Ash-Shūrā (Arabic: الشورى, al-shūrā, "Council, Consultation") is the 42nd chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an (Q42) with 53 verses (āyāt). Its title derives from the question of "shūrā" (consultation) referred to in Verse 38. The term appears only once in the Quranic text (at Q42:38). It has no pre-Quranic antecedent.[1]
Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it has been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina.
"It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah's permission, what Allah wills".[3]
Based on this verse, Islamic scholars have described three ways in which God's revelation can reach His chosen individuals, especially prophets.[4]
An inspired message – not a word but an idea – can enter the heart of the chosen individuals either in the state of consciousness or in dream.[5]
The second mode, it is said, is the word heard by the person spoken to, as from behind a veil.[5]
In the third mode, the revelation is sent from God through archangels like Gabriel and is delivered to the prophets. It is the highest form of revelation, and Muslims believe the whole Quran was revealed in this mode.[4][5]
