وَنَفۡسࣲ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَىٰهَا قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
The Surah tells us that as there is a contrast between sun and moon, night and day, heaven and earth,
so there is also a big difference between good and evil.
اور جان کی اور اس ﴿ذات﴾ کی ﴿قسم ہے﴾ جس نے اسے ٹھیک بنایا پھر اس کو اس کی بدی اور نیکی سمجھائی بے شک وہ کامیاب ہوا جس نے اپنی روح کو پاک کر لیا اوربے شک وہ غارت ہوا جس نے اس کو آلودہ کر لیا

Quran 7:42~43

As for those who believe and do good— We never require of any soul more than what it can afford— it is they who will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever. We will remove whatever bitterness they had in their hearts. Rivers will flow under their feet. And they will say, “Praise be to Allah for guiding us to this. We would have never been guided if Allah had not guided us. The messengers of our Lord had certainly come with the truth.” It will be announced to them, “This is Paradise awarded to you for what you used to do.” Quran 7:42~43
The Surah is named after the story of the men awaiting on the “Elevations” between Paradise and Hell.

وَٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۤ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡجَنَّةِۖ هُمۡ فِیهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِی صُدُورِهِم مِّنۡ غِلࣲّ تَجۡرِی مِن تَحۡتِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُۖ وَقَالُوا۟ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِی هَدَىٰنَا لِهَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهۡتَدِیَ لَوۡلَاۤ أَنۡ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُۖ لَقَدۡ جَاۤءَتۡ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَنُودُوۤا۟ أَن تِلۡكُمُ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُورِثۡتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
The basic theme of this Surah is Risalah, i.e. Allah’s message as it was sent through many messengers. Several Prophets and parts of their stories are mentioned to emphasize Prophets’ mission and their struggle with their people.
The Surah tells us that Allah’s Prophets suffered for the cause of truth.
Their enemies tried to harm them, but then Allah helped his prophets and defeated their enemies.
The Surah emphasizes that the true message must be presented under all circumstances.
After the Prophets it is the duty of the Believers to convey the message of Allah to all people.
اور جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور عمل نیک کرتے رہے اور ہم (عملوں کے لیے) کسی شخص کو اس کی طاقت سے زیادہ تکلیف نہیں دیتے۔ ایسے ہی لوگ اہل بہشت ہیں (کہ) اس میں ہمیشہ رہیں گے اور جو کینے ان کے دلوں میں ہوں گے ہم سب نکال ڈالیں گے۔ ان کے محلوں کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہوں گی اور کہیں گے کہ خدا کا شکر ہے جس نے ہم کو یہاں کا راستہ دکھایا اور اگر خدا ہم کو رستہ نہ دکھاتا تو ہم رستہ نہ پا سکتے۔ بےشک ہمارا پروردگار کے رسول حق بات لے کر آئے تھے اور (اس روز) منادی کر دی جائے گی کہ تم ان اعمال کے صلے میں جو دنیا میں کرتے تھے اس بہشت کے وارث بنا دیئے گئے ہو

Quran 17:13~15

We have bound every human’s destiny to their neck. And on the Day of Judgment We will bring forth to each ˹person˺ a record which they will find laid open. ˹And it will be said,˺ “Read your record. You ˹alone˺ are sufficient this Day to take account of yourself.” Whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. And whoever chooses to stray, it is only to their own loss. No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. And We would never punish ˹a people˺ until We have sent a messenger ˹to warn them˺. Quran 17:13~15

وَكُلَّ إِنسَـٰنٍ أَلۡزَمۡنَـٰهُ طَـٰۤىِٕرَهُۥ فِی عُنُقِهِۦۖ وَنُخۡرِجُ لَهُۥ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ كِتَـٰبࣰا یَلۡقَىٰهُ مَنشُورًا ٱقۡرَأۡ كِتَـٰبَكَ كَفَىٰ بِنَفۡسِكَ ٱلۡیَوۡمَ عَلَیۡكَ حَسِیبࣰا مَّنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا یَهۡتَدِی لِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا یَضِلُّ عَلَیۡهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةࣱ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِینَ حَتَّىٰ نَبۡعَثَ رَسُولࣰا
The word Isra’ refers to the “night journey” of the prophet Muhammad.
This surah is part of a series al-Musabbihat surahs because it begins with the glorification of God.
اور ہم نے ہر انسان کے اعمال کو (بہ صورت کتاب) اس کے گلے میں لٹکا دیا ہے۔ اور قیامت کے روز (وہ) کتاب اسے نکال دکھائیں گے جسے وہ کھلا ہوا دیکھے گا (کہا جائے گا کہ) اپنی کتاب پڑھ لے۔ تو آج اپنا آپ ہی محاسب کافی ہے جو شخص ہدایت اختیار کرتا ہے تو اپنے لئے اختیار کرتا ہے۔ اور جو گمراہ ہوتا ہے گمراہی کا ضرر بھی اسی کو ہوگا۔ اور کوئی شخص کسی دوسرے کا بوجھ نہیں اٹھائے گا۔ اور جب تک ہم پیغمبر نہ بھیج لیں عذاب نہیں دیا کرتے
This surah takes its name from the first verse which, in Islamic tradition, tells the event of the Isra, the transportation of Muhammad during the night from the Great Mosque of Mecca to what is referred to as “the farthest Mosque”.” The exact location is specified in the Qurran in Arabic words أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا [2] but this is commonly taken to Noble Sanctuary (Temple Mount) in Jerusalem. Some scholars disagree about this (see Isra and Mi’raj) lively . While the city of Jerusalem (or al Quds , Al-Aqsa mosque) is mentioned by name anywhere in the Qur’an,[citation needed] The first verse refers to Mohammed being taken from the ‘Masjid ul-harram’ to the ‘Masjid al-Aqsa’:
Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We (God) did bless,- so that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).

But no ! ˹Beware of the day˺ when the soul reaches the collar bone ˹as it leaves˺, and it will be said, “Is there any healer ˹who can save this life˺?” And the dying person realizes it is ˹their˺ time to depart, and ˹then˺ their feet are tied together ˹in a shroud˺. On that day they will be driven to your Lord ˹alone˺. Quran 75:26~30

This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ “I swear by the Day of Resurrection” [75:1].

يَوۡمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفۡسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ مِنۡ خَيۡرٍ مُّحۡضَرًا ۖۚۛ  وَّمَا عَمِلَتۡ مِنۡ سُوۡٓءٍ ۚۛ  تَوَدُّ لَوۡ اَنَّ بَيۡنَهَا وَبَيۡنَهٗۤ اَمَدًاۢ بَعِيۡدًا ‌ؕ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللّٰهُ نَفۡسَهٗ‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ رَءُوۡفٌۢ بِالۡعِبَادِ

Zahra – The Prophet is reported to have called al-Baqarah and Ale-Imran as ‘Zahrawayn’ [Two Lights (of guidance)]
وہ دن آنے والا ہے، جب ہر نفس اپنے کیے کا پھل حاضر پائے گا خواہ اُس نے بھلائی کی ہو یا برائی اس روز آدمی یہ تمنا کرے گا کہ کاش ابھی یہ دن اس سے بہت دور ہوتا! اللہ تمہیں اپنے آپ سے ڈراتا ہے اور وہ اپنے بندوں کا نہایت خیر خواہ ہے
The main topics of this Surah are Tawhid, Prophethood and the truth of the Qur’ an. As Surah al-Baqarah discussed the issues related to Bani Israel, this Surah discusses some issues related to the Christian community and their religious positions. It also discusses the subjects of Hajj, Jihad, Zakat and Riba. It ends, like Surah al-Baqarah, with a profound dua.
