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.
In Islamic tradition, Quran 42:51 serves as the basis of understanding for Revelation in Islam (waḥy).
Based on this verse, Islamic scholars have described three ways in which God's revelation can reach His chosen individuals, especially prophets. [4]
