The Counsel

THE QURAN: ASH-SHURA (Surah 42) Verses 17 to 26
"The Counsel"
(Revealed At Mecca, 53 Verses)

Read 3 times after subuh
Then doa (supplicate) in your own words

God is He who has sent down the Book and the Balance, with the truth; and what shall make thee know if the Hour is nearby! (17)

Those who do not believe in it, seek to hasten it, but those who believe are fearful of it, for they know that it is the truth. Behold, those who doubt the Hour, they are astray far away. (18)

God is courteous to His servants, provides to whom He will; and He is the Strong, the Mighty. (19)

Whoso desires the tillage of the Hereafter, We shall give him increase in his tillage, and whoso desires the tillage of this world, We shall give him some of it, but he will have no share in the Hereafter.
(20)

Or do they have associate-gods who have laid down for them some religion which God has not permitted? But for the Word of Decision, it would have been decided between them; and for the wrong-doers, there shall be a painful punishment. (21)

Thou shalt see the wrong-doers fearful because of what they have earned, but it shall fall on them. And those who believe and do righteous deeds shall be in meadows of the gardens; they shall have, whatever they will, with their Lord; that is the great bounty. (22)

That indeed is the good news that God gives to His servants, who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, ‘I do not ask of you a wage for this, except love of the kinship’. And Whoso earns a good deed We shall give them increase in goodness; surely God is Forgiving, Thankful. (23)

Or do they say, ‘he has forged a lie against God’? But if God will, He may set a seal on thy heart; and God blots out the falsehood, and verifies the truth by His Words; surely He knows the thoughts in the breasts. (24)

And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants, and pardons the evils; and He knows what you do; (25)

and He answers those who believe and do righteous deeds, and gives them increase of His bounty; and the unbelievers, for them shall be a terrible punishment.
(26)
