In the last section of the surah it is said that the Creator of the heavens and the earth is ALLAH, HE has created everything in pairs. Rush towards ALLAH and continue counseling others as counseling benefits the believers, I have created the Jinns and the human beings only for my Ibadath and their sustenance is my responsibility. Surah at-Tur (Mount Tur) begins In the first section, it is said that the things, on which ALLAH swears in the beginning, are great things and it is said that the disobedient would be thrown into the hell by the Angels with disgrace, while the believers, their followers and children who are righteous would be respectfully welcomed in Paradise. There is mention about the bounties of ALLAH in the Paradise. In the last section of this surah, the Prophet (pbuh) was asked to continue his mission of counseling the people, those who call them as poet or a possessed, let them wait till they see their own consequences. If they have doubt in this Quraan, let them bring at least one recital like this. The tricks and evil designs of the disbelievers will not work. Oh Prophet ! wait until the command of your Lord comes to you and "WE" take every care for you. Surah an-Najm (Star) begins In the first section, it is said that the Prophet (pbuh) does not say anything on his own desire, whatever he says, it is the inspiration sent to him from ALLAH.

In the second section, it is said that only those who would be permitted by ALLAH will have the opportunity to intercession. The idols which are worshipped are false and those who worship them are the ones who devised their names and that was their reach.

In the last section of the surah it is said that in the hereafter no one would carry the burden of others and the man will get only what he strives for.

In the last section of this surah, after mentioning about the Pharaoh, his people and their destruction, it is asked, whether the people who lived before were prosperous and happy or the disbelievers of today? Their force would be scattered and they would run away from the scene and they would be taken to account, as per the promise and it is just the matter of a moment. Whatever one has done, it is safely recorded in the book of deeds. Surah ar-Rahman (the Most Gracious) begins In the first section, it is said that the Most Gracious has taught everyone the Quraan, HE only has created the man and taught him to speak. There is mention about more of HIS bounties, but the bounty of the Holy Quraan and its teaching is mentioned before all other gifts in preference. The bounties of this world and the hereafter and the bounties in the Paradise are beautifully described, and after the mention of every favour it is repeatedly asked; "Then which of the favours of your Lord would you deny?" This is repeated thirty one times in the surah. The moon, the stars, the trees, the mountains, every thing obey HIM, HE has set up the scale and ordained people not to play tricks in weights and measures, what a good number of things HE has given to you for eating and drinking. "Then Oh Jinns and human beings, which of the favours of your Lord would you deny?

In the last section there is mention about the favours and the bounties of ALLAH in the Paradise and after the mention of each of these gifts it is asked "Then, Oh Jinns and human beings which of the favours of your Lord would deny?" The true inheritors of these bounties are those who fear ALLAH. Surah al-Waqiah (the inevitable Event) begins In the first section, it is said that when the doomsday comes no one will be able to cast it off or avoid it, and the Qiyamah will bring down some and will raise some others up and when the Qiyamah comes, the people will be divided into three groups. One group which will be given the book of deeds in the right hand, the second group will get the book of deeds in the left hand. The third group would be those who have been the forerunners in the race for good deeds and they would be enjoying the bounties of ALLAH in the Paradise and nearness to HIM and the pleasures of the Paradise are explained here. In the second section it is said that those who would get their book of deeds in their left hand would be in bad and miserable condition, the the terrific condition of the hell is illustrated here and the proof of the life after death is explained with examples. In the last section of the surah it is said that this Quraan is miraculous in many respects and it is preserved in the Original source and only those who are clan can touch it. This is revealed by the Lord of the Universe, don't take it in light esteem, and the consequence of good and bad could be found in this. Surah al-Hadeed (the iron) begins In the first section it is said that all the creations in the heavens and the earth glorify ALLAH and HE is Powerful and the Most Wise. HIS Kingdom prevails in the heavens and on the earth, life and death is in HIS Command, HE controls Power over every thing. HE is the First, HE is the Last, HE is the Manifest in the evident and in the Hidden and HE has the Knowledge of every thing. HIS Kingdom extends from HIS Throne in the heavens and beneath the earth. Every thing that exists is the clear proof of HIS Existence and Power. So believe in ALLAH and have faith in HIS Messenger and spend in their cause and for their sake. Those who have spent whatever they had before the conquest of Makkah and participated in the jihad, none of you can be equal to them, whatever you spend it is for your own good. In the second section it is said that this will help you in the darkness of the Aakhirah to illuminate your path. The believers, men and women, will be moving ahead with their belief and good deeds as their beacon lights before them and on their right. The hypocrites men and women would be groping in the darkness and there would be a separating wall between them, on one side it is the showering of ALLAH's Mercy and on the other side painful torment all around. Those in the torment would wish, they could be relieved by giving some kind of ransom, but it would not happen. Taking heed and a lesson is possible only in this world and the merit of spending in the way of ALLAH is explained. In the third section it is said that the life of this world, its decoration and power, the wealth and the children all are sources of deception and amusement, but the real life is the life of the hereafter. There is announcement of forgiveness from the Lord. Rush towards the Paradise, whatever misfortune that comes to you, is what was decreed before and whatever has skipped, you don't get despair nor take pride. Exult over what comes to you, ALLAH does not like vainglorious boasters. In the last section of this surah there is mention about Nooh (AS), Ibrahim (AS) and Eesa bin Mariam (AS) and it is said that ALLAH had never shown the way of monasticism, be steadfast in faith, and fear ALLAH HE will bestow HIS Mercy upon you more and more.
