Ash-Shuraa 42:4

Ash-Shuraa - The Consultation

الشورى

لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۖ وَهُوَ العَلِيُّ العَظيمُ

Everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to Him. He is the Most High, the Supreme.

Verse 5

تَكادُ السَّماواتُ يَتَفَطَّرنَ مِن فَوقِهِنَّ ۚ وَالمَلائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحونَ بِحَمدِ رَبِّهِم وَيَستَغفِرونَ لِمَن فِي الأَرضِ ۗ أَلا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الغَفورُ الرَّحيمُ

The heavens almost rupture from above them, while the angels praise the glory of their Lord and seek forgiveness for those on earth. God is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

Verse 6

وَالَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا مِن دونِهِ أَولِياءَ اللَّهُ حَفيظٌ عَلَيهِم وَما أَنتَ عَلَيهِم بِوَكيلٍ

As for those who take protectors other than Him, God is watchful over them, and you aren’t a trustee over them.

Verse 7

وَكَذٰلِكَ أَوحَينا إِلَيكَ قُرآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لِتُنذِرَ أُمَّ القُرىٰ وَمَن حَولَها وَتُنذِرَ يَومَ الجَمعِ لا رَيبَ فيهِ ۚ فَريقٌ فِي الجَنَّةِ وَفَريقٌ فِي السَّعيرِ

Thus, We revealed to you an Arabic Quran, to warn the Mother of Cities and those around it, and to warn of the Day of Gathering, about which there is no doubt. A group will be in paradise, and a group in the Blaze.

Verse 8

وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَهُم أُمَّةً واحِدَةً وَلـٰكِن يُدخِلُ مَن يَشاءُ في رَحمَتِهِ ۚ وَالظّالِمونَ ما لَهُم مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ

Had God willed, He could’ve made them one community, but He admits into His mercy whom He wills. The wrongdoers have no protector or helper.

Verse 9

أَمِ اتَّخَذوا مِن دونِهِ أَولِياءَ ۖ فَاللَّهُ هُوَ الوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحيِي المَوتىٰ وَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ

Or have they taken protectors other than Him? God alone is the Protector. He gives life to the dead, and He is over all things capable.
