Quran 77:1~13 (Ayah al-Mursalat)

By those ˹winds˺ sent forth successively, and those blowing violently, and those scattering ˹rainclouds˺ widely! And ˹by˺ those ˹angels˺ fully distinguishing ˹truth from falsehood˺, and those delivering revelation, ending excuses and giving warnings. Surely, what you are promised will come to pass. So when the stars are put out, and the sky is torn apart, and the mountains are blown away, and the messengers’ time ˹to testify˺ comes up—for which Day has all this been set? For the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision! Quran 77:1~13 Surah al-Mursalat (Winds Sent Forth)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا “By those [winds] sent forth in gusts” [77:1].
There are 50 Ayat in this Surah.
وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَـٰتِ عُرۡفࣰا فَٱلۡعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصۡفࣰا وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَ ٰتِ نَشۡرࣰا فَٱلۡفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرۡقࣰا فَٱلۡمُلۡقِیَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فُرِجَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ لِأَیِّ یَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ لِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ‏
In the previous Surah it was mentioned how the Believers receive the moral and spiritual perfection, now in this Surah it is mentioned how the rejecters of the truth have their downfall and are destroyed.
قسم ہے اُن (ہواؤں) کی جو پے در پے بھیجی جاتی ہیں پھر طوفانی رفتار سے چلتی ہیں اور (بادلوں کو) اٹھا کر پھیلاتی ہیں پھر (اُن کو) پھاڑ کر جدا کرتی ہیں پھر (دلوں میں خدا کی) یاد ڈالتی ہیں عذر کے طور پر یا ڈراوے کے طور پر جس چیز کا تم سے وعدہ کیا جا رہا ہے وہ ضرور واقع ہونے والی ہے پھر جب ستارے ماند پڑ جائیں گے اور آسمان پھاڑ دیا جائے گا اور پہاڑ دھنک ڈالے جائیں گے اور رسولوں کی حاضری کا وقت آ پہنچے گا (اس روز وہ چیز واقع ہو جائے گی) کس روز کے لیے یہ کام اٹھا رکھا گیا ہے؟ فیصلے کے روز کے لیے
Its theme is to affirm the Resurrection and Hereafter and to warn the people of the consequences which will ultimately follow the denial and the affirmation of these truths. In the first seven verses, the system of winds has been presented as an evidence of the truth that the Resurrection which is being foretold by the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad must come to pass. The reasoning is that the power of All-Mighty God Who established this wonderful system on the earth, cannot be helpless in bringing about the Resurrection and the express wisdom which underlies this system bears full evidence that the Hereafter must appear, for no act of an All-Wise Creator can be vain and purposeless, and if there was no Hereafter, it would mean that the whole of one’s life was useless and absurd.

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)

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

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.

Quran 57:4~5

He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then established Himself on the Throne.

For Allah is All-Seeing of what you do. To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. And to Allah all matters are returned. Quran 57:4~5 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).
