful’ is not prefixed. Though the commentators have given different reasons for this, the correct one that which has been given by Imām Razi: namely this is because the Prophet himself did not dictate it at the beginning of the Sūrah. Therefore the Companions did not prefix it and their successors followed them. This is a further proof of the fact that utmost care has been taken to keep the Qur’ān intact so that it should remain in its complete and original form.
مدینے کے باشندوں اور گرد و نواح کے بدویوں کو یہ ہرگز زبیا نہ تھا کہ اللہ کے رسول کو چھوڑ کر گھر بیٹھ رہتے اور اس کی طرف سے بے پروا ہو کر اپنے اپنے نفس کی فکر میں لگ جاتے اس لیے کہ ایسا کبھی نہ ہوگا کہ اللہ کی راہ میں بھوک پیاس اور جسمانی مشقت کی کوئی تکلیف وہ جھیلیں، اور منکرین حق کو جو راہ ناگوار ہے اُس پر کوئی قدم وہ اٹھائیں، اور کسی دشمن سے (عداوت حق کا) کا کوئی انتقام وہ لیں اور اس کے بدلے ان کے حق میں ایک عمل صالح نہ لکھا جائے یقیناً اللہ کے ہاں محسنوں کا حق الخدمت مارا نہیں جاتا ہے
The basic subjects of the Surah are: The non-believers who broke their treaties, Muslims have no obligation to honor treaties with them. Muslims must protect themselves from hypocrisy, weak faith and negligence. Battle of Tabuk and its lessons.

Hadees: Musnad Ahmed 11133 (Fate of Supplications)

Abu Sa‘īd (R.A.) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "No Muslim invokes Allah with a supplication that does not involve sin or severing ties of kinship, except that Allah (Most High) will grant him one of three things due to it: either His supplication will be answered swiftly, or it is stored for him (as a reward) in the afterlife, or He will avert from him an equivalent amount of harm." They said: in that case we will increase (our supplication). He (ﷺ) said: "Allah is abundant (in bounty).’” Hadees: Musnad Ahmad - 11133

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ” مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو بِدَعْوَةٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا إِثْمٌ، وَلَا قَطِيعَةُ رَحِمٍ، إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ بِهَا إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: إِمَّا أَنْ تُعَجَّلَ لَهُ دَعْوَتُهُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَدَّخِرَهَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا ” قَالُوا: إِذًا نُكْثِرُ، قَالَ: ” اللهُ أَكْثَرُ
حضرت ابوسعید خدری رضی اللہ عنہ مروی ہے کہ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا جو مسلمان کوئی ایسی دعاء کرے جس میں گناہ یا قطع رحمی کا کوئی پہلو نہ ہو، اللہ اسے تین میں سے کوئی ایک چیز ضرور عطاء فرماتے ہیں، یا تو فوراً ہی اس کی دعاء قبول کرلی جاتی ہے، یا آخرت کے لئے ذخیرہ کرلی جاتی ہے، یا اس سے اس جیسی کوئی تکلیف دور کردی جاتی ہے، صحابہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے عرض کیا اس طرح تو پھر ہم بہت کثرت کریں گے؟ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا اللہ اس سے بھی زیادہ کثرت والا ہے

Quran 57:18 (Ayah al-Hadid)

Indeed, those men and women who give in charity and lend to Allah a good loan will have it multiplied for them, and they will have an honourable reward. Quran 57 :18 Surah al-Hadid (The Iron)
This Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَأَنزَلْنَا الْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ “…And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might …” (57:25).
There are 29 Ayat in this Surah.

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُصَّدِّقِینَ وَٱلۡمُصَّدِّقَـٰتِ وَأَقۡرَضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنࣰا یُضَـٰعَفُ لَهُمۡ وَلَهُمۡ أَجۡرࣱ كَرِیمࣱ
The theme of this Surah is to exhort the Muslims to spend in the cause of God. At the most critical juncture of the history of Islam when it was engaged in a life and death struggle against Arab paganism, this Surah was revealed to persuade the Muslim’s to make monetary sacrifices in particular, and to make them realise that Islam did not merely consist in verbal affirmation and some outward practices but its essence and spirit is sincerity towards God and His Religion. The faith of the one who was devoid of this spirit and who regarded his own self and wealth as dearer to himself than God and His Religion, was hollow and therefore of little worth in the sight of God. For this object, first the attributes of God Almighty have been mentioned so that the listeners may fully realize as to Who is addressing them.
جو لوگ خیرات کرنے والے ہیں مرد بھی اورعورتیں بھی اور خدا کو (نیت) نیک (اور خلوص سے) قرض دیتے ہیں ان کو دوچند ادا کیا جائے گا اور ان کے لئے عزت کا صلہ ہے
Sections:
All knowledge and authority belongs to God. Have faith in Allah’s power, make sacrifice and give charity for the cause of truth.
Light and Life are for the Believers. The disbelievers walk in darkness. Warning to those who refuse to acknowledge Allah. Sincere in faith are those who are willing to sacrifice and help the poor and needy..
The life of this world is temporary. Compete with each other in doing good things to receive the eternal reward from Allah. Prophets were sent to establish justice with authority.
References to Prophets Noah, Ibrahim, and Jesus -peace be upon them all. All Prophets preached same message, but some of their followers went into extremes. The Christians thus invented monasticism for themselves. It was not commanded by God. The Believers are asked to have faith and walk in the light of Allah. The final success belongs to the Believers.
