About commitment and help towards believers and presents interesting topics for those with a high level of faith.
the Forgiver of sin and Accepter of repentance, the Severe in punishment, and Infinite in bounty. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. To Him ˹alone˺ is the final return.
3/ God is who you meet when you are repenting and asking for forgiveness, asking for forgiveness is the first step towards that direction.
None disputes the signs of Allah except the disbelievers, so do not be deceived by their prosperity throughout the land / their movement in the cities.
4/ Don't take heed to things the people look towards.
Those ˹angels˺ who carry the Throne and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, have faith in Him, and seek forgiveness for the believers, ˹praying:˺ “Our Lord! You encompass everything in ˹Your˺ mercy and knowledge. So forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and protect them from the torment of the Hellfire.
Our Lord! Admit them into the Gardens of Eternity which You have promised them, along with the righteous among their parents, spouses, and descendants. You ˹alone˺ are truly the Almighty, All-Wise.
And protect them from ˹the consequences of their˺ evil deeds. For whoever You protect from the evil of their deeds on that Day will have been shown Your mercy. That is ˹truly˺ the ultimate triumph.”
7/ [What the lord does could be set by what the group prays for?], pray for family, spouses and descendants, believers. Don't pray for disbelievers! Ask for forgiveness/stopping for sins you may commit in the future
You can pray for things to happen eg 'may the enemy not be victorious', [this will work unless they have greater blessings strength / karam / more deserving than your request, if so this may become a curse]
Indeed, it will be announced to the disbelievers, “Allah’s contempt for you—as you disbelieved when invited to belief—was far worse than your contempt for one another ˹Today˺.”
10 / Alha has mass hatred. Like the sun of suns he is the mightiest of the mighty
˹They will be told,˺ “˹No!˺ This is because when Allah alone was invoked, you ˹staunchly˺ disbelieved. But when others were associated with Him ˹in worship˺, you ˹readily˺ believed. So ˹Today˺ judgment belongs to Allah ˹alone˺—the Most High, All-Great.”
12 / [If your worship is without Alha in mind it may be useless]
He is the One Who shows you His signs and sends down ˹rain as˺ a provision for you from the sky. ˹But˺ none will be mindful except those who turn ˹to Him˺.
13 / Remember God intesely when your mind/your consuming/seeing/ is with His signs- He directly made it for you.
So call upon Allah with sincere devotion, even to the dismay of the disbelievers.
14 / Don't worry about what disbeleivers will do or say! (They can't even harm you)
˹He is˺ Highly Exalted in rank, Lord of the Throne. He sends down the revelation by His command to whoever He wills of His servants to warn ˹all˺ of the Day of Meeting—
15 / God is worthy of mass respect.
the Day all will appear ˹before Allah˺. Nothing about them will be hidden from Him. ˹He will ask,˺ “Who does all authority belong to this Day? To Allah—the One, the Supreme!
16 / You actually have no authority, be much more humble.
Warn them ˹O Prophet˺ of the approaching Day when the hearts will jump into the throats, suppressing distress. The wrongdoers will have neither a close friend nor intercessor to be heard.
18 / Friends have no power. Enemies have no power.
He knows the treachery of the eyes and whatever is concealed by hearts

A believing man from Pharaoh’s people, who was hiding his faith, argued, “Will you kill a man1 ˹only˺ for saying: ‘My Lord is Allah,’ while he has in fact come to you with clear proofs from your Lord? If he is a liar, it will be to his own loss. But if he is truthful, then you will be afflicted with some of what he is threatening you with. Surely Allah does not guide whoever is a transgressor, a total liar.
28 / Remember to weigh things justly / accurately
Pharaoh ordered, “O Hamân! Build me a high tower so I may reach the pathways
leading up to the heavens and look for the God of Moses, although I am sure he is a liar.” And so Pharaoh’s evil deeds were made so appealing to him that he was hindered from the ˹Right˺ Way. But the plotting of Pharaoh was only in vain.
36 / Remember when your being funny or feeling proud of yourself you may be making a big mistake.
O my people! This worldly life is only ˹a fleeting˺ enjoyment, whereas the Hereafter is truly the home of settlement.
39/ The friendship and delight of believers is elegant
Whoever does an evil deed will only be paid back with its equivalent. And whoever does good, whether male or female, and is a believer, they will enter Paradise, where they will be provided for without limit.
40 / [Try to be aware if you are in heaven or not]
And those in the Fire will cry out to the keepers of Hell,1 “Pray to your Lord to lighten the torment for us ˹even˺ for one day!”
49 / [Even thinking that someone is a disbeliever could be a sin]
So be patient ˹O Prophet˺, ˹for˺ Allah’s promise is certainly true. Seek forgiveness for your shortcomings.1 And glorify the praises of your Lord morning and evening.
53 / [Be aware of your short comings]
Surely those who dispute Allah’s signs—with no proof given to them—have nothing in their hearts but greed for dominance, which they will never attain. So seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He alone is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
56 / Greed for dominance is stupid
The creation of the heavens and the earth is certainly greater than the re-creation of humankind, but most people do not know.
57 / Technology isn't that cool (Though Quran implies technology was created by God too ^eg sail boats)
It is Allah Who made the earth a place of settlement for you and the sky a canopy. He shaped you ˹in the womb˺, perfecting your form. And He has provided you with what is good and lawful. That is Allah—your Lord. So Blessed is Allah, Lord of all worlds.
64 / [Be grateful for the earth, study it (eg Landscapes animals, etc.)]
He is the Ever-Living. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. So call upon Him with sincere devotion, ˹saying,˺ “All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds.”
All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds.
65
He is the One Who created you1 from dust, then from a sperm-drop,2 then ˹developed you into˺ a clinging clot ˹of blood˺,3 then He brings you forth as infants, so that you may reach your prime, and become old—though some of you ˹may˺ die sooner—reaching an appointed time, so perhaps you may understand ˹Allah’s power˺.
67 / Death is a sample/sign of Alha's power
He is the One Who gives life and causes death. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!
68 / [God doesn't get confused, if you want something it might be easily doable - just ask]
˹They will be told,˺ “This ˹punishment˺ is for being prideful on earth and for acting arrogantly.
75 / Don't be proud of something that God created / Don't be proud of anything.
When their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were prideful in whatever ˹worldly˺ knowledge they had, and were ˹ultimately˺ overwhelmed by what they used to ridicule.
83 / Don't be proud of any knowledge you have.
