Quran 16:30~32

And ˹when˺ it is said to those mindful ˹of Allah˺, “What has your Lord revealed?” They say, “All the best!” For those who do good in this world, there is goodness. But far better is the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter. How excellent indeed is the home of the righteous: the Gardens of Eternity which they will enter, under which rivers flow. In it they will have whatever they desire. This is how Allah rewards the righteous— those whose souls the angels take while they are virtuous, saying ˹to them˺, “ Peace be upon you! Enter Paradise for what you used to do.” Quran 16:30~32 Surah an-Nahl (The Bee)
The Bee (Arabic: الْنَّحْل; an-naḥl) is the 16th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur’an, with 128 verses (āyāt).

۞ وَقِیلَ لِلَّذِینَ ٱتَّقَوۡا۟ مَاذَاۤ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡۚ قَالُوا۟ خَیۡرࣰاۗ لِّلَّذِینَ أَحۡسَنُوا۟ فِی هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنۡیَا حَسَنَةࣱۚ وَلَدَارُ ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِ خَیۡرࣱۚ وَلَنِعۡمَ دَارُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ جَنَّـٰتُ عَدۡنࣲ یَدۡخُلُونَهَا تَجۡرِی مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُۖ لَهُمۡ فِیهَا مَا یَشَاۤءُونَۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ یَجۡزِی ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِینَ ٱلَّذِینَ تَتَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةُ طَیِّبِینَ یَقُولُونَ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَیۡكُمُ ٱدۡخُلُوا۟ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
The Surah speaks about Allah’s creative power.
Everything in the universe points to Allah.
There is coherence and balance in Allah’s creation.
اور (جب) پرہیزگاروں سے پوچھا جاتا ہے کہ تمہارے پروردگار نے کیا نازل کیا ہے۔ تو کہتے ہیں کہ بہترین (کلام) ۔ جو لوگ نیکوکار ہیں ان کے لیے اس دنیا میں بھلائی ہے۔ اور آخرت کا گھر تو بہت ہی اچھا ہے۔ اور پرہیز گاروں کا گھر بہت خوب ہے (وہ) بہشت جاودانی (ہیں) جن میں وہ داخل ہوں گے ان کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں وہاں جو چاہیں گے ان کے لیے میسر ہوگا۔ خدا پرہیزگاروں کو ایسا ہی بدلہ دیتا ہے (ان کی کیفیت یہ ہے کہ) جب فرشتے ان کی جانیں نکالنے لگتے ہیں اور یہ (کفر وشرک سے) پاک ہوتے ہیں تو سلام علیکم کہتے ہیں (اور کہتے ہیں کہ) جو عمل تم کیا کرتے تھے ان کے بدلے میں بہشت میں داخل ہوجاؤ
It is named after honey bees mentioned in verse 68, and contains a comparison of the industry and adaptability of honey bees with the industry of man.
And your Lord taught the honey bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men’s) habitations; Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought.

Quran 82:13~19

Indeed, the virtuous will be in bliss, and the wicked will be in Hell, burning in it on Judgment Day, and they will have no escape from it. What will make you realize what Judgment Day is?

Quran 82:13~19 Surah al-Infitar (Bursting Apart)

Quran 35:18

No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. And if a sin-burdened soul cries for help with its burden, none of it will be carried— even by a close relative. You ˹O Prophet˺ can only warn those who stand in awe of their Lord without seeing Him and establish prayer. Whoever purifies themselves, they only do so for their own good. And to Allah is the final return. Quran 35:18 Surah Fatir (The Creator)
This Surah takes it name after the first Ayat,
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَىٰ وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ
“[All] praise is [due] to Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, [who] made the angels messengers having wings, two or three or four….” (35:1)

There are 45 Ayat in this Surah.

وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةࣱ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۚ وَإِن تَدۡعُ مُثۡقَلَةٌ إِلَىٰ حِمۡلِهَا لَا یُحۡمَلۡ مِنۡهُ شَیۡءࣱ وَلَوۡ كَانَ ذَا قُرۡبَىٰۤۗ إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ ٱلَّذِینَ یَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلۡغَیۡبِ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَۚ وَمَن تَزَكَّىٰ فَإِنَّمَا یَتَزَكَّىٰ لِنَفۡسِهِۦۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمَصِیرُ
In this Surah Allah warns the non-believers on their negative attitude towards Islam and Prophet Muhammad -peace be upon him. The basic message is also explained to them.
کوئی بوجھ اٹھانے والا کسی دوسرے کا بوجھ نہ اٹھائے گا اور اگر کوئی لدا ہوا نفس اپنا بوجھ اٹھانے کے لیے پکارے گا تو اس کے بار کا ایک ادنیٰ حصہ بھی بٹانے کے لیے کوئی نہ آئے گا چاہے وہ قریب ترین رشتہ دار ہی کیوں نہ ہو (اے نبیؐ) تم صرف انہی لوگوں کو متنبہ کر سکتے ہو جو بے دیکھے اپنے رب سے ڈرتے ہیں اور نماز قائم کرتے ہیں جو شخص بھی پاکیزگی اختیار کرتا ہے اپنی ہی بھلائی کے لیے کرتا ہے اور پلٹنا سب کو اللہ ہی کی طرف ہے

Quran 10:22~23

He is the One Who enables you to travel through land and sea. And it so happens that you are on ships, sailing with a favourable wind, to the passengers’ delight. Suddenly, the ships are overcome by a gale wind and those on board are overwhelmed by waves from every side, and they assume they are doomed. They cry out to Allah ˹alone˺ in sincere devotion, “If You save us from this, we will certainly be grateful.” But as soon as He rescues them, they transgress in the land unjustly. O humanity! Your transgression is only against your own souls. ˹There is only˺ brief enjoyment in this worldly life, then to Us is your return, and then We will inform you of what you used to do. Quran 10:22~23 Surah Yunus (Jonah)
The surah is named after the Prophet Yunus [Jonah] and this is the only surah of the Qur’an to mention the ‘people of Yunus’ –
“Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah?
When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time” (10:98)
There are 109 Ayat in this Surah.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِی یُسَیِّرُكُمۡ فِی ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِۖ حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا كُنتُمۡ فِی ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَجَرَیۡنَ بِهِم بِرِیحࣲ طَیِّبَةࣲ وَفَرِحُوا۟ بِهَا جَاۤءَتۡهَا رِیحٌ عَاصِفࣱ وَجَاۤءَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانࣲ وَظَنُّوۤا۟ أَنَّهُمۡ أُحِیطَ بِهِمۡ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِینَ لَهُ ٱلدِّینَ لَىِٕنۡ أَنجَیۡتَنَا مِنۡ هَـٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِینَ فَلَمَّاۤ أَنجَىٰهُمۡ إِذَا هُمۡ یَبۡغُونَ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَیۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّۗ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَا بَغۡیُكُمۡ عَلَىٰۤ أَنفُسِكُمۖ مَّتَـٰعَ ٱلۡحَیَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡیَاۖ ثُمَّ إِلَیۡنَا مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَنُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
The main subject of this Surah is faith in Allah and belief in the Hereafter.
Those who have true faith, they worship Allah and recognize Him as their Lord and Master and live their lives in accordance to His command.
Allah sent His Messengers to remind people and to warn them.
The stories of Prophets Noah and Prophet Moses with Pharaoh are told to remind people about the consequences of unfaithfulness and arrogance.
وہی تو ہے جو تم کو جنگل اور دریا میں چلنے پھرنے اور سیر کرنے کی توفیق دیتا ہے۔ یہاں تک کہ جب تم کشتیوں میں (سوار) ہوتے اور کشتیاں پاکیزہ ہوا (کے نرم نرم جھونکوں) سے سواروں کو لے کر چلنے لگتی ہیں اور وہ ان سے خوش ہوتے ہیں تو ناگہاں زناٹے کی ہوا چل پڑتی ہے اور لہریں ہر طرف سے ان پر (جوش مارتی ہوئی) آنے لگتی ہیں اور وہ خیال کرتے ہیں کہ (اب تو) لہروں میں گھر گئے تو اس وقت خالص خدا ہی کی عبادت کرکے اس سے دعا مانگنے لگتے ہیں کہ (اے خدا) اگر تو ہم کو اس سے نجات بخشے تو ہم (تیرے) بہت ہی شکر گزار ہوں لیکن جب وہ ان کو نجات دے دیتا ہے تو ملک میں ناحق شرارت کرنے لگتے ہیں۔ لوگو! تمہاری شرارت کا وبال تمہاری ہی جانوں پر ہوگا تم دنیا کی زندگی کے فائدے اُٹھا لو۔ پھر تم کو ہمارے پاس لوٹ کر آنا ہے۔ اس وقت ہم تم کو بتائیں گے جو کچھ تم کیا کرتے تھے

Quran 32:10~12

˹Still˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “When we are disintegrated into the earth, will we really be raised as a new creation?” In fact, they are in denial of the meeting with their Lord. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Your soul will be taken by the Angel of Death, who is in charge of you. Then to your Lord you will ˹all˺ be returned.” If only you could see the wicked hanging their heads ˹in shame˺ before their Lord, ˹crying:˺ “Our Lord ! We have now seen and heard, so send us back and we will do good. We truly have sure faith ˹now˺!”

The Surah discusses some of the doubts and arguments of the non-believers against the principles of Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah.

Quran 21:34~35

We have not granted immortality to any human before you ˹O Prophet˺: so if you die, will they live forever? Every soul will taste death. And We test you ˹O humanity˺ with good and evil as a trial, then to Us you will ˹all˺ be returned. Quran 21;34~35 Surah al-Anbiya` (The Prophets)
This Surah is known as al-Anbiyah [The Prophets] and is not known by any other name. Sixteen Prophets are mentioned in this Surah [directly or indirectly]: Musa, Haroon, Isa, Zakariyyah, Yahyah, Jonah, Ismail, Idris, Dhul Kifl, Ayyub, Sulayman, Lut, Ishaq, Yaqub, Ibrahim and the Prophet Muhammad.

The basic theme of the Surah is Prophets and Prophethood as indicated by the name itself. All Prophets were human beings. They suffered at the hands of their enemies. Allah also tested them, but they always trusted Allah and lived according to His command. They were people of prayers and devotions and Allah listened to their prayers.
اور ہم نے تم سے پہلے کسی آدمی کے لیے دنیا میں ہمیشگی نہ بنائی تو کیا اگر تم انتقال فرماؤ تو یہ ہمیشہ رہیں گے ہر جان کو موت کا مزہ چکھنا ہے، اور ہم تمہاری آزمائش کرتے ہیں برائی اور بھلائی سے جانچنے کو اور ہماری ہی طرف تمہیں لوٹ کر آنا ہے

The creation of human beings as well as the creation of this universe is not a joke.
The creation is a serious work of Allah and so is His word, the Qur’an.
قسم ہے آسمان کی اور رات کو نمودار ہونے والے کی اور تم کیا جانو کہ وہ رات کو نمودار ہونے والا کیا ہے؟ وہ تارا ہے چمکنے والا کوئی جان ایسی نہیں ہے جس کے اوپر کوئی نگہبان نہ ہو
It discuses two themes:
first, that man has to appear before God after death;
second, that the Qur’an is a decisive Word which no plan or device of the disbelievers can defeat or frustrate

Quran 4:79

Whatever benefit comes to you (O people), it is by Allah’s grace; and whatever loss you suffer, it is the result of your own doings. We have sent you, O Muhammad, as a Messenger to mankind. Allah is your All- Sufficient Witness Quran 4:79 Surah an-Nisa (Women)
Surah An-Nisa(النساء)
4th Chapter of the Quran
click the button above to listen to the recitation of this Quranic verse again
مَّاۤ أَصَابَكَ مِنۡ حَسَنَةࣲ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ وَمَاۤ أَصَابَكَ مِن سَیِّئَةࣲ فَمِن نَّفۡسِكَۚ وَأَرۡسَلۡنَـٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُولࣰاۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِیدࣰا
An-Nisa’ (Arabic: ٱلنساء, An-Nisāʾ; meaning: The Women) is the fourth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 176 verses (āyāt).
The title derives from the numerous references to women throughout the chapter, including verse 34 and verses 127-130.
اے انسان! تجھے جو بھلائی بھی حاصل ہوتی ہے اللہ کی عنایت سے ہوتی ہے، اور جو مصیبت تجھ پر آتی ہے وہ تیرے اپنے کسب و عمل کی بدولت ہے اے محمدؐ! ہم نے تم کو لوگوں کے لیے رسول بنا کر بھیجا ہے اوراس پر خدا کی گواہی کافی ہے
Thematically, “an-Nisā” not only addresses concerns about women, but also discusses inheritance, marriage laws, how to deal with children and orphans, legal practices, jihād, relations between Muslim communities and People of the Book, war, and the role of Jesus as a prophet, rather than the son of God as Christians claimed.
Furthermore, in discussing war, this surah encourages the Muslim community to fight for the vulnerable in war, as demonstrated by 4:75:
“Why should you not fight in God’s cause and for those oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, ‘Lord, rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors!
By Your grace, give us a protector and give us a helper!’?”
The surah addresses a multitude of issues faced by the early Muslim community and responds to the challenges the community faced.
