The theme/ Summary of the Surah Al-Ḥajj: 

Many verses in this Surah are about the Resurrection and its logical reasoning. A considerable part of this Holy Surah discusses the struggles against idolaters and polytheists, as well as warnings against those who ignore the events of the Hereafter, and so on.

Lesson learned from Surah Al-Ḥajj

  1. The Day of Qiyāmah will be full of horrors.  
  2. The blessings of Allāh are so many, we don’t even realize some to be actually blessings.  
  3. Every one of Allāh’s creations is subservient to Him, except the human.  
  4. Whoever revers the symbols of Allāh does so out of the Allāh-consciousness within his heart.[1]  
  5. Shayṭān tried to contaminate the revelation that each prophet received, but Allāh protected them all from it. He will therefore try his utmost to deceive man.  
  6. Those who are taken as gods other than Allāh cannot even create anything that equals a fly, let alone match Him in greater feats.  
  7. According to some scholars, IbrāhÄ«m عليه السلام was the first to give us the name ‘Muslims’.
