Quran 20:128~130

Is it not yet clear to them how many peoples We destroyed before them, whose ruins they still pass by? Surely in this are signs for people of sound judgment. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ and a term already set, their ˹instant˺ doom would have been inevitable. So be patient ˹O Prophet˺ with what they say. And glorify the praises of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset, and glorify Him in the hours of the night and at both ends of the day, so that you may be pleased ˹with the reward˺. Quran 20:128~130
Surah TaHa takes its name after the disjointed letters from the first Ayat.
It has 135 ayat.

Quran 20:124~127

But whoever turns away from My Reminder will certainly have a miserable life, then We will raise them up blind on the Day of Judgment.” They will cry, “My Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, although I used to see?” Allah will respond, “It is so, just as Our revelations came to you and you neglected them, so Today you are neglected.” This is how We reward whoever transgresses and does not believe in the revelations of their Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting. Quran 20:124~127 Surah Ta Ha

Quran 29:5~7

Whoever hopes for the meeting with Allah, ˹let them know that˺ Allah’s appointed time is sure to come. He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. And whoever strives ˹in Allah’s cause˺, only does so for their own good. Surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of˺ His creation. As for those who believe and do good, We will certainly absolve them of their sins, and reward them according to the best of what they used to do. Quran 29:5~7 (Surah al-’Ankabut)
The Spider (Arabic: العنكبوت, al-‘ankabūt) is the 29th chapter (surah) of the Quran with 69 verses (āyāt).

This Surah reminds the Believers to be strong in their faith and not to give up their faith because of hardship or family pressures. Stories of previous Prophets and their followers are also mentioned here to show that the path of truth is not an easy path. It has trials and hardships.
جو کوئی اللہ سے ملنے کی توقع رکھتا ہو (اُسے معلوم ہونا چاہیے کہ) اللہ کا مقرر کیا ہوا وقت آنے ہی والا ہے، اور اللہ سب کچھ سُنتا اور جانتا ہے جو شخص بھی مجاہدہ کریگا اپنے ہی بھلے کے لیے کرے گا، اللہ یقیناً دنیا جہان والوں سے بے نیاز ہے اور جو لوگ ایمان لائیں گے اور نیک اعمال کریں گے اُن کی برائیاں ہم ان سے دُور کر دیں گے اور انہیں اُن کے بہترین اعمال کی جزا دیں گے

Quran 28:83~84

That ˹eternal˺ Home in the Hereafter We reserve ˹only˺ for those who seek neither tyranny nor corruption on the earth. The ultimate outcome belongs ˹only˺ to the righteous. Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with what is better. And whoever comes with an evil deed, then the evildoers will only be rewarded for what they used to do. Quran 28:83~84 (Surah Al-Qasas)
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.”

Quran 28:76~81

Indeed, Korah (Qaroon)was from the people of Moses, but he behaved arrogantly towards them. We had granted him such treasures that even their keys would burden a group of strong men. ˹Some of˺ his people advised him, “Do not be prideful! Surely Allah does not like the prideful. Rather, seek the ˹reward˺ of the Hereafter by means of what Allah has granted you, without forgetting your share of this world. And be good ˹to others˺ as Allah has been good to you. Do not seek to spread corruption in the land, for Allah certainly does not like the corruptors.” He replied, “I have been granted all this because of some knowledge I have.”
Did he not know that Allah had already destroyed some from the generations before him who were far superior to him in power and greater in accumulating ˹wealth˺? There will be no need for the wicked to be asked about their sins. Then he came out before his people in all his glamour. Those who desired the life of this world wished, “If only we could have something like what Korah has been given. He is truly a man of great fortune!” But those gifted with knowledge said, “Shame on you! Allah’s reward is far better for those who believe and do good. But none will attain this except the steadfast.” Then We caused the earth to swallow him up, along with his home. There was no one to help him against Allah, nor could he even help himself Quran 28:76~81 Surah al_Qasas
Surah al-Qasas [The Story] takes it name from being mentioned in [28:25],

یہ ایک واقعہ ہے کہ قارون موسیٰؑ کی قوم کا ایک شخص تھا، پھر وہ اپنی قوم کے خلاف سرکش ہو گیا اور ہم نے اس کو اتنے خزانے دے رکھے تھے کہ ان کی کنجیاں طاقت ور آدمیوں کی ایک جماعت مشکل سے اُٹھا سکتی تھی ایک دفعہ جب اس کی قوم کے لوگوں نے اُس سے کہا "پھول نہ جا، اللہ پھولنے والوں کو پسند نہیں کرتا جو مال اللہ نے تجھے دیا ہے اس سے آخرت کا گھر بنانے کی فکر کر اور دُنیا میں سے بھی اپنا حصہ فراموش نہ کر احسان کر جس طرح اللہ نے تیرے ساتھ احسان کیا ہے اور زمین میں فساد برپا کرنے کی کوشش نہ کر، اللہ مفسدوں کو پسند نہیں کرتا" تو اُس نے کہا "یہ سب کچھ تو مجھے اُس علم کی بنا پر دیا گیا ہے جو مجھ کو حاصل ہے“
کیا اس کو علم نہ تھا کہ اللہ اس سے پہلے بہت سے ایسے لوگوں کو ہلاک کر چکا ہے جو اس سے زیادہ قوت اور جمعیت رکھتے تھے؟ مجرموں سے تو ان کے گناہ نہیں پوچھے جاتے ایک روز وہ اپنی قوم کے سامنے اپنے پُورے ٹھاٹھ میں نکلا جو لوگ حیات دنیا کے طالب تھے وہ اسے دیکھ کر کہنے لگے "کاش ہمیں بھی وہی کچھ ملتا جو قارون کو دیا گیا ہے، یہ تو بڑا نصیبے والا ہے" مگر جو لوگ علم رکھنے والے تھے وہ کہنے لگے "افسوس تمہارے حال پر، اللہ کا ثواب بہتر ہے اُس شخص کے لیے جو ایمان لائے اور نیک عمل کرے، اور یہ دولت نہیں ملتی مگر صبر کرنے والوں کو" آخر کار ہم نے اسے اور اس کے گھر کو زمین میں دَھنسا دیا پھر کوئی اس کے حامیوں کا گروہ نہ تھا جو اللہ کے مقابلہ میں اس کی مدد کو آتا اور نہ وہ خود اپنی مدد آپ کر سکا

Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with what is better, and they will be secure from the horror on that Day. And whoever comes with an evil deed will be hurled face-first into the Fire. Are you rewarded except for what you used to do? Quran 27:89~90

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.
جو شخص نیکی لےکر آئے گا تو اس کے لئے اس سے بہتر (بدلہ تیار) ہے اور ایسے لوگ (اُس روز) گھبراہٹ سے بےخوف ہوں گے اور جو برائی لے کر آئے گا تو ایسے لوگ اوندھے منہ دوزخ میں ڈال دیئے جائیں گے۔ تم کو تو اُن ہی اعمال کا بدلہ ملے گا جو تم کرتے رہے ہو

Quran 57:18

The men who give in charity and the women who give in charity and set apart for Allah a goodly portion, it will be doubled for them, and their’s is a generous reward. Quran 57:18
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 كَرِیم
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 realise as to Who is addressing them.
بے شک خیرات کرنے والے مرد اور خیرات کرنے والی عورتیں اور جنہوں نے الله کو اچھا قرض دیا ان کے لیے دگنا کیا جائے گا اور انہیں عمدہ بدلہ ملے گا
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.

The Surah speaks about Allah’s creative power. Everything in the universe points to Allah. There is coherence and balance in Allah’s creation.
جو کچھ تمہارے پاس ہے وہ ختم ہو جاتا ہے اور جو خدا کے پاس ہے وہ باقی ہے کہ (کبھی ختم نہیں ہوگا) اور جن لوگوں نے صبر کیا ہم اُن کو ان کے اعمال کا بہت اچھا بدلہ دیں گے جو شخص نیک اعمال کرے گا مرد ہو یا عورت وہ مومن بھی ہوگا تو ہم اس کو (دنیا میں) پاک (اور آرام کی) زندگی سے زندہ رکھیں گے اور (آخرت میں) اُن کے اعمال کا نہایت اچھا صلہ دیں گے
