Surah Ash-Shuraa (الشورى)

The Consultation · Meccan · 53 ayahs · Juz 25

• 42:1

  حمٓ

  HaaMeem. (Only Allaah knows the correct meaning of these letters.)

• 42:2

  عٓسٓقٓ

  Ayn Seen Qaaf (Only Allaah knows the correct meaning of these letters).

• 42:3

  كَذَٰلِكَ يُوحِىٓ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

  In this manner (just as Allaah has revealed this Surah containing many directives and advice,) did Allaah, the Mighty, the Wise send revelation to you (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) and to those (Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام) before you.

• 42:4

  لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

  To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Exalted (the Lofty), the Grand (Great).

• 42:5

  تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِن فَوْقِهِنَّ ۚ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

  The skies can almost be torn apart from above (because of the strain of carrying the angels) as the angels glorify the praises of their Rabb and seek forgiveness for those on earth (so that Allaah should not destroy all of them.) Behold! Allaah (accepts their prayers and forgives the people on earth because He) is certainly the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful (in accepting the prayers of the angels).

• 42:6

  وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهُ حَفِيظٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ

  Allaah is Vigilant over (He knows) those who adopt patrons (helpers, gods) besides Allaah. You (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) are not a guardian over them (and can therefore not force them to accept Imaan).

• 42:7

  وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّتُنذِرَ أُمَّ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنذِرَ يَوْمَ ٱلْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ۚ فَرِيقٌ فِى ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌ فِى ٱلسَّعِيرِ

  In this manner (as We have been sending revelation to you, O Rasulullaah ﷺ) did We reveal the Arabic Qur'aan to you so that you may warn the (inhabitants of the) Mother of all cities (Makkah) and those around her; and so that you may warn them about the Day of Gathering (the Day of Qiyaamah), about which there is no doubt. (Once judgement is passed on the Day of Qiyaamah,) A group (the Mu'mineen) shall be in Jannah, while another (the Kuffaar) shall be in the Blaze (Jahannam).
