Summary/Theme of Surah Fuṣṣilat

According to this Surah, the Qur'an cannot be changed by noise and falsehoods. Whether the falsehood comes from the front or makes an indirect attack from behind, it cannot succeed in refuting it.

Lessons Learned from Surah Fuṣṣilat

  1. Destruction of 'Aad and Thamud:

    • The people of 'Aad were destroyed by a severe wind that blew for days. They thought there was no one stronger than them.
    • The people of Thamud were destroyed by a scream.
  2. Testimony on the Day of Judgement:

    • The ears, eyes, and skin of the people of Jahannam will testify against them on the Day of Judgement. They will ask, ‘Why did you testify against us?!’ They will say, ‘The being who has the power to make things speak, made us speak. [We had no choice].’
  3. Distraction Tactics of Disbelievers:

    • The disbelievers would say to each other, ‘Do not listen to this Qur'an, rather, create distractions when it's being recited so that you may overpower its effect.’
  4. Comfort for the Believers:

    • Those who believe and thereafter stay steadfast will be comforted by angels at the time of death and in the Hereafter.
  5. Good Character:

    • Always show good character in dealings. If you do, even the staunchest enemy shall be won over.
  6. Seeking Refuge in Allah:

    • If you feel Shayṭān is trying his work on you, seek refuge in Allah.
  7. Independence of Allah:

    • Allah is not in need of anyone worshipping Him. Despite that, there is no shortage of anyone worshipping Him from His creation.
  8. Personal Accountability:

    • Whoever does good will benefit himself, and whoever does evil will harm himself.
  9. Human Nature and Despondency:

    • Man never tires from asking for good, but when he is afflicted with something, he becomes despondent.
    • When a man is blessed with goodness after hardship by Allah, he thinks of it as his right, and turns to disobedience of Allah.
  10. Turning to Allah in Hardship:

    • When Allah blesses man, he turns away from Allah, yet when he is afflicted with troubles, he turns to Allah in lengthy prayers.
  11. Signs of Allah:

    • Allah will continue to show people signs from within and from afar until the truth becomes clear to them.
