Surah Shura has 53 ayat and it was revealed in Makkah,and its title derives from the question of shura (“consultation”) referred to in Verse 38. The Chapter treats of the basic tenets of the Islamic faith, e.g. Divine Unity, Resurrection, Prophethood, as well as ethical and social issues. From amongst the twenty-nine Chapters opening with detached letters, the longest series of detached letters is attested in the Chapter in question.

It is worthy of note that the Chapter unravels the mystery of detached letters, since they are followed by:

“Likewise Allah, the Omnipotent, the All-Wise sends Revelation unto you,”

i.e. the Revelation is sent down employing the Arabic letters of alphabet available to everyone whom are challenged to produce the like of it.

If you knew the reward for this, you would never have felt tired of reciting it.’ The angels will then be ordered to take him to Jannah where he will find a palace made of red rubies. There will be two huries and a thousand slaves in that palace.
