The summary /theme of the Surah Ash-Shu‘ara’:

Chapter 26 is based on the belief that the disbelievers of Makkah refused to acknowledge Muhammad's message of Islam, claiming that the Prophet did not provide evidence to support his claim to prophethood. His message would be mocked and his mission would be disparaged, and he would be branded a poet or a magician.

Lesson learned from Surah Ash-Shu‘ara’:

  1. When we set out in fulfilling the command of Allah's, know that Allah's guides us.  
  2. Some people will just not be willing to take advice on board. That doesn’t mean we give up trying.[1]  
  3. The Prophet ï·º was commanded by Allah's to show mercy to the believers.[2]  
  4. Rely on Allah's, the Being who is always watching over you.
