Surah ash-Shura (Consultation ) 42 : 15

Explanatory

Therefore, call people to that faith, and follow the straight path as you have been commanded. Do not follow their likes and dislikes, but say: I believe in whatever revelation God has bestowed from on high. I am commanded to ensure justice between you. God is our Lord and your Lord. To us shall be accounted our deeds, and to you, your deeds. Let there be no argument between us and you. God will bring us all together, and to Him we shall all return. (Verse 15)

This is a new leadership for all mankind; a strong leadership, sure of its way and firm in its beliefs. It advocates its message equipped with true insight, and follows God's orders without deviation, steering away from all conflicting forces. This new leadership of mankind declares that the Divine message is one and the way to which it guides people is the same. Thus, all Divine faith comes from one source and mankind must turn to that source only: "Say: I believe in whatever revelation God has bestowed from on high." (Verse 15) Its constitution and policy is based on truth and justice: "I am commanded to ensure justice between you." (Verse 15) This new leadership has definite authority enabling it to declare justice among all mankind even at the time when it was confined to the narrow valleys of Makkah, where its followers suffered unrelenting persecution. Yet its authority was clear to all. It clearly announces that: (1) the Lord of the universe is the One Lord: "God is our Lord and your Lord." (Verse 15); (2) everyone is responsible for their own actions: "To us shall be accounted our deeds, and to you, your deeds." (Verse 15); (3) all argument is ended as God's final word is given: "Let there be no argument between us and you." (Verse 15); and (4) all affairs are left to God for His final judgement: "God will bring us all together, and to Him we shall all return." (Verse 15)
