The summary/theme of the Surah Ar-Ra'd,: 

The main theme of this Surah is that the Message of Allah is the Truth. People should not reject it. The arguments in the whole Surah revolve around this theme, and the Message's three core components, Tawhid (God is One), Risalat (Prophethood), and Resurrection, are repeated over and over.

Lesson learned from Surah Ar-Ra'd,: 

  1. Allah's knows the unseen and the seen.  
  2. Allah's does not change the state of a people unless they change what is within them.  
  3. Only through the remembrance of Allah's do hearts find contentment.  
  4. Despite presenting numerous irrefutable proofs of prophethood, ultimately the Prophet ﷺ was told to say, if you do not believe, Allah's is enough as witness between me and you. There comes a time when presenting proofs and evidences have no effect. At that point, one’s faith should be resorted to.
