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.

  4. All workers should work towards achieving Jannah.  
  5. IbrāhÄ«m عليه السلام used the most obvious and logical arguments when preaching to his people.
