Theme - This Surah is a wonderful combination of warning, admonition, education and instruction which have been blended together in a balanced proportion.
- Warning : Disbelievers were warned, "Take advantage of the Prophethood of Muhammad (SWS) because that is the last opportunity which is being given to you. If even now you behave as you have been behaving, you shall meet with a painful torment."
- Admonition : The disbelievers of Makkah had been admonished to take a lesson from the miserable end of the Israelites and other communities and mend their ways within the period of respite given by Allah, which was about to expire. They should, therefore, accept the invitation that was being extended by Muhammad (SWS) and the Quran.
- Education : As regards the education of mankind, it has been impressed that human success or failure, gain or loss, depends upon the right understanding of Tauheed, life-after- death and Prophethood. Accordingly, convincing arguments have been put forward to prove that the Quran is the Book of Allah and its teachings are true and genuine.
- Instruction : Besides these, the Holy Prophet has been instructed to stick firmly to his stand without minding the opposition and difficulties which he was encountering and should never think of making a compromise with unbelief.
- Muhammad’s mystic Night journey from Makkah to Jerusalem
- The fundamental principles of morality and civilization on which the Islamic System of life is meant to be established have been put forward.
