Quran 30:25~26 (Ayah ar-Rum)

(Ayah ar-Rum)
This Surah is named after the ‘Romans’ – The word ‘Roman’ is mentioned only in this Surah in the Qur’an.
There are 60 Ayat in this Surah.
وَمِنۡ ءَایَـٰتِهِۦۤ أَن تَقُومَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ بِأَمۡرِهِۦۚ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمۡ دَعۡوَةࣰ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِذَاۤ أَنتُمۡ تَخۡرُجُونَ وَلَهُۥ مَن فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ كُلࣱّ لَّهُۥ قَـٰنِتُونَ
The Surah reminds us that Allah is in control of everything. Those who are short sighted they see only what is apparent but they do not realize that there is a Creator and Master of this whole universe and it is He who is governing everything. Final decision is in Allah’s hand. The Akhirah will take place and the truth will prevail.
اور اُس کی نشانیوں میں سے یہ ہے کہ آسمان اور زمین اس کے حکم سے قائم ہیں پھر جونہی کہ اُس نے تمہیں زمین سے پکارا، بس ایک ہی پکار میں اچانک تم نکل آؤ گے آسمانوں اور زمین میں جو بھی ہیں اُس کے بندے ہیں، سب کے سب اسی کے تابع فرمان ہیں

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 character of the Believers. Various stages of human creation and Allah’s signs in the universe.
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.

Quran 54:9~16 (Ayah al-Qamar)

Before them, the people of Noah denied ˹the truth˺ and rejected Our servant, calling ˹him˺ insane. And he was intimidated. So he cried out to his Lord, “I am helpless, so help ˹me˺!” So We opened the gates of the sky with pouring rain, and caused the earth to burst with springs, so the waters met for a fate already set. We carried him on that ˹Ark made˺ of planks and nails, sailing under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes— a ˹fair˺ punishment on behalf of the one ˹they˺ denied. We certainly left this as a sign. So is there anyone who will be mindful? Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings! Quran 54:9~16 Surah al-Qamar (The Moon)
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat,
اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ
“The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].” (54:1).
Surah al-Qamar is in the 27th Juzz and the word Qamar [moon] appears in the Qur’an 27 times.
An interesting observation is that the Moon orbits the Earth every 27 days.
There are 55 Ayat in this Surah.
۞ كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحࣲ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبۡدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجۡنُونࣱ وَٱزۡدُجِرَ فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥۤ أَنِّی مَغۡلُوبࣱ فَٱنتَصِرۡ فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ أَبۡوَ ٰبَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ بِمَاۤءࣲ مُّنۡهَمِرࣲ وَفَجَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ عُیُونࣰا فَٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡمَاۤءُ عَلَىٰۤ أَمۡرࣲ قَدۡ قُدِرَ وَحَمَلۡنَـٰهُ عَلَىٰ ذَاتِ أَلۡوَ ٰحࣲ وَدُسُرࣲ تَجۡرِی بِأَعۡیُنِنَا جَزَاۤءࣰ لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ وَلَقَد تَّرَكۡنَـٰهَاۤ ءَایَةࣰ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ فَكَیۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِی وَنُذُرِ
The Surah talks about the approaching Day of Judgment. It describes some of the scenes of that Day.
It also tells us that Allah’s judgment may come here and now.
There are references to the flood that came at the time of Prophet Noah, the punishment of the people of ‘Ad, Thamud, People of Prophet Lot, the Pharaoh and his people.
It ends with the good news for the Believers who will be near their Lord in the gardens of bliss.
ان سے پہلے نوحؑ کی قوم نے بھی تکذیب کی تھی تو انہوں نے ہمارے بندے کو جھٹلایا اور کہا کہ دیوانہ ہے اور انہیں ڈانٹا بھی تو انہوں نے اپنے پروردگار سے دعا کی کہ (بار الٓہا) میں (ان کے مقابلے میں) کمزور ہوں تو (ان سے) بدلہ لے پس ہم نے زور کے مینہ سے آسمان کے دہانے کھول دیئے اور زمین میں چشمے جاری کردیئے تو پانی ایک کام کے لئے جو مقدر ہوچکا تھا جمع ہوگیا اور ہم نے نوحؑ کو ایک کشتی پر جو تختوں اور میخوں سے تیار کی گئی تھی سوار کرلیا وہ ہماری آنکھوں کے سامنے چلتی تھی۔ (یہ سب کچھ) اس شخص کے انتقام کے لئے (کیا گیا) جس کو کافر مانتے نہ تھے اور ہم نے اس کو ایک عبرت بنا چھوڑا تو کوئی ہے کہ سوچے سمجھے؟ سو (دیکھ لو کہ) میرا عذاب اور ڈرانا کیسا ہوا؟

Quran 53:50~55 (Ayah an-Najm)

And He destroyed the first ˹people of˺ ’Ȃd, and ˹then˺ Thamûd, sparing no one. And before ˹that He destroyed˺ the people of Noah, who were truly far worse in wrongdoing and transgression. And ˹it was˺ He ˹Who˺ turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down. How overwhelming was what covered ˹them˺! Now, which of your Lord’s favours will you dispute? Quran 53:50~55 Surah an-Najm (The Star)
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ “By the star when it descends,” (53:1).
There are 62 Ayat in this Surah.
وَأَنَّهُۥۤ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَاۤ أَبۡقَىٰ وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ فَبِأَیِّ ءَالَاۤءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
The Surah talks about the eminence of the Prophet (saw) with his Mi’raj and closeness to Allah. It warns the disbelievers about the errors of their attitude towards the Qur’an and the Prophet of Allah. Some of their wrong beliefs in the angels as daughters of God, intercession of the angels etc. are also mentioned.
اور یہ کہ اُسی نے عاد اولیٰ کو ہلاک کیا اور ثمود کو ایسا مٹایا کہ ان میں سے کسی کو باقی نہ چھوڑا اور اُن سے پہلے قوم نوحؑ کو تباہ کیا کیونکہ وہ تھے ہی سخت ظالم و سرکش لوگ اور اوندھی گرنے والی بستیوں کو اٹھا پھینکا پھر چھا دیا اُن پر وہ کچھ جو (تم جانتے ہی ہو کہ) کیا چھا دیا پس اے مخاطب، اپنے رب کی کن کن نعمتوں میں تو شک کرے گا؟"
Sections:
The Mi’raj experience of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). Gods or goddesses of the non-believers are mere conjectures and names without any reality.
The angels are the servants of Allah. No intercession can work against Allah. Allah is most forgiving, but He requires righteousness.
Those who deny the truth they are standing against the power and majesty of Allah.

Quran 26:7~8

Have they failed to look at the earth, ˹to see˺ how many types of fine plants We have caused to grow in it? Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe. Quran 26:7~8 Chapter: ash-Shu`ara` (The Poets)
أَوَ لَمۡ یَرَوۡا۟ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِیهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجࣲ كَرِیمٍ إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَءَایَةࣰۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِینَ
اور کیا انہوں نے کبھی زمین پر نگاہ نہیں ڈالی کہ ہم نے کتنی کثیر مقدار میں ہر طرح کی عمدہ نباتات اس میں پیدا کی ہیں؟ یقیناً اس میں ایک نشانی ہے، مگر ان میں سے اکثر ماننے والے نہیں

حقیقت یہ ہے کہ
اللہ نے مومنوں سے
ان کے نفس اور ان کے مال
جنت کے بدلے خرید لیے ہیں

وہ اللہ کی راہ میں لڑتے
اور مارتے اور مرتے ہیں

ان سے (جنت کا وعدہ)
اللہ کے ذمے ایک پختہ وعدہ ہے
توراۃ اور انجیل اور قرآن میں

اور کون ہے جو اللہ سے بڑھ کر
اپنے عہد کا پورا کرنے والا ہو؟

پس خوشیاں مناؤ اپنے اس سودے پر جو تم نے خدا سے چکا لیا ہے،

یہی سب سے بڑی کامیابی ہے

Quran 34:9 (Surah Saba)

Have they not then seen all that surrounds them of the heavens and the earth? If We willed, We could cause the earth to swallow them up, or cause ˹deadly˺ pieces of the sky to fall upon them. Surely in this is a sign for every servant who turns ˹to Allah˺. Quran 34:9 Surah Saba` (Saba, Sheba)
Surah Saba’ takes its name after the People of Saba’, لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِي مَسْكَنِهِمْ آيَةٌ ۖ جَنَّتَانِ عَن يَمِينٍ وَشِمَالٍ ۖ كُلُوا مِن رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ ۚ بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ “There was for [the tribe of] Saba’ in their dwelling place a sign: two [fields of] gardens on the right and on the left. [They were told], “Eat from the provisions of your Lord and be grateful to Him. A good land [have you], and a forgiving Lord.” (34:15)
There are 54 Ayat in this Surah.

The Surah answers some of the objections raised by the non-believers about Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah. It also speaks about Prophets David and Solomon and the Queen of Sheba to remind people about the consequences of evils as well as righteousness.
کیا اِنہوں نے کبھی اُس آسمان و زمین کو نہیں دیکھا جو اِنہیں آگے اور پیچھے سے گھیرے ہوئے ہے؟ ہم چاہیں تو اِنہیں زمین میں دھسا دیں، یا آسمان کے کچھ ٹکڑے اِن پر گرا دیں در حقیقت اس میں ایک نشانی ہے ہر اُس بندے کے لیے جو خدا کی طرف رجوع کرنے والا ہو

Quran 62:5~7

The example of those who were entrusted with ˹observing˺ the Torah but failed to do so, is that of a donkey carrying books. How evil is the example of those who reject Allah’s signs! For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O Jews! If you claim to be Allah’s chosen ˹people˺ out of all humanity, then wish for death, if what you say is true.” But they will never wish for that because of what their hands have done. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers. Quran 62:5~7 Surah al-Jumu`ah (The Day of Congregation)
Al-Jumuʿah (Arabic: الجمعة, “Friday”) is the 62nd chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 11 verses (āyāt)

مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِینَ حُمِّلُوا۟ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ یَحۡمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡحِمَارِ یَحۡمِلُ أَسۡفَارَۢاۚ بِئۡسَ مَثَلُ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِینَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِءَایَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا یَهۡدِی ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ قُلۡ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ هَادُوۤا۟ إِن زَعَمۡتُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ أَوۡلِیَاۤءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا۟ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ وَلَا یَتَمَنَّوۡنَهُۥۤ أَبَدَۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَیۡدِیهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِیمُۢ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ
The chapter is named al-jumu`ah (“Friday”) because it is the day of assembly, when the community abandons trade, transactions and other diversions in favor of assembling to seek the all-encompassing truth and most beneficent and seek the “bounty of God” exclusively (Verse 9).
This surah is an Al-Musabbihat surah because it begins with the glorification of God.
جن لوگوں کو توراۃ کا حامل بنایا گیا تھا مگر انہوں نے اس کا بار نہ اٹھا یا، اُن کی مثال اُس گدھے کی سی ہے جس پر کتابیں لدی ہوئی ہوں اِس سے بھی زیادہ بری مثال ہے اُن لوگوں کی جنہوں نے اللہ کی آیات کو جھٹلا دیا ہے ایسے ظالموں کو اللہ ہدایت نہیں دیا کرتا اِن سے کہو، "اے لوگو جو یہودی بن گئے ہو، اگر تمہیں یہ گھمنڈ ہے کہ باقی سب لوگوں کو چھوڑ کر بس تم ہی اللہ کے چہیتے ہو تو موت کی تمنا کرو اگر تم اپنے اِس زعم میں سچے ہو" لیکن یہ ہرگز اس کی تمنا نہ کریں گے اپنے کرتوتوں کی وجہ سے جو یہ کر چکے ہیں، اور اللہ اِن ظالموں کو خوب جانتا ہے

Quran 57:17 (Ayah al-Hadid)

Know that Allah revives the earth after its death. We have certainly made the signs clear for you so perhaps you will understand. Quran 57 :17 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.
ٱعۡلَمُوۤا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ یُحۡیِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ قَدۡ بَیَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلۡءَایَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ
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.
جان رکھو کہ خدا ہی زمین کو اس کے مرنے کے بعد زندہ کرتا ہے۔ ہم نے اپنی نشانیاں تم سے کھول کھول کر بیان کردی ہیں تاکہ تم سمجھو
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.
