The summary/theme of the Surah As-sajdah: 

At the beginning of the Prophet's residence at Makkah, this Surah was revealed. Al-Qur'an is beyond all doubt and is sent to warn those to whom no Warner has yet appeared. Disbelievers will believe on the Day of Judgement, but this belief will serve them no purpose.

Lesson learned from Surah As-sajdah: 

  1. The blessings that lie in wait for us in Jannah are unimaginable.  
  2. The people of Jahannam will want to escape it, but each time they get close they will be thrown back into it.  
  3. A true believer and a transgressor can never be the same.  
  4. The one who is reminded of the āyāt of Allāh and then turns away from them is one of the biggest oppressors.
