							Counsel | Mecca. 5 Sections. 53 Verses. |  |  |  Allah in the 
			name of the Most Affectionate, the Merciful. 
			SECTION: 1
 1. Ha-Mim.
 
 2. Ain-Seen-Qaf.
 
 3. Likewise reveals to you and to those before you, Allah the
 Honourable. The Wise.
 
 4. For Him is whatever is in the heaven and whatever is in the 
			earth.
 And He is the Exalted, the Grand.
 
 5. It is well night that the heavens may rend from above themselves 
			and
 the angels sanctify their Lord with His praise and beg forgiveness 
			for
 the people of earth. Hearken, Allah, He is the Forgiver, the 
			Merciful.
 
 6. And those who have taken others as patrons beside Allah, they are
 under the sight of Allah and you are not responsible for them.
 
 7. And likewise We revealed to you a Quran in Arabic so that you may
 warn thereby the mother of all towns the Meccans and those who live
 around it and you may warn them of a Day of Assembly wherein there 
			is
 no doubt. A party is in the paradise and a party is in the Hell.
 
 8. And had Allah willed He would have made them a people of one 
			faith,
 but Allah admits into His mercy whomsoever He pleases. And as for 
			the
 unjust, they have neither any friend nor any helper.
 
 9. Have they taken others as patrons beside Allah? But it is Allah, 
			He
 is the Patron and He will give life to the dead and He can do every
 thing.
 
 SECTION: 2
 
 10. In whatever you differ, the decision thereof is with Allah. This 
			is
 Allah, my Lord, in Him I put my trust-and I turn towards Him.
 
 11. The Maker of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you 
			pairs
 of your own selves and male and female cattle, whereby He spreads 
			your
 race. Nothing is Like Him, and He is the All-Hearing, All-seeing.
 
 12. For Him are the keys of the Heavens and the earth. He expands 
			the
 provision for whomsoever He pleases and straitens too. Undoubtedly. 
			He
 knows everything.
 
 13. He has directed you to the religion, which He enjoined upon Nuh 
			and
 that which We revealed to you and that which We enjoined upon 
			Ibrahim,
 Musa and Isa saying, "set the religion right and cause not 
			dissension
 therein. Very hard upon the polytheists is that to which you call 
			them.
 And Allah chooses for His nearness whomsoever He pleases and guides 
			to
 Himself him who turns towards Him.
 
 14. And they caused not dissension but after the knowledge had come 
			to
 them on account of mutual jealousy. And had not a saying of your 
			Lord
 gone forth for an appointed term, the matter. Would have been surely
 decided among them long ago. And undoubtedly, those who have 
			inherited
 the Book after them are in a deceitful doubt regarding it.
 
 15. For this then, call you and remain steadfast as you have been
 commanded and follow not their desires and say, "I believe in 
			whatever
 Book Allah has sent down and I have been commanded that I may do
 justice between you. Allah is our Lord and the Lord of you all. For 
			us
 are our deeds and for you are your deeds. There is no argument 
			between
 us and you. Allah will gather us together, and towards Him is the
 return.
 
 16. And those who dispute concerning Allah after that the muslims 
			have
 already accepted His Call, their argument is purely unstable in the
 sight of Allah and upon them is the wrath and for them is the severe
 torment.
 
 17. Allah is Who has sent down the Book with the truth and the 
			balance
 of justice. And what shall make you know that perhaps the Hour may 
			be
 near.
 
 18. Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, and those who
 believe therein are fearing of it and know that undoubtedly, it is 
			the
 truth, Beware! Verily, those who are in doubt concerning the Hour 
			are
 indeed in a far-off error.
 
 19. Allah is Gentle towards His bondmen. He provides for whomsoever 
			He
 pleases, and He is the Powerful. Honourable.
 
 SECTION: 3
 
 20. Whosoever desires till age of the Hereafter. We give an increase 
			in
 his till age, and whosoever desires the till age of the world, We 
			shall
 give him somewhat thereof and in the Hereafter he shall have no 
			share.
 
 21. Or for them there are some associates who have made for them a
 religion that for which Allah has given no leave. And had there not
 been the promise of a decision, it would have been decided between 
			them
 here. And undoubtedly, for the unjust people is a painful torment.
 
 22. You shall see the wrongdoers fearful on account of their 
			earnings
 and it is sure to be-fall them. And those who believed and did good
 deeds are in the meadows of the Paradise. They shall have with their
 Lord whatever they will desire. This is the great grace.
 
 23. This is that of which Allah gives the glad-tidings to His 
			bondmen
 who believed and did good deeds. Say you, "I ask not of you any wage
 for it but affection in respect of kinship". And whoever does a
 good-deed, We shall increase to him good in respect thereof.
 Undoubtedly, Allah is Forgiving, Appreciating.
 
 24. Or they say, "He has forged a lie against Allah." But if Allah
 wills, He may set a seal of His Mercy and safely upon your heart. 
			And
 Allah wipes out the falsehood and establishes the truth with His 
			Words.
 Undoubtedly, He knows what is inside the breasts.
 
 25 And it is He Who accepts the repentance from His bondmen and
 overlooks the faults and He knows what you do.
 
 26. And He responds to those who have believed and have done good 
			deeds
 and gives them more reward out of His grace. And for the infidels 
			there
 is a severe torment.
 
 27. And had Allah expanded the provisions of all His bondmen, they
 would have necessarily then spread mischief in the earth, but He 
			sends
 down according to a measure as He pleases, undoubtedly, He is Aware 
			of
 His bond-men, Sees them.
 
 28. And it is He Who sends down rain after they have despaired, and
 spreads out His mercy. And He is the Protector, Praiseworthy.
 
 29. And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth 
			and
 of whatever moving creatures He has spread forth in them. And He has
 the power to gather them together when He pleases.
 
 SECTION: 4
 
 30. And whatever affliction reached you is due to what Your hands 
			have
 earned; and He pardons much.
 
 31. And you cannot go out of His control in the earth, and you have
 against Allah, neither a friend nor a helper.
 
 32. And of His signs are vessels running in the sea like hills.
 
 33. If He pleases, He may cause the wind to become still, so that 
			they
 stand still on its back. Undoubtedly, therein are signs for every 
			one
 most patient and grateful.
 
 34. Or He may destroy them on account of the sins of the people and 
			may
 pardon much of their sins.
 
 35. And those who dispute in Our Signs should know that for them 
			there
 is no place of escape.
 
 36. And whatever you have been given is only a temporary provision 
			of
 this living world and that which is with Allah is better and more
 lasting for those who have believed and trust their Lord.
 
 37. And those who avoid heinous sins and indecencies and, when they 
			are
 angry, they forgive.
 
 38. And those who obeyed the command of their Lord and established
 prayer and their affairs are decided by mutual consultation and they
 spend something out of Our provision in Our way.
 
 39. And those who, when insolence reaches them, take revenge.
 
 40. And the recompense of evil is evil the like of it, but whoso
 forgives and puts the things right his reward is with Allah.
 Undoubtedly, He loves not the unjust.
 
 41. And undoubtedly, whoso took revenge after being victim of
 oppression; there is no way of blame against them.
 
 42. The blame is only against them who oppress mankind and rebel in 
			the
 earth without right. For them is the painful torment.
 
 43. But whoever indeed preserved and forgave, most certainly, then
 these are the affairs of determination.
 
 SECTION: 5
 
 44. And whomsoever Allah leads astray, he has no friend against 
			Allah.
 And you will see the oppressors when they will see the torment 
			saying,
 Is there anyway to return'
 
 45. And you will see them that they are presented before Fire 
			dejected
 on account of disgrace, they see with veiled eyes. And the believers
 will say, 'undoubtedly, the losers are those who have lost their 
			souls
 and their families on the Day of Resurrection'. Beware! No doubt, 
			the
 unjust are in lasting torment.
 
 46. And they have no friend to help them against Allah and 
			whomsoever
 Allah leads astray; there is no way for him.
 
 47. Obey the commands of your Lord before the coming of the Day that 
			is
 not to be fumed back from Allah. You will have no refuge that day, 
			nor
 you can dare to deny.
 
 48. But if they turn their faces, then We have not sent you as a
 guardian over them. There is nothing on you but to convey the (the
 Message) And when We give man the taste of any mercy from Us, he
 becomes happy over it. But if any evil befalls them because of what
 their hands have sent forth, then the man is most ungrateful.
 
 49. For Allah is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth, He 
			creates
 whatever He likes. He bestows daughters on whomsoever He likes and 
			He
 bestows sons on whomsoever He likes.
 
 50. Or He mixes both, the sons and the daughters, and He makes
 whomsoever He likes barren. Undoubtedly, He is knowing, 
			Authoritative.
 
 51. And it is not fit for any man that Allah should speak to him but
 through revelation or that the man may be at the other side of the 
			veil
 of grandeur. Or He may send any angel that he may reveal by His 
			command
 what He pleases undoubtedly He is High, Wise
 
 52. And likewise We have revealed to you an invigorative thing by 
			Our
 command. You did not know the Book before it nor the details of the
 laws of religion, yes, We made it a light whereby We guide such of 
			Our
 bondmen as We please. And undoubtedly, you most certainly guides to 
			the
 straight path.
 
 53. The path of Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens 
			and
 whatever is in the earth. Do you listen? All affairs return to Allah
 only.
