Quran 53:33~42 (Ayah an-Najm)

Have you seen the one who turned away ˹from Islam,˺and ˹initially˺ paid a little ˹for his salvation˺, and then stopped? Does he have the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees ˹the Hereafter˺? Or has he not been informed of what is in the Scripture of Moses, and ˹that of˺ Abraham, who ˹perfectly˺ fulfilled ˹his covenant˺? ˹They state˺ that no soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another, and that each person will only have what they endeavoured towards, and that ˹the outcome of˺ their endeavours will be seen ˹in their record˺, then they will be fully rewarded, and that to your Lord ˹alone˺ is the ultimate return ˹of all things˺. Quran 53:33~42 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.

أَفَرَءَیۡتَ ٱلَّذِی تَوَلَّىٰ وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِیلࣰا وَأَكۡدَىٰۤ أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَیۡبِ فَهُوَ یَرَىٰۤ أَمۡ لَمۡ یُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِی صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ ٱلَّذِی وَفَّىٰۤ أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةࣱ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ وَأَن لَّیۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ وَأَنَّ سَعۡیَهُۥ سَوۡفَ یُرَىٰ ثُمَّ یُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَاۤءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ
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.
بھلا تم نے اس شخص کو دیکھا جس نے منہ پھیر لیا اور تھوڑا سا دیا (پھر) ہاتھ روک لیا کیا اس کے پاس غیب کا علم ہے کہ وہ اس کو دیکھ رہا ہے کیا جو باتیں موسیٰ کے صحیفوں میں ہیں ان کی اس کو خبر نہیں پہنچی اور ابراہیمؑ کی جنہوں نے (حق طاعت ورسالت) پورا کیا یہ کہ کوئی شخص دوسرے (کے گناہ) کا بوجھ نہیں اٹھائے گا اور یہ کہ انسان کو وہی ملتا ہے جس کی وہ کوشش کرتا ہے اور یہ کہ اس کی کوشش دیکھی جائے گی پھر اس کو اس کا پورا پورا بدلا دیا جائے گا اور یہ کہ تمہارے پروردگار ہی کے پاس پہنچنا ہے
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.

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

There is a hadith in Sahih Muslim that states that Muhammad said (Concerning The False Messiah, Al-Masih ad-Dajjal):
“He who amongst you would survive to see him should recite over him the opening verses of Sura Kahf”
— Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Number 7015
اور (عملوں کی) کتاب (کھول کر) رکھی جائے گی تو تم گنہگاروں کو دیکھو گے کہ جو کچھ اس میں (لکھا) ہوگا اس سے ڈر رہے ہوں گے اور کہیں گے ہائے شامت یہ کیسی کتاب ہے کہ نہ چھوٹی بات کو چھوڑتی ہے نہ بڑی کو۔ (کوئی بات بھی نہیں) مگر اسے لکھ رکھا ہے۔ اور جو عمل کئے ہوں گے سب کو حاضر پائیں گے۔ اور تمہارا پروردگار کسی پر ظلم نہیں کرے گا
The Surah answers some questions that the Mushrikin of Makkah posed to the Prophet (saw). The answers came in a very clear way and also challenged them to accept the message of Islam. In this Surah we have the stories of: the People of the Cave, the man who had two gardens and was very proud of himself, Prophet Moses with a special teacher, Dhul-Qarnain a pious ruler. These stories are told to emphasize the value of faith, knowledge and patience and the relativity of time.

Quran 4:110~112

Whoever commits evil or wrongs themselves then seeks Allah’s forgiveness will certainly find Allah All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And whoever commits a sin— it is only to their own loss.

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:

۞ 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
