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.

He has placed into the earth firm mountains, so it does not shake with you, as well as rivers, and pathways so you may find your way. Also by landmarks and stars do people find their way.

The Surah speaks about Allah’s creative power.
Everything in the universe points to Allah.
There is coherence and balance in Allah’s creation.
اُس نے زمین میں پہاڑوں کی میخیں گاڑ دیں تاکہ زمین تم کو لے کر ڈھلک نہ جائے اس نے د ریا جاری کیے اور قدرتی راستے بنائے تاکہ تم ہدایت پاؤ اس نے زمین میں راستہ بتانے والی علامتیں رکھ دیں، اور تاروں سے بھی لوگ ہدایت پاتے ہیں پھر کیا وہ جو پیدا کرتا ہے اور وہ جو کچھ بھی پیدا نہیں کرتے، دونوں یکساں ہیں؟ کیا تم ہوش میں نہیں آتے؟
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 82:1~5

When the sky splits open, and when the stars fall away, and when the seas burst forth, and when the graves spill out, ˹then˺ each soul will know what it has sent forth or left behind. Quran 82:1~5 Surah al-Infitar (Bursting Apart)
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ “When the sky breaks apart” [81:1]

The Surah reminds the human being that Allah has given them a wonderful proportionate shape, but they and the whole universe are totally dependent upon Allah. The creation has a purpose and the Day of Judgment will come.
جب آسمان پھٹ جائے گا اور جب تارے جھڑ پڑیں گے اور جب دریا بہہ (کر ایک دوسرے سے مل) جائیں گے اور جب قبریں اکھیڑ دی جائیں گی تب ہر شخص معلوم کرلے گا کہ اس نے آگے کیا بھیجا تھا اور پیچھے کیا چھوڑا تھا
the central theme of this chapter is the Day of Judgments including the events preceding it and those that will happen within it like the end of the world, fates of the good and evil doers, the recording of deeds as well topics like man’s arrogance and in contrast, God’s Lordship and beneficence.

Quran 81:15~21

I do swear by the receding stars, which travel and hide, and the night as it falls and the day as it breaks ! surely, this is the Word (this Qur’an) of a honorable Messenger (Gabriel from Allah to Muhammad), possessor of mighty power, established (high rank) with the Owner of the Throne (Allah), obeyed (by the angels in the heaven), and trustworthy. Quran 81:15~21 [Surah at-Takwir ] (The Overthrowing, The Cessation)
The Surah takes it name from the first Ayat, إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ “When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]” [81:1]
There are 29 Ayat in this Surah.

فَلَاۤ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ وَٱلَّیۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولࣲ كَرِیمࣲ ذِی قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِی ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِینࣲ مُّطَاعࣲ ثَمَّ أَمِینࣲ
The Surah talks about the end of the world. In a very powerful way, it gives us some of the scenes of the Last Day. All the natural power as well as the human power and authority will come to an end. This is a serious message not the words of a madman. The purpose of this message is to remind people to become morally upright.
پس نہیں، میں قسم کھاتا ہوں پلٹنے اور چھپ جانے والے تاروں کی اور قسم ہے رات کی جب وہ جانے لگے اور قسم ہے صبح کی جب وہ آنے لگے بے شک یہ قرآن ایک معزز رسول کا لایا ہوا ہے جو بڑا طاقتور ہے عرش کے مالک کے نزدیک بڑے رتبہ والا ہے وہاں کا سردار امانت دار ہے
It has two themes: the Hereafter and the institution of Apostleship. In the first six verses the first stage of the Resurrection has been mentioned when the sun will lose its light, the stars will scatter, the mountains will be uprooted and will disperse, the people will become heedless of their dearest possessions, the beasts of the jungle will be dazed and will gather together, and the seas will boil up. Then in the next seven verses, the second stage has been described when the souls will be reunited with the bodies, the records will be laid open, the people will be called to account for their crimes, Heaven and Hell will be brought into full view. After depicting the Hereafter thus, man has been left to ponder his own self and deeds, saying: “Then each man shall himself know what he has brought with him.”
After this the theme of Apostleship has been taken up. In this the people of Makkah have been addressed, as if to say “Whatever Muhammad is presenting before you, is not the bragging of a madman, nor an evil suggestion inspired by Satan, but the word of a noble, exalted and trustworthy messenger sent by God, whom Muhammad has seen with his own eyes in the bright horizon of the clear sky in broad day light. Where then are you going, having turned away from this teaching?”

Quran 22:18

Do you not see that whoever is in the heavens & whoever is on the earth prostrate to Allah, including the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the animals, and many people?

The Surah reminds about the approaching end of the world, need for the firmness of faith to support the truth and to eradicate the evil. It talks about prayers, humbleness and sacrifice, respect of the Ka’bah, the House of Allah, and striving to defend the truth.
کیا تم نے نہیں دیکھا کہ جو (مخلوق) آسمانوں میں ہے اور جو زمین میں ہے اور سورج اور چاند ستارے اور پہاڑ اور درخت اور چار پائے اور بہت سے انسان خدا کو سجدہ کرتے ہیں۔ اور بہت سے ایسے ہیں جن پر عذاب ثابت ہوچکا ہے۔ اور جس شخص کو خدا ذلیل کرے اس کو عزت دینے والا نہیں۔ بےشک خدا جو چاہتا ہے کرتا ہے

Quran 50:6~11

Have they not then looked at the sky above them: how We built it and adorned it ˹with stars˺, leaving it flawless? As for the earth, We spread it out and placed upon it firm mountains, and produced in it every type of pleasant plant— ˹all as˺ an insight and a reminder to every servant who turns ˹to Allah˺. And We send down blessed rain from the sky, bringing forth gardens and grains for harvest, and towering palm trees ˹loaded˺ with clustered fruit,˹as˺ a provision for ˹Our˺ servants. And with this ˹rain˺ We revive a lifeless land. Similar is the emergence ˹from the graves˺. Quran 50:6~11
The Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, ق ۚ وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ
