The summary/theme of the surah Al-Ahzab: 

Three important events are discussed in the Surah: the Battle of the Trench (or Al-Ahzab: the Clans), which took place in Shawwal, A. H. 5; the raid on Bani Quraizah, which took place in Dhil-Qa'dah, A. H. 5; and the Holy Prophet's marriage with Hadrat Zainab, which was also contracted there.

Lesson learned from  surah Al-Ahzab: 

  1. Adopt taqwā.  
  2. Rely solely on Allāh.  
  3. Hypocrisy is a grave evil.  
  4. Allāh is oft forgiving and merciful.  
  5. Remember the favours of Allāh by looking back on incidents from the past. 
  6. The á¹¢aḥābah رضي الله عنهم were tested to the limits by Allāh, a test which they passed.  
  7. The hypocrites were the enemy within, and they were always trying to cause disruption.  
  8. Who can save you from Allāh if He decides to inflict you with difficulty, or even decides to shower you with His mercy?  
  9. The best example for us is in the Messenger ï·º

  14. Allāh has more right that you fear Him than fear the people.  
  15. There are āyāt in the Qur’ān wherein Allāh directly rebukes the Prophet ï·º, yet the Prophet ï·º did not conceal these āyāt from us, which proves his truthfulness in his claim to Prophethood and trustworthiness.  
  16. Muḥammad ï·º was the seal of the Prophets; he was the final one.  
  17. Remember Allāh in abundance.  
  18. Ignore the inconveniences and trouble caused by the hypocrites. Rely on Allāh to take care of them.

  21. You should never shy away from the truth.[6]  
  22. Send salutations upon the Prophet ï·º in abundance.  
  23. A modest dress code is a means of protection.[7]  
  24. The knowledge of the Final Hour is only with Allāh.  
  25. The disbelievers will regret not following the Messenger ï·º in the Hereafter.
