    The summary/theme of the Surah Az-Zukhruf: \\

    In this Surah forceful and severe criticism has been made of the Quraish and common Arabs' creeds and superstitions of ignorance which persisted, and their stubbornness has been exposed in a firm and effective way, and thus every member of society, who was reasonable.

    Lesson learned from Surah Az-Zukhruf: 

    1. Allah's has made various means of conveyance subservient to us. Had it not been such, we would not be able to benefit fully from them, and always be prone to danger.  
    2. When boarding any conveyance, read the du‘': â€‹Ø³ÙØ¨Ù’حَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ 
    3. 'Pure is the One who has subjugated this for us, and We were not able to have control over it, and of course, towards our Lord we have to return.’  
    4. Generally, women have an intrinsic love for gold, and are unclear in arguments.  
    5. Whoever turns away from the remembrance of Allah's, a Shayá¹­'n is assigned to him who accompanies him and prevents him from seeing the truth, whilst making him believe he is on guidance.  
    6. Do not think of yourself to be better than one who has a physical defect. Fir‘awn thought this about MÅ«s' عليه السلام.  
    7. Friends on the Day of Qiy'mah will be enemies, except those friendships that were based on taqw'.
