end of ahzab surah mentioning of Moses

at the end of Ahzab surah mentioning Moses maybe to show the universal value of the surah as he is also one of the prophets that marriage life was introduced through Quran.
The Verse at the End of Al-Ahzab

“O you who have believed, do not be like those who abused Moses; then Allah cleared him of what they said. And he, in the sight of Allah, was distinguished.” (33:69)

The surah closes with a series of verses (69-71) that instruct believers not to harm the Messenger of Allah, to be conscious of God, and to speak just words. The example of Moses is invoked as a warning from history: previous nations hurt their prophet with words, and God cleared his honor.

Connection to the Surah’s Theme

Surah Al-Ahzab is centrally about the household of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:

Protection of his wives’ honor

Etiquette of entering his home

The prohibition of marrying his widows

The unique station of his wives as “Mothers of the Believers”

The accusations of hypocrites against him and his family

At the end of all this, the surah reminds the believers that this pattern is not new: Moses, too, was a prophet whose honor, body, and personal life were slandered. God defended him, just as He defends His final Messenger. Thus, the mention of Moses serves a universal and consoling purpose:

Universal value: All messengers face similar trials—slander, accusations about their marriages, attacks on their dignity. The believers are called to be unlike those who engage in such abuse.

Consistency of divine protection: God shields His prophets’ reputations, whether Moses or Muhammad, peace be upon them both.
