The summary/theme of the surah Al-Qasas:

 The revelation of surah Qasas was intended to give the promise of victory to those believers who were a minority before migrating from Mecca to Medina and endured the most difficult conditions at the time of the Prophet.

Lesson learned from surah Al-Qasas:

  1. If Allah's wants something doing, His plans for it are meticulous.  
  2. You cannot give hid'yah (guidance) to whomsoever you love and wish to; it is only Allah's that gives hid'yah.  
  3. Allah's knows what the chests conceal and what they expose.  
  4. If Allah's was to cause persistent daylight, there is no power that can cause nightfall.  
  5. If Allah's was to cause persistent nightfall, there is no power besides Him that can bring daylight.  
  6. Do not become exceedingly happy; Allah's doesn’t like such people.
