[to The Opening]


Surah 42.  Ash-Shura

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1.  Ha Meem.

2.  'Ain.  Seen.  Qaf.

3.  In this way, He sends Guidance to you and to those from before.  ALLAH, The Venerable, The Wise.

4.  His is what is in the skies and what is in the land; and He is The Supreme, The Sublime.

5.  Almost might the skies be split from above them -- and the angels sing praise of their Lord and ask pardon for those on the earth.  Now surely ALLAH, He is The Forgiving, The Merciful.

6.  And those who imitate friends, disregarding Him, ALLAH is mindful of them and you are not responsible for them.

7.  And in this way have We sent down to you a clearly stated recital, that you may warn the mother-town and those around her, and warn of a day of gathering without doubt in it:  a party in the garden and a party in the flames.

8.  Had ALLAH willed, He could have made them one community, but ALLAH brings whom He will into His mercy.  And the wrong doers have no friend nor helper.

9.  Or have they chosen protecting friends besides Him?  But ALLAH, He is the Protecting Friend.  He quickens the dead, and He is Able to do all things.
