The Believers' Trade With Allah
Says Allah has bought the believers' lives and wealth in exchange for Paradise, a promise found in the Torah, Gospel and Qur'an, and lists the qualities of such believers.
Comfort and Instructions for the Prophet
Tells the Prophet ﷺ he was given the seven often-repeated verses and the Qur'an, not to look longingly at disbelievers' enjoyment, to be gentle with believers, declare the message, and worship Allah until death comes.
Prayer Times, Night Prayer and the Healing Qur'an

Those With Knowledge Fall Weeping in Prostration

A Book of Guidance for the Believers
The Qur'an is guidance and good news for believers who pray, give zakah and are certain of the Hereafter. Those who deny the Hereafter wander blindly and will be the greatest losers.
The Spider's Weak House and the Power of Prayer
Those who take protectors other than Allah are like a spider building the weakest house. The Prophet ﷺ is told to recite the Book and pray, since prayer stops immorality and remembering Allah is greater.

Standing in Prayer at Night
Tells the one wrapped in garments to stand in prayer much of the night and recite the Qur'an slowly, because a heavy message is coming. Remember Allah and rely on Him alone.
Allah Makes Night Prayer Easier
Allah knows that the Prophet ﷺ and some believers pray much of the night, and eases it: recite what is easy, since some are sick, traveling, or fighting. Commands prayer, zakah, good loans, and seeking forgiveness.
Be Patient and Remember Your Lord
Tells the Prophet ﷺ that the Qur'an was revealed in stages, so be patient, do not obey sinners, and remember Allah morning, evening, and at night. No one wills except by Allah's will.
The Righteous Among Shades and Springs
Promises the righteous shade, springs, and fruits as a reward. Warns the deniers, who enjoy briefly and refuse to bow in prayer, and asks what message they will believe after this.
Why Do They Not Believe
Swears by the twilight, night, and full moon that people pass through stage after stage. Asks why they do not believe or prostrate when the Qur'an is recited, and promises lasting reward to righteous believers.
Glorify Your Lord and Purify Yourself
Commands glorifying the Most High, who created and guided. Promises the Prophet ﷺ he will not forget except what Allah wills, praises one who purifies himself and prays, and reminds that the Hereafter is better, as in Ibrahim's and Musa's scriptures.
Recite in the Name of Your Lord
Commands reciting in the name of the Lord who created man and taught by the pen. Warns the arrogant man who stops a servant from praying, and says not to obey him but to prostrate and draw near.
