Quran 3:96~97 (Ayah al-Imran)

Surely the first House ˹of worship˺ established for humanity is the one at Bakkah— a blessed sanctuary and a guide for ˹all˺ people. In it are clear signs and the standing-place of Abraham. Whoever enters it should be safe. Pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by Allah upon whoever is able among the people. And whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of His˺ creation. Quran 3:96~97 Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
Surah al-Mu’minum [The Believers] takes its name after the first Ayat, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ “Certainly will the Believers have succeeded.” [23:1].
This Surah has 118 Ayat.

إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَیۡتࣲ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِی بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكࣰا وَهُدࣰى لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ فِیهِ ءَایَـٰتُۢ بَیِّنَـٰتࣱ مَّقَامُ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَۖ وَمَن دَخَلَهُۥ كَانَ ءَامِنࣰاۗ وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ حِجُّ ٱلۡبَیۡتِ مَنِ ٱسۡتَطَاعَ إِلَیۡهِ سَبِیلࣰاۚ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِیٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ
In this Surah people are invited to accept and follow the Prophet. This is the central theme of the Surah. It speaks about the character of true believers and assures that they will be the real successful people. It draws attention to various stages of human creation, to many other universal signs. Then it takes some of the stories of other prophets and tells us that they also preached the same message.
بے شک سب سے پہلی عبادت گاہ جو انسانوں کے لیے تعمیر ہوئی وہ وہی ہے جو مکہ میں واقع ہے اس کو خیر و برکت دی گئی تھی اور تمام جہان والوں کے لیے مرکز ہدایت بنایا گیا تھا اس میں کھلی ہوئی نشانیاں ہیں، ابراہیمؑ کا مقام عبادت ہے، اوراس کا حال یہ ہے کہ جو اِس میں داخل ہوا مامون ہو گیا لوگوں پر اللہ کا یہ حق ہے کہ جو اس گھر تک پہنچنے کی استطاعت رکھتا ہو وہ اس کا حج کرے، اور جو کوئی اس حکم کی پیروی سے انکار کرے تو اسے معلوم ہو جانا چاہیے کہ اللہ تمام د نیا والوں سے بے نیاز ہے

The Message of Prophet Noah, his people’s response and then the flood.
Generations were raised after Prophet Noah. Many prophets were sent among them. Then came Prophet Moses and Aaron and then came Jesus – peace be upon them all.
All prophets are one Ummah and preached the same religion. Those who are affluent think that they are also the righteous people, but the righteous are only those who do the good deeds.
Everything in the heaven and earth belongs to Allah.
Prophet’s job is to continue presenting the message of Allah.
