Have you not seen that Allâh knows whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever is on the earth? There is no Najwa[] (secret counsel) of three,
but He is their fourth (with His Knowledge, while He Himself is over the
Throne, over the seventh heaven), nor of five but He is their sixth (with His
Knowledge), not of less than that or more, but He is with them (with His
Knowledge) wheresoever they may be; And afterwards on the Day of Resurrection,
He will inform them of what they did. Verily, Allâh is the All-Knower of
everything. (7) Have you not seen those who were forbidden to hold secret
counsels, and afterwards returned to that which they had been forbidden, and
conspired together for sin and wrong doing and disobedience to the Messenger
(Muhammad SAW ). And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting
wherewith Allâh greets you not, and say within themselves: "Why should
Allâh punish us not for what we say?" Hell will be sufficient for them,
they will burn therein, and worst indeed is that destination! (8) O you who believe!
When you hold secret counsel, do it not for sin and wrong-doing, and
disobedience towards the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) but do it for Al-Birr
(righteousness) and Taqwa (virtues and piety); and fear Allâh unto Whom you
shall be gathered. (9) Secret counsels (conspiracies) are only from Shaitân
(Satan), in order that he may cause grief to the believers. But he cannot harm
them in the least, except as Allâh permits, and in Allâh let the believers put
their trust[] (10) O you who believe! When you are told to make room in the
assemblies, (spread out and) make room. Allâh will give you (ample) room (from
His Mercy). And when you are told to rise up [for prayers, Jihâd (holy fighting
in Allâh's Cause), or for any other good deed], rise up. Allâh will exalt in
degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge. And
Allâh is Well-Acquainted with what you do. (11)
