Quran 60:3~4

Neither your relatives nor children will benefit you on Judgment Day— He will decide between you ˹all˺. For Allah is All-Seeing of what you do. You already have an excellent example in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, “We totally dissociate ourselves from you and ˹shun˺ whatever ˹idols˺ you worship besides Allah. We reject you. The enmity and hatred that has arisen between us and you will last until you believe in Allah alone.” The only exception is when Abraham said to his father, “I will seek forgiveness for you,˹” adding, “ but˺ I cannot protect you from Allah at all.” ˹The believers prayed,˺ “Our Lord! In You we trust. And to You we ˹always˺ turn. And to You is the final return. Quran 60:3~4

لَن تَنفَعَكُمۡ أَرۡحَامُكُمۡ وَلَاۤ أَوۡلَـٰدُكُمۡۚ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ یَفۡصِلُ بَیۡنَكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِیرࣱ قَدۡ كَانَتۡ لَكُمۡ أُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةࣱ فِیۤ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ وَٱلَّذِینَ مَعَهُۥۤ إِذۡ قَالُوا۟ لِقَوۡمِهِمۡ إِنَّا بُرَءَ ٰۤؤُا۟ مِنكُمۡ وَمِمَّا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَفَرۡنَا بِكُمۡ وَبَدَا بَیۡنَنَا وَبَیۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡعَدَ ٰوَةُ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَاۤءُ أَبَدًا حَتَّىٰ تُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَحۡدَهُۥۤ إِلَّا قَوۡلَ إِبۡرَ ٰهِیمَ لِأَبِیهِ لَأَسۡتَغۡفِرَنَّ لَكَ وَمَاۤ أَمۡلِكُ لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَیۡءࣲۖ رَّبَّنَا عَلَیۡكَ تَوَكَّلۡنَا وَإِلَیۡكَ أَنَبۡنَا وَإِلَیۡكَ ٱلۡمَصِیرُ
The Surah deals with the relations of Muslims with non-Muslims. It tells Muslims on the one hand not to take the enemies of Allah as their allies and patrons, but on the other hand it tells them not to consider every non-Muslim as their enemy.
قیامت کے دن نہ تمہارے رشتے ناتے کام آئیں گے اور نہ اولاد۔ اس روز وہی تم میں فیصلہ کرے گا۔ اور جو کچھ تم کرتے ہو خدا اس کو دیکھتا ہے تمہیں ابراہیم اور ان کے رفقاء کی نیک چال چلنی (ضرور) ہے۔ جب انہوں نے اپنی قوم کے لوگوں سے کہا کہ ہم تم سے اور ان (بتوں) سے جن کو تم خدا کے سوا پوجتے ہو بےتعلق ہیں (اور) تمہارے (معبودوں کے کبھی) قائل نہیں (ہوسکتے) اور جب تک تم خدائے واحد اور ایمان نہ لاؤ ہم میں تم میں ہمیشہ کھلم کھلا عداوت اور دشمنی رہے گی۔ ہاں ابراہیمؑ نے اپنے باپ سے یہ (ضرور) کہا کہ میں آپ کے لئے مغفرت مانگوں گا اور خدا کے سامنے آپ کے بارے میں کسی چیز کا کچھ اختیار نہیں رکھتا۔ اے ہمارے پروردگار تجھ ہی پر ہمارا بھروسہ ہے اور تیری ہی طرف ہم رجوع کرتے ہیں اور تیرے ہی حضور میں (ہمیں) لوٹ کر آنا ہے

وَالَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمْرُهُمْ شُورَىٰ بَيْنَهُمْ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

The Surah emphasizes that the message of the Qur’an is from Allah Who revealed similar messages to other Prophets and Messengers. The religion of Allah has been the same throughout history. If Allah wanted He would have made all people into one Ummah, but He has given freedom to people to make their own choice by their free will. Allah will judge all people on the Day of Judgment. In the Surah it is also mentioned that the followers of this message are those who avoid major sins and who manage their affairs with mutual consultation.
Sections:
Allah revealed His message to His Prophets. The purpose of revelation is to warn people about the Day of Judgment. Had Allah willed, He would have forced all people into one Ummah, but the wrong-does will see the consequences of their deeds.
The judgment is in the hand of Allah. He gave the same religion to all His Prophets. Muslims must invite people to Allah.
Allah deals justly with all people. Allah accepts the repentance. Allah’s mercy is manifest in the universe.
Believers should avoid sins, be patient, work with each other in consultation and practice forgiveness.
The Prophet guides to the right path, the path of Allah.

Surah al-Mulk takes its name from the first Ayat, تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ “Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent -” [67:1].
جس نے سات آسمان بنائے ایک کے اوپر دوسرا، تو رحمٰن کے بنانے میں کیا فرق دیکھتا ہے تو نگاہ اٹھا کر دیکھ تجھے کوئی رخنہ نظر آتا ہے، پھر دوبارہ نگاہ اٹھا نظر تیری طرف ناکام پلٹ آئے گی تھکی ماندی

Quran 2:2~5

This is the Book ! There is no doubt about it— a guide for those mindful ˹of Allah˺, who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and donate from what We have provided for them, and who believe in what has been revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ and what was revealed before you, and have sure faith in the Hereafter. It is they who are ˹truly˺ guided by their Lord, and it is they who will be successful.
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)

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 کتاب (قرآن مجید) اس میں کچھ شک نہیں (کہ کلامِ خدا ہے۔ خدا سے) ڈرنے والوں کی رہنما ہے جو غیب پر ایمان لاتے اور آداب کے ساتھ نماز پڑھتے اور جو کچھ ہم نے ان کو عطا فرمایا ہے اس میں سے خرچ کرتے ہیں اور جو کتاب (اے محمدﷺ) تم پر نازل ہوئی اور جو کتابیں تم سے پہلے (پیغمبروں پر) نازل ہوئیں سب پر ایمان لاتے اور آخرت کا یقین رکھتے ہیں یہی لوگ اپنے پروردگار (کی طرف) سے ہدایت پر ہیں اور یہی نجات پانے والے ہیں

Quran 29:2~4

Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test? We certainly tested those before them. And ˹in this way˺ Allah will clearly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars. Or do the evildoers ˹simply˺ think that they will escape Us? How wrong is their judgment ! Quran 29:2~4

أَحَسِبَ ٱلنَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوٓا۟ أَن يَقُولُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ ‎‎ ‏‏وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۖ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا۟ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱلْكَذِبِينَ‎ ‏‏أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا ۚ سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

کیا لوگ یہ خیال کئے ہوئے ہیں کہ صرف یہ کہنے سے کہ ہم ایمان لے آئے چھوڑ دیئے جائیں گے اور اُن کی آزمائش نہیں کی جائے گی اور جو لوگ اُن سے پہلے ہو چکے ہیں ہم نے اُن کو بھی آزمایا تھا (اور ان کو بھی آزمائیں گے) سو خدا اُن کو ضرور معلوم کریں گے جو (اپنے ایمان میں) سچے ہیں اور اُن کو بھی جو جھوٹے ہیں کیا وہ لوگ جو برے کام کرتے ہیں یہ سمجھے ہوئے ہیں کہ یہ ہمارے قابو سے نکل جائیں گے۔ جو خیال یہ کرتے ہیں برا ہے

Quran 27:4~5

As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter: We made their deeds appear good to them, so they wander aimlessly. It is they who will receive the grievous punishment—and in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers. Quran 27:4~5

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَلَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ‎ ‎‏أُو۟لَٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ
Surah Naml is named after ‘the Ant’ mentioned in (27:18). This is the only mention of ‘the Ant’ in the whole of the Qur’an.
There are 93 Ayat in this Surah.
جو لوگ آخرت پر ایمان نہیں رکھتے ہیں ہم نے ان کے اعمال ان کے لئے آرستہ کردیئے ہیں تو وہ سرگرداں ہو رہے ہیں یہی لوگ ہیں جن کے لئے بڑا عذاب ہے اور وہ آخرت میں بھی وہ بہت نقصان اٹھانے والے ہیں
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.
