Quran 77:25~27 (Ayah al-Mursalat)

Have We not made the earth a lodging for the living and the dead, and placed upon it towering, firm mountains, and given you fresh water to drink? Quran 77:25~27 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.
أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ كِفَاتًا أَحۡیَاۤءࣰ وَأَمۡوَ ٰتࣰا وَجَعَلۡنَا فِیهَا رَوَ ٰسِیَ شَـٰمِخَـٰتࣲ وَأَسۡقَیۡنَـٰكُم مَّاۤءࣰ فُرَاتࣰا
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.
کیا ہم نے زمین کو سمیٹ کر رکھنے والی نہیں بنایا زندوں کے لیے بھی اور مُردوں کے لیے بھی اور اس میں بلند و بالا پہاڑ جمائے، اور تمہیں میٹھا پانی پلایا؟
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 4:78

Wherever you may be, death will overcome you—even if you were in fortified towers.” When something good befalls them, they say, “This is from Allah,” but when something evil befalls them, they say, “This is from you. [Prophet]” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Both have been destined by Allah.” So what is the matter with these people? They can hardly comprehend anything! Quran 4:78 Surah an-Nisa (Women)
Surah An-Nisa(النساء)

أَیۡنَمَا تَكُونُوا۟ یُدۡرِككُّمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ وَلَوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِی بُرُوجࣲ مُّشَیَّدَةࣲۗ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ حَسَنَةࣱ یَقُولُوا۟ هَـٰذِهِۦ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَیِّئَةࣱ یَقُولُوا۟ هَـٰذِهِۦ مِنۡ عِندِكَۚ قُلۡ كُلࣱّ مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَمَالِ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ لَا یَكَادُونَ یَفۡقَهُونَ حَدِیثࣰا
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 جہاد سے ڈرنے والو) تم کہیں رہو موت تو تمہیں آ کر رہے گی خواہ بڑے بڑے محلوں میں رہو اور ان لوگوں کو اگر کوئی فائدہ پہنچتا ہے تو کہتے ہیں یہ خدا کی طرف سے ہے اور اگر کوئی گزند پہنچتا ہے تو (اے محمدﷺ تم سے) کہتے ہیں کہ یہ گزند آپ کی وجہ سے (ہمیں پہنچا) ہے کہہ دو کہ (رنج وراحت) سب الله ہی کی طرف سے ہے ان لوگوں کو کیا ہوگیا ہے کہ بات بھی نہیں سمجھ سکتے
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.
