The Moral Lessons
- Faith Is a Personal Choice:
- A person’s righteousness or wickedness is not by their relationship to others but by their own actions and beliefs.
- Family Ties Cannot Save:
- Even being the wife of a prophets did not spare these women from Allah’s punishment because they chose disbelief.
- Individual Accountability:
- On the Day of Judgment, everyone will be judged by their deeds, not by their associations
