Quran 53:50~55 (Ayah an-Najm)

And He destroyed the first ˹people of˺ ’Ȃd, and ˹then˺ Thamûd, sparing no one. And before ˹that He destroyed˺ the people of Noah, who were truly far worse in wrongdoing and transgression. And ˹it was˺ He ˹Who˺ turned the cities ˹of Sodom and Gomorrah˺ upside down. How overwhelming was what covered ˹them˺! Now, which of your Lord’s favours will you dispute? Quran 53:50~55 Surah an-Najm (The Star)
This Surah takes its name from the first Ayat, وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ “By the star when it descends,” (53:1).
There are 62 Ayat in this Surah.
وَأَنَّهُۥۤ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَثَمُودَا۟ فَمَاۤ أَبۡقَىٰ وَقَوۡمَ نُوحࣲ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَةَ أَهۡوَىٰ فَغَشَّىٰهَا مَا غَشَّىٰ فَبِأَیِّ ءَالَاۤءِ رَبِّكَ تَتَمَارَىٰ
The Surah talks about the eminence of the Prophet (saw) with his Mi’raj and closeness to Allah. It warns the disbelievers about the errors of their attitude towards the Qur’an and the Prophet of Allah. Some of their wrong beliefs in the angels as daughters of God, intercession of the angels etc. are also mentioned.
اور یہ کہ اُسی نے عاد اولیٰ کو ہلاک کیا اور ثمود کو ایسا مٹایا کہ ان میں سے کسی کو باقی نہ چھوڑا اور اُن سے پہلے قوم نوحؑ کو تباہ کیا کیونکہ وہ تھے ہی سخت ظالم و سرکش لوگ اور اوندھی گرنے والی بستیوں کو اٹھا پھینکا پھر چھا دیا اُن پر وہ کچھ جو (تم جانتے ہی ہو کہ) کیا چھا دیا پس اے مخاطب، اپنے رب کی کن کن نعمتوں میں تو شک کرے گا؟"
Sections:
The Mi’raj experience of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). Gods or goddesses of the non-believers are mere conjectures and names without any reality.
The angels are the servants of Allah. No intercession can work against Allah. Allah is most forgiving, but He requires righteousness.
Those who deny the truth they are standing against the power and majesty of Allah.

وَلَقَدۡ ذَرَأۡنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِیرࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبࣱ لَّا یَفۡقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡیُنࣱ لَّا یُبۡصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ ءَاذَانࣱ لَّا یَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَاۤۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ كَٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّۚ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰفِلُونَ
Al-A’raf – The Elevations. Allah mentions Paradise and Hellfire and then speaks of the ‘elevations’ between them reserved for some amongst humanity. These people not knowing what will happen to them. The people of Hell-fire will be refused water as it will be prohibited for the disbelievers in the after-life.
اور یہ حقیقت ہے کہ بہت سے جن اور انسان ایسے ہیں جن کو ہم نے جہنم ہی کے لیے پیدا کیا ہے ان کے پاس دل ہیں مگر وہ ان سے سوچتے نہیں ان کے پاس آنکھیں ہیں مگر وہ ان سے دیکھتے نہیں ان کے پاس کان ہیں مگر وہ ان سے سنتے نہیں وہ جانوروں کی طرح ہیں بلکہ ان سے بھی زیادہ گئے گزرے، یہی وہ ہیں جو غفلت میں کھو گئے ہیں
The basic theme of this Surah is Risalah, i.e. Allah’s message as it was sent through many messengers. Several Prophets and parts of their stories are mentioned to emphasize Prophets’ mission and their struggle with their people. The Surah tells us that Allah’s Prophets suffered for the cause of truth. Their enemies tried to harm them, but then Allah helped his prophets and defeated their enemies. The Surah emphasizes that the true message must be presented under all circumstances. After the Prophets it is the duty of the Believers to convey the message of Allah to all people.
