It reminds people that an idea is best understood by people when it is presented in deeds and actions. In other words, divine guidance would become relevant to people if it is substantiated with deeds. It talks about the benefit of the divine teaching for people and asks them to reflect on the Quran being revealed upon the Prophet. It tells the rejecters of the faith that they cannot reduce the relevance and significance of the divine guidance by rejecting it. It also asks people to be polite and humble in their discourse and respond to evil with good while inviting people for reflecting on the truth.

The 42nd Surah Ash-Shura in the traditionally arranged Quran is the 62nd Surah that was revealed upon the Prophet. It was revealed in Makkah has 53 Ayah and five Ruku.

There was never a period and community in human history that did not get the chance to hear the divine guidance through the messengers chosen by Allah. These messengers reminded the people of the life after this worldly life where each would be judged by God on the basis of his or her performance. It also asks people that avoiding major sins is the best way to prepare one for the next life. It also advises people to consult each other in their affairs.
