Quran 9:128~129

Certainly has come to you a messenger from among yourselves. He is concerned by your suffering, anxious for your well-being, and gracious and merciful to the believers. But if they turn away, then say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. In Him I put my trust. And He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.” QURAN 9:128~129 (Surah at-Taubah, The Repentance)
The name of the surah, at-Taubah is derived from ت و ب and it occurs 87 times in the Quran. Interestingly, this surah has the highest usage of the words derived from ت و ب compared to all other surahs – it is used 17 times.
In Ayat 118, occurs the case of the three companions whom Allah turned to and accepted their tawbah to Him – those who had abstained from joining the Jihad at the Battle of Tabuk.

لَقَدۡ جَاۤءَكُمۡ رَسُولࣱ مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ عَزِیزٌ عَلَیۡهِ مَا عَنِتُّمۡ حَرِیصٌ عَلَیۡكُم بِٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ رَءُوفࣱ رَّحِیمࣱ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡا۟ فَقُلۡ حَسۡبِیَ ٱللَّهُ لَاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ عَلَیۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ
This is the only Sūrah of the Qur’ān to which ‘In the Name of God, Most Gracious Most Merciful’ is not prefixed.
Though the commentators have given different reasons for this, the correct one that which has been given by Imām Razi: namely this is because the Prophet himself did not dictate it at the beginning of the Sūrah.
Therefore the Companions did not prefix it and their successors followed them.
This is a further proof of the fact that utmost care has been taken to keep the Qur’ān intact so that it should remain in its complete and original form.
دیکھو! تم لوگوں کے پاس ایک رسول آیا ہے جو خود تم ہی میں سے ہے، تمہارا نقصان میں پڑنا اس پر شاق ہے، تمہاری فلاح کا وہ حریص ہے، ایمان لانے والوں کے لیے وہ شفیق اور رحیم ہے اب اگر یہ لوگ تم سے منہ پھیرتے ہیں تو اے نبیؐ، ان سے کہدو کہ "میرے لیے الله ہی کافی ہے اس کے سوا اور کوئی معبود نہیں اسی پر میں بھروسہ کرتا ہوں اور وہی عرش عظیم کا مالک ہے"
The basic subjects of the Surah are: The non-believers who broke their treaties, Muslims have no obligation to honor treaties with them. Muslims must protect themselves from hypocrisy, weak faith and negligence. Battle of Tabuk and its lessons.

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]

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 27:22~26

It was not long before the bird came and said, “I have found out something you do not know. I have just come to you from Sheba (saba/سبأ) with sure news. Indeed, I found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything ˹she needs˺, and who has a magnificent throne. I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. For Satan has made their deeds appealing to them— hindering them from the ˹Right˺ Way and leaving them unguided— so they do not prostrate to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you ˹all˺ conceal and what you reveal. ˹He is˺ Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.” Quran 27:22~26 ۩ Ayat-e-Sajda / Prostration Verse

فَمَكَثَ غَيۡرَ بَعِيۡدٍ فَقَالَ اَحَطْتُّ بِمَا لَمۡ تُحِطۡ بِهٖ وَ جِئۡتُكَ مِنۡ سَبَاٍۢ بِنَبَاٍ يَّقِيۡنٍ‏ اِنِّىۡ وَجَدتُّ امۡرَاَةً تَمۡلِكُهُمۡ وَاُوۡتِيَتۡ مِنۡ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ وَّلَهَا عَرۡشٌ عَظِيۡمٌ‏ وَجَدْتُّهَا وَقَوۡمَهَا يَسۡجُدُوۡنَ لِلشَّمۡسِ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ اَعۡمَالَهُمۡ فَصَدَّهُمۡ عَنِ السَّبِيۡلِ فَهُمۡ لَا يَهۡتَدُوۡنَۙ‏ اَلَّا يَسۡجُدُوۡا لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىۡ يُخۡرِجُ الۡخَبۡءَ فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تُخۡفُوۡنَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُوۡنَ‏ اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الۡعَرۡشِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ ۩
The theme of the Surah is divine guidance in history.
Allah sent His Prophets to different people. Some accepted them and were guided,
while others denied them and they saw the consequences of their denial.
The Surah also contrasts between the principles of Tawhid and shirk.
ابھی تھوڑی ہی دیر ہوئی تھی کہ ہُدہُد آ موجود ہوا اور کہنے لگا کہ مجھے ایک ایسی چیز معلوم ہوئی ہے جس کی آپ کو خبر نہیں اور میں آپ کے پاس (شہر) سبا سے ایک سچی خبر لے کر آیا ہوں میں نے ایک عورت دیکھی کہ ان لوگوں پر بادشاہت کرتی ہے اور ہر چیز اسے میسر ہے اور اس کا ایک بڑا تخت ہے میں نے دیکھا کہ وہ اور اس کی قوم خدا کو چھوڑ کر آفتاب کو سجدہ کرتے ہیں اور شیطان نے ان کے اعمال انہیں آراستہ کر دکھائے ہیں اور ان کو رستے سے روک رکھا ہے پس وہ رستے پر نہیں آئے (اور نہیں سمجھتے) کہ خدا کو آسمانوں اور زمین میں چھپی چیزوں کو ظاہر کردیتا اور تمہارے پوشیدہ اور ظاہر اعمال کو جانتا ہے کیوں سجدہ نہ کریں خدا کے سوا کوئی عبادت کے لائق نہیں وہی عرش عظیم کا مالک ہے ۩
