The summary/theme of the Surah As-Saffat 

During the middle Makkan period, as the Prophet and his Companions were going through very difficult and discouraging circumstances, this Surah was revealed. The exalted assembly of angels is not accessible to the Shaitans, as Allah Himself proves your God is one.

Lesson learned from Surah As-Saffat 

  1. Allāh decorated the sky with stars.  
  2. He also protected revelation from the eavesdropping Shayāṭīn  
  3. The people of Jannah will be able to ask Allāh about their accomplices in the world that they shall not see in Jannah, and Allāh will show them their abode in Jahannam, upon which they shall thank Allāh.  
  4. All workers should work towards achieving Jannah.  
  5. Ibrāhīm عليه السلام used the most obvious and logical arguments when preaching to his people.  
  6. To have support from your close ones in fulfilling the duties of Allāh is a great blessing.  
  7. Allāh repeatedly tested Ibrāhīm عليه السلام to the limit on his submission to Him, and he passed the test on each occasion.  
  8. Don’t ever make claims without proof.
