Ash-Shuraa 42:7

Ash-Shuraa - The Consultation

الشورى

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.

Verse 10

وَمَا اختَلَفتُم فيهِ مِن شَيءٍ فَحُكمُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ ذٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبّي عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَإِلَيهِ أُنيبُ

In any matter of dispute, the final decision rests with God. “This is God, my Lord. Upon Him I have relied, and to Him I turn.”

Verse 11

فاطِرُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِن أَنفُسِكُم أَزواجًا وَمِنَ الأَنعامِ أَزواجًا ۖ يَذرَؤُكُم فيهِ ۚ لَيسَ كَمِثلِهِ شَيءٌ ۖ وَهُوَ السَّميعُ البَصيرُ

The Creator of the heavens and the earth, has made for you mates from your own kind, and pairs of livestock, by which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

Verse 12

لَهُ مَقاليدُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ يَبسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيَقدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَليمٌ

To Him belong the controls of the heavens and the earth. He extends provision for whomever He wills, and restricts. He is fully aware of everything.
