12. We have made the night and the day as two signs⁹. We have erased the sign of the night, while We have made the sign of the day for you to see, so that you may seek bounty from your Lord (Allah), and that you might know the numbering of years and the reckoning (of time). We have explained everything (in detail) with full explanation.

Verset: 13

13. Every man’s destiny We have tied to his neck, and We shall bring out to him the record of his deeds on the Day ofJudgment a book which he will find wide open,

Verset: 14

14. "Read your record (of deeds); your own self is enough as a reckoner over you this Day."

Verset: 15

مَّنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهۡتَدِي لِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبۡعَثَ رَسُولٗا

15. Whoever accepts (God's) Guidance (of Islam), he is only guided for (the benefit of) himself. Whoever goes astray, he only goes astray against it. No bearer of burden will bear the burden of another. We never chastise until We sent a messenger (giving warnings).

Verset: 16

وَإِذَآ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نُّهۡلِكَ قَرۡيَةً أَمَرۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهَا فَفَسَقُواْ فِيهَا فَحَقَّ عَلَيۡهَا ٱلۡقَوۡلُ فَدَمَّرۡنَٰهَا تَدۡمِيرٗا

When We want to destroy a town (for their iniquities), We send Our command (last warning) to those of its people who have lost themselves entirely in the pursuit of pleasures, and (if) they (continue) to act sinfully, the Word (of torment) proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction.

Verset: 17

وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ نُوحٖۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرَۢا بَصِيرٗا

17. How many (sinful) generations did We destroy after Noah. For your Lord (Allah) is Enough as Knowing and Seeing with regard to the sins of His servants.

Verset: 18

مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلۡنَا لَهُۥ فِيهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَن نُّرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ يَصۡلَىٰهَا مَذۡمُومٗا مَّدۡحُورٗا

18. Whoever desires the (passing enjoyment) of this worldly life¹⁰, We hasten to him therein what We please, for whom We want, then We assign to him Gehinnom (Hell); he will enter it detested, disowned.

10. Mohammad, God's messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, "The life of the world is sweet and alluringly lush green. And Allah makes you generations succeeding one another so that He may try you in respect of your deeds. So beware of the beguilements of the world and those of women. For the first temptation of children of Israel was through women".
The wealth and women of this world are favorites of everyone like the fresh fruit which is sweet, delicious and attractive for all. Everyone likes them and is attracted towards them. And of the most liked of this world by men is woman but at the same time they are the most harmful. For the one who inclines towards wealth and women and ignores the Islamic legal orders, is at risk in both this life and the Hereafter; and the one who benefits from them keeping oneself within the boundaries of Islam, would be safe from their ruinous effects.

Verset: 19

وَمَنۡ أَرَادَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعۡيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعۡيُهُم مَّشۡكُورٗا

19. Whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it with its due striving and is a believer; (as for) these, their striving will be appreciated.

Verset: 20

كُلّٗا نُّمِدُّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنۡ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحۡظُورًا

20. To each (group) We aid, these as well as those, out of the generosity of (Allah) your Lord. For the generosity of your Lord (Allah) is not withheld or limited¹¹.

11. Allah gives provision for all in the life of this world without exception.

Verset: 21

ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ أَكۡبَرُ دَرَجَٰتٖ وَأَكۡبَرُ تَفۡضِيلٗا

21. Look how We prefer one above another (in this world), yet the Hereafter life has higher degrees and greater in preference.

Verset: 22

لَّا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَذۡمُومٗا مَّخۡذُولٗا

Verset: 23

۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلۡوَٰلِدَيۡنِ إِحۡسَٰنًاۚ إِمَّا يَبۡلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلۡكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوۡ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفّٖ وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلٗا كَرِيمٗا

23. Your Lord (Allah) has ordained that you worship none but Him, and that you must honor your parents¹². If either or both of them reach old age in your life, say not to them (even) "uff" (or "ugh")¹³ and never rebuke them, rather speak to them noble words.

12. Love for a hurtful parent: Forgive their transgressions. Show mercy. Share the Qur’an with them. Be kind to them. Choose to speak nicely of them. Teach your children to honor and be kind to their grandparents.
13. One is not to show disapproval in their service even as small a word as "uff" or "ugh", let alone what is beyond that. 

Verset: 24

وَٱخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرۡحَمۡهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرٗا

25. Your Lord (Allah) knows best what is in yourselves. If you are righteous, then know, that He is All-Forgiving to those who turn to Him (in repentance and obedience).

Verset: 26

وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلۡمِسۡكِينَ وَٱبۡنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرۡ تَبۡذِيرًا

26. Give the relative his due right, the destitute, and the stranded traveler (stranger and foreigner). And do not be a wasteful spender.

Verset: 44

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبۡعُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفۡقَهُونَ تَسۡبِيحَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورٗا

46. We have placed coverings on their hearts lest they understand it, and deafness in their ears. When you mention your Lord (Allah) alone in the Qur’an (as One Supreme being with no partners) they turn their backs in aversion.

Verset: 47

نَّحۡنُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَسۡتَمِعُونَ بِهِۦٓ إِذۡ يَسۡتَمِعُونَ إِلَيۡكَ وَإِذۡ هُمۡ نَجۡوَىٰٓ إِذۡ يَقُولُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلٗا مَّسۡحُورًا

47. We know best how they listen to it¹⁹ when they listen to you, and when they take counsel secretly, when the unjust say: "You follow none but a man bewitched."

19. The Qur’an, it means that their listening to the Qur’an is interceded with bad intention, to find fault, and is not purely meant to reach an understanding.

Verset: 48

ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلٗا

48. Look how they pose examples to you: thus they have gone astray and cannot find a path (of right guidance).

Verset: 49

وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا وَرُفَٰتًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبۡعُوثُونَ خَلۡقٗا جَدِيدٗا

49. They (the pagans) say (in denial of the Resurrection): "When we are bones and decayed particles (of dust), shall we then be raised up (from the dead), being a new creation?"

Verset: 50

۞ قُلۡ كُونُواْ حِجَارَةً أَوۡ حَدِيدًا

Verset: 104

وَقُلۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ لِبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱسۡكُنُواْ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ جِئۡنَا بِكُمۡ لَفِيفٗا

104. We said to the children of Israel after (it was all over with Pharaoh): "Dwell in the land, and when the promise of the Last Day shall come to pass We shall bring you all together for Judgement."

33. God has sent Prophet Muhammad to set crooked beliefs straight and on the right way, so that people will come to declare their belief that there is no deity other than Allah (God). Through him God will cause blind eyes, deaf ears, and sealed hearts to open. He sent him to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and to bring forth people from darkness to the light, and to comfort all who mourn and to heal hearts by the Qur’an and the Wisdom.

Verset: 106

وَقُرۡءَانٗا فَرَقۡنَٰهُ لِتَقۡرَأَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ عَلَىٰ مُكۡثٖ وَنَزَّلۡنَٰهُ تَنزِيلٗا

Verset: 108

وَيَقُولُونَ سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّنَآ إِن كَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفۡعُولٗا

110. Say (Muhammad): "Call upon Allah or call upon Ar-Rahman (the Most Compassionate); whichever (name) you call upon, He (Allah) has the Best Names." And do not utter your prayer with a raised voice, nor be silent concerning it, but seek a way in between."

Verset: 111

وَقُلِ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمۡ يَتَّخِذۡ وَلَدٗا وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٞ فِي ٱلۡمُلۡكِ وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلِيّٞ مِّنَ ٱلذُّلِّۖ وَكَبِّرۡهُ تَكۡبِيرَۢا

111. Say: "(All) Praise (and Honor) be to Allah only, Who has not taken for Himself a son, and Who has no partner in (His) Dominion, and has no deficiency nor need of any help; and (thus) proclaim His Greatness, magnifying (Him) with every Magnificence.
