Quran 3:16~17

And Allah is All-Seeing of ˹His˺ servants, who pray, “Our Lord! We have believed, so forgive our sins and protect us from the torment of the Fire.” ˹It is they˺ who are patient, sincere, obedient, and charitable, and who pray for forgiveness before dawn. Quran 3:16~17
Al Imran (Arabic: آل عمران, āl ʿimrān; meaning: The Family of Imran) is the third chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with two hundred verses (āyāt).

ٱلَّذِینَ یَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَاۤ إِنَّنَاۤ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقِینَ وَٱلۡقَـٰنِتِینَ وَٱلۡمُنفِقِینَ وَٱلۡمُسۡتَغۡفِرِینَ بِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ
It is named after Ale-Imran ‘the family of Imran’ – Imran being the grandfather of Jesus [Isa], and the father of Mary [Maryam]. Other than this Surah, Imran is not mentioned in the rest of the Qur’an with the exception of Surah 66: at-Tahreem – ‘Maryam daughter of Imran’ [66:12].
Zahra – The Prophet is reported to have called al-Baqarah and Ale-Imran as ‘Zahrawayn’ [Two Lights (of guidance)]
جو خدا سے التجا کرتے ہیں کہ اے پروردگار ہم ایمان لے آئے سو ہم کو ہمارے گناہ معاف فرما اور دوزخ کے عذاب سے محفوظ رکھ یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جو (مشکلات میں) صبر کرتے اور سچ بولتے اور عبادت میں لگے رہتے اور (راہ خدا میں) خرچ کرتے اور اوقات سحر میں گناہوں کی معافی مانگا کرتے ہیں
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.

This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ “The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].” (54:1). Surah al-Qamar is in the 27th Juzz and the word Qamar [moon] appears in the Qur’an 27 times. An interesting observation is that the Moon orbits the Earth every 27 days.

It ends with the good news for the Believers who will be near their Lord in the gardens of bliss.

This Surah is named after our beloved Messenger, Muhammad. His name is mentioned in the following Ayat وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَآمَنُوا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۙ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ “And those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what has been sent down upon Muhammad – and it is the truth from their Lord – He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition.” (47:2)

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱهْتَدَوْا۟ زَادَهُمْ هُدًۭى وَءَاتَىٰهُمْ تَقْوَىٰهُمْ
The title is derived from the direct mentioning of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 47:2. It also has the name of Al-Qitāl (Arabic: القتال), which translates to fighting due to the context of the sura. This sura pertains to a specific conflict that arose from people prohibiting the acceptance and spread of Islam. It refers to the Battle of Badr, where an army was being gathered to attack Medina. The Battle of Badr took place during Ramadan, in year 2 of the Islamic calendar.
اور جو لوگ ہدایت یافتہ ہیں ان کو وہ ہدایت مزید بخشتا اور پرہیزگاری عنایت کرتا ہے
The Surah talks about the real struggle that will take place between the truth and falsehood. In this struggle the truth will be victorious and the falsehood and its supporters will be utterly defeated. The separation will take place between those who believe and those who will deny the truth.
Sections:
Those who believe in Prophet Muhammad their sins are removed and their condition will improve. The opponents of the truth will perish.
Good news for the Believers. The Prophet is asked to pray for the Believers.
The weak hearted and the blind are not able to see the truth.
The real success. Do not be intimidated, stand firm and struggle for the cause of Allah.

Quran 2:16~18

They are the ones who trade guidance for misguidance. But this trade is profitless, and they are not ˹rightly˺ guided. Their example is that of someone who kindles a fire, but when it lights up all around them, Allah takes away their light, leaving them in complete darkness—unable to see. They are ˹wilfully˺ deaf, dumb, and blind, so they will never return ˹to the Right Path˺.
Al-Baqara, alternatively transliterated Al-Baqarah (Arabic: البقرة, ’al-baqarah; lit. “The Heifer” or “The Cow”), is the second and longest chapter (surah) of the Quran. It consists of 286 verses (āyāts)

أُو۟لَٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلضَّلَلَةَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ فَمَا رَبِحَت تِّجَرَتُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ ‎ ‏مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى ٱسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًۭا فَلَمَّآ أَضَآءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهُۥ ذَهَبَ ٱللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِى ظُلُمَتٍۢ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ ‎ ‏صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْىٌۭ فَهُمْ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ
The surah encompasses a variety of topics and contains several commands for Muslims such as enjoining fasting on the believer during the month of Ramadan; forbidding interest or usury (riba); and several famous verses such as The Throne Verse, Al-Baqara 256, and the final two or three verses. The surah addresses a wide variety of topics, including substantial amounts of law, and retells stories of Adam, Ibrahim (Abraham) and Musa (Moses). A major theme is guidance: urging the pagans (Al-Mushrikeen) and the Jews of Medina to embrace Islam, and warning them and the hypocrites (Munafiqun) of the fate God had visited in the past on those who failed to heed his call.
یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جنہوں نے ہدایت چھوڑ کر گمراہی خریدی، تو نہ تو ان کی تجارت ہی نے کچھ نفع دیا اور نہ وہ ہدایت یاب ہی ہوئے ان کی مثال اس شخص کی سی ہے کہ جس نے (شبِ تاریک میں) آگ جلائی۔ جب آگ نے اس کے اردگرد کی چیزیں روشن کیں تو خدا نے ان کی روشنی زائل کر دی اور ان کو اندھیروں میں چھوڑ دیا کہ کچھ نہیں دیکھتے (یہ) بہرے ہیں، گونگے ہیں، اندھے ہیں کہ (کسی طرح سیدھے رستے کی طرف) لوٹ ہی نہیں سکتے

Quran 89:15~20

Now, whenever a human being is tested by their Lord through ˹His˺ generosity and blessings, they boast, “My Lord has ˹deservedly˺ honoured me !” But when He tests them by limiting their provision, they protest, “My Lord has ˹undeservedly˺ humiliated me !” Absolutely not ! In fact, you are not ˹even˺ gracious to the orphan, nor do you urge one another to feed the poor. And you devour ˹others’˺ inheritance greedily, and love wealth fervently.
Surah Al-Fajr (الفجر)
89th Chapter of the Quran

فَأَمَّا ٱلْإِنسَنُ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَأَكْرَمَهُۥ وَنَعَّمَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَكْرَمَنِ ‎ ‏وَأَمَّآ إِذَا مَا ٱبْتَلَىٰهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُۥ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىٓ أَهَنَنِ ‎ ‏كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا تُكْرِمُونَ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ‎ ‏وَلَا تَحَٓضُّونَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ‎ ‏وَتَأْكُلُونَ ٱلتُّرَاثَ أَكْلًۭا لَّمًّۭا ‎ ‏وَتُحِبُّونَ ٱلْمَالَ حُبًّۭا جَمًّۭا

مگر انسان (عجیب مخلوق ہے کہ) جب اس کا پروردگار اس کو آزماتا ہے تو اسے عزت دیتا اور نعمت بخشتا ہے۔ تو کہتا ہے کہ (آہا) میرے پروردگار نے مجھے عزت بخشی اور جب (دوسری طرح) آزماتا ہے کہ اس پر روزی تنگ کر دیتا ہے تو کہتا ہے کہ (ہائے) میرے پروردگار نے مجھے ذلیل کیا نہیں بلکہ تم لوگ یتیم کی خاطر نہیں کرتے اور نہ مسکین کو کھانا کھلانے کی ترغیب دیتے ہو اور میراث کے مال سمیٹ کر کھا جاتے ہو اور مال کو بہت ہی عزیز رکھتے ہو
The surah describes destruction of disbelieving peoples: the Ancient Egyptians, the people of Iram of the Pillars, and Mada’in Saleh. It condemns those who love wealth and look with disdain upon the poor and orphans. Righteous people are promised Paradise – the final verse says “And enter you My Paradise!”.

Quran 51:15~19

Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and springs, ˹joyfully˺ receiving what their Lord will grant them.

No soul can imagine what delights are kept in store for them as a reward for what they used to do. Quran 32:15~17 Surah as-Sajdah (The Prostration)

The Surah discusses some of the doubts and arguments of the non-believers against the principles of Tawhid, Risalah and Akhirah.
It invites human beings to think and reflect on their own selves and on the nature surrounding them.
Every thing points that there is a Wise and Powerful Creator for this universe.
He has not created all this phenomenon in vain. The creation has a purpose.
ہماری آیتوں پر تو وہی لوگ ایمان لاتے ہیں کہ جب اُن کو اُن سے نصیحت کی جاتی ہے تو سجدے میں گرپڑتے اور اپنے پروردگار کی تعریف کے ساتھ تسبیح کرتے ہیں اور غرور نہیں کرتے اُن کے پہلو بچھونوں سے الگ رہتے ہیں (اور) وہ اپنے پروردگار کو خوف اور اُمید سے پکارتے اور جو (مال) ہم نے اُن کو دیا ہے اس میں سے خرچ کرتے ہیں کوئی متنفس نہیں جانتا کہ اُن کے لئے کیسی آنکھوں کی ٹھنڈک چھپا کر رکھی گئی ہے۔ یہ ان اعمال کا صلہ ہے جو وہ کرتے تھے
