In the verse "O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, and a bringer of good news and a warner" (Surat al-Ahzab: 45), Allah describes the Prophet (saas) as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. The Prophet (saas) always warned people against the sufferings to be experienced in Hell, and told them of the desirable future that awaited the good in this world, and of the infinite life of the Paradise in the hereafter. Allah reveales this characteristic of the Prophet (saas) in the Qur'an thus:
We have sent you with the Truth, bringing good news and giving warning. Do not ask about the inhabitants of the Blazing Fire. (Surat al-Baqara: 119)
We have sent it down with truth and with truth it has come down. We only sent you to bring good news and to give warning. (Surat al-Isra': 105)
We only sent you for the whole of mankind, bringing good news and giving warning. But most of mankind do not know it. (Surah Saba': 28)
Those who take the Prophet (saas) as a model and abide by his Sunnah must, like him, give people the same glad tidings and warn them. The Prophet (saas) himself described how such people ought to behave:
"Make things easy for the people, and do not make it difficult for them, and make them calm (with glad tidings) and do not repulse (them)."(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Number 146)
Giving welcome news increases believers' enthusiasm and morale, and encourages them to be more determined and persevering in their labors in the way of Allah. Someone who hopes to be rewarded with Paradise will of course have a very different attitude and state of mind than someone who regards those labors as monotonous, or carries them out of habit or a sense of obligation. That is why Allah has commanded His Messenger (saas) to: "Spur on the believers." (Surat an-Nisa': 84)
In another verse, Allah says: "Give good news to the believers that they will receive immense favor from Allah" (Surat al-Ahzab: 47). Every believer who abides by Allah's commandments and the morality of the Prophet (saas) is responsible for giving good news to Muslims, and for encouraging them. It is not proper for a Muslim to speak in a manner that is negative, to make easy tasks appear difficult, and thus, to discourage the faithful, to forget the beautiful things and good news Allah has revealed in the Qur'an, thereby leading the faithful to become pessimistic. What is in conformity with the Qur'an is, like the manner of the Prophet (saas), to recall the good things promised to the faithful by Allah, and to keep to revitalize them.
One such tidings the Prophet (saas) was told to tell people about was Allah's forgiveness of sins:
Say: "My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)
When those who believe in Our Signs come to you, say, "Peace be upon you!" Allah has made mercy incumbent on Himself. If anyone among you does evil out of ignorance and then afterwards repents and puts things right, He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat al-An‘am: 54)
Another tiding is that of Paradise:
Say, "Shall I tell you of something better than that?" Those who do their duty will have Gardens with their Lord, with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, for ever, and purified wives, and the Pleasure of Allah. Allah sees His servants. (Surah Al ‘Imran: 15)

(Chapter 41:5-10)
The Old Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Pharaoh's dreams of seven cows and seven ears.
The New Testament Verses from 1-10 are talking about Jesus' prophecy of wars and earthquakes and the belied in his name.

=========
The Noble Quran:
Chapter 41 in the Noble Quran is composed of 85 verses.
Verses from 5-10 are talking about 1)the unbelievers mocked Muhammad, 2) Allah replied them and commanded Prophet Muhammad to say…, 3) Woe to those…, 4) glad tidings to those… and 5) Allah asks the disbelievers this question…
------------
The unbelievers mocked Muhammad and said: so act, according to your religion for your own god so that we are destroyed; indeed we shall be acting!’, according to our religion for our deities, following our religion, in order to destroy you.
Verse six replied them and commanded Prophet Muhammad to say: I am only a human being like you. It has been revealed to me, The Angel Gabriel was sent to me with the Quran to convey to you that your god is One God and He has no son or partner. So be upright before Him, through faith and obedience, and seek forgiveness from Him and declare His divine Oneness. And woe (severe punishment) to the idolaters and to those who join gods with Allah
Verse seven continued and shows that Woe is also to those who 1) do not pay the alms and charity and do not give the poor-due and 2) are disbelievers in the Hereafter (the deniers of resurrection after death, and Paradise and Hell).
As for those who believe in Muhammad and in the Quran and do acts of obedience between them and their Lord and perform righteous, verse eight gives glad tidings, they shall have an enduring reward that is unceasing.
It is also said that the reward of their works will be registered after they reach old age or die and will be recorded undiminished until the Day of Judgment.
Then, verses nine and ten ask the disbelievers this question:
Say O Muhammad: do you disbelieve in him Who created the earth in two Days) each day the equivalent of 1,000 or 50,000 years of the years which you count: and ascribe to Him associates? (He (and none else) is the Lord of all the Worlds, in other words, the Possessor, of all the Worlds which denotes everything apart from God.
It is Allah Who set (placed, created) firm mountains rising above it as pillars for it, (and blessed it) i.e. the earth with water, trees, vegetation fruits, crops and stock, and ordained, divided, therein its [various means of] sustenance, for human beings and beasts, in four, complete, days — in other words, the ‘setting therein [of mountains]’ together with what has been mentioned in addition [all] took place in four days!
Verse ten indicates that the food created in the earth is sufficient for all the creatures. It follows that any food crisis is man-made!
---------------
The Verses 6-10:
[6] Say (Prophet Muhammad): "I am only a man like you, it is revealed to me by inspiration, that your god is Allah, the One. Therefore stand true to him, and ask for his forgiveness." and woe to those who join gods with Allah,-
[7] Who do not pay charity and disbelieve in the everlasting life and deny the hereafter.
[8] For those who believe and do good works, they shall surely have an enduring reward that is never to be cut off.
[9] Say (O Muhammad, unto the unbelievers): 'do you disbelieve in him who created the earth in two days? And do you set up equals with him? He (and none else) is the lord of all the worlds. '
[10] he set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measure therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in four days, in accordance with (the needs of) those who seek (sustenance).
