In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Our Prophet (PBH), through the very first revelation of the Quran, was ordered:
“Recite in the name of your Fosterer…” (Chapter 96: Verse 1) and the name of his and our Fosterer is Allah (SWT), as is evident from the very first verse of the first chapter of the Quran:
“Praise is due only for Allah (SWT), the Fosterer of the worlds”. (Chapter 1: Verse 1)
In view of this order of Allah (SWT), we should recite/read before starting the recitation or reading of the Holy Quran which is a part of the Quran, occurring at the beginning of 113 out of 114 chapters of the Quran and also as part of Chapter 27: Verse 30 of the Quran. Through Chapter 16: Verse 98, Allah Taala further orders:
“So when you recite/read the Quran, seek the protection of Allah from the accursed devil”.
This means that we are required to pray; (Aoozu Billahi min Ash shaitaanir Rajeem) meaning: “I seek the protection of Allah from the accursed devil”, even before reciting or reading: (Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem)
Shuru Allah ke naam se jo hum per taras kha ker faida pahunchane wala hai

Praise is due only for Allah the Initiator of creation of the skies and the earth, Maker of the angels messengers, possessors of wings (forces) two and three and four, He increases in the creation what He wills, Allah certainly has power over everything.
Angels appear to be conveyers or carriers of the orders of Allah (SWT). They may be beings with wings or in charges of energies Refer to Note (2:30 ) of Explanatory Notes.

That which Allah opens for mankind from (His) mercy, there is no withholder for it, and that which He withholds, there is no releaser for it other than Him, and He is the Mighty the Wise.
No one can stop Allah (SWT) from making anyone happy or sad.
35-3
O mankind! remember the favor of Allah on you. Is there a creator other than Allah who provides you from the sky and the earth? There is no god except Him, then how are you turned away (form the truth)?
No one provides from the sky and the earth except Allah (SWT).
35-4
And if you are denied, then messengers before you were indeed denied, and (all) the affairs are returned to Allah.
Messengers were denied earlier too.
35-5
O mankind! Allah’s promise is certainly true, so do not let the life of this world deceive you and do not let the deceiver (devil) deceive you about Allah.
The devil deceives man and tries to lead him to hell because he is his enemy. Therefore human beings too should treat him as an enemy and avoid him by remembering Allah (SWT) and seeking His protection.

For those who do not believe there is a severe punishment, and those who believe and do righteous works, for them there is protective forgiveness and a great reward. (R 1)
Sinners will face punishment and the pious will get their reward.
35-8
Then , is he to whom the evil of his deed is made fair seeming, so that he sees it (as) good, (like one, who is really good)? So Allah certainly leaves to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. So do not let your soul waste away regretting over them. Allah is certainly the Knower of the work they do.
Prophet Muhammed (PBH) is advised not to regret over the infidels because it is Allah (SWT) who guides or leaves to stray whom He wills.

And it is Allah Who sends the winds, so that they raise the cloud, then We drive it to a dead land and We give life through it to the earth after its death. (your) resurrection will (also) be like that.
Raising of the dead to life is explained through the example of rain through which dead seeds are bought to life.
35-10
Whoever intends to be mighty then (let him know that) the might is totally Allah’s. To Him ascend the good statements and He elevates the righteous work. And those who plan evil deeds, for them there is a severe punishment and the planning of those will be lost.
Might belongs only to Allah (SWT) He rewards the good and punishes the evil.
35-11
And Allah created you from the soil then from the sperm, then He made you pairs, and no female carries or lays down but with His knowledge. And nothing is lengthened in life nor anything is reduced from one’s life, but (the length of life is written) in a record. This is certainly easy for Allah.
Allah (SWT) has fixed the length of everyone’s life 3:145,3:154. He it is Who has made two types of waters, water on landmasses and underground water are normally sweet and pleasant to drink whereas sea and ocean waters are saltish. It is again Allah (SWT) Who makes all heavenly bodies weighing thousands of tones, float and move in space.
35-14
If you call them they will not hear your call, and even if they could hear they will not respond to you, and on the day of resurrection they will reject your (associating them as) partners (with Allah), and none can give you news like the One Informed. (R 2, P 21 ¾)
False gods are so helpless that they can neither hear nor respond
35-15
O Mankind! you are the ones who are in need of Allah while Allah is Independent, the Praised.
Everything including human beings is dependent on Allah (SWT) but He is quite Independent and does not need anyone’s help. He can replace us with others.
35-18
And a bearer of burden will not bear the burden of another (person) and if one heavy with burden calls (someone) for carrying it, none will carry anything of it even though he be a relative. You can warn only those who fear their Fosterer unseen and establish worship (salat). And whoever purifies himself, he purifies himself only for (the benefit of) his own soul and towards Allah is the destination.
Everyone is responsible for his own deeds. If we do good, it is for our own benefit.
35-19
And the blind and the seeing are not equal,
Good and evil are not equal. Those who are in the graves do not hear.
