| Tanzīlu Al-Kitābi Mina Al-Lahi Al-`Azīzi Al-Ĥakīmi | The revelation of the Book (this Qur'ān) is from Allāh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Al-Ahqaf 46:2) |

But those who disbelieve turn away from that whereof they are warned. (Al-Ahqaf 46:3) |

All that you invoke besides Allāh show me! What have they created of the earth? Or have they a share in (the creation of) the heavens? Bring me a Book (revealed before this), or some trace of knowledge (in support of your claims), if you are truthful!" (Al-Ahqaf 46:4) |
| Wa Man 'Ađallu Mimman Yad`ū Min Dūni Al-Lahi Man Lā Yastajību Lahu 'Ilá Yawmi Al-Qiyāmati Wa Hum `An Du`ā'ihim Ghāfilūna | And who is more astray than one who calls (invokes) besides Allāh, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them? (Al-Ahqaf 46:5) |
| Wa 'Idhā Ĥushira An-Nāsu Kānū Lahum 'A`dā'an Wa Kānū Bi`ibādatihim Kāfirīna | And when mankind are gathered (on the Day of Resurrection), they (false deities) will become enemies for them and will deny their worshipping. (Al-Ahqaf 46:6) |
| Wa 'Idhā Tutlá `Alayhim 'Āyātunā Bayyinātin Qāla Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Lilĥaqqi Lammā Jā'ahum Hādhā Siĥrun Mubīnun | And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, the disbelievers say of the truth (this Qur'ān), when it reaches them: "This is plain magic!" (Al-Ahqaf 46:7) |

Say: "If I have fabricated it, still you have no power to support me against Allāh. He knows best of what you say among yourselves concerning it (i.e. this Qur'ān)! Sufficient is He for a witness between me and you! And He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Al-Ahqaf 46:8) |

I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am but a plain warner." (Al-Ahqaf 46:9) |

If this (Qur'ān) is from Allāh, and you deny it, and a witness from among the Children of Israel ('Abdullāh bin Salām) testifies that this Qur'ān is from Allāh [like the Taurāt (Torah)], so he believed (embraced Islām) while you are too proud (to believe)." Verily! Allāh guides not the people who are Zālimûn (polytheists, disbelievers and wrong-doing). (Al-Ahqaf 46:10) |

And when they have not let themselves be guided by it (this Qur'ān), they say: "This is an ancient lie!" (Al-Ahqaf 46:11) |

And this is a confirming Book (the Qur'ān) in the Arabic language, to warn those who do wrong, and as glad tidings to the Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112). (Al-Ahqaf 46:12) |
| 'Inna Al-Ladhīna Qālū Rabbunā Al-Lahu Thumma Astaqāmū Falā Khawfun `Alayhim Wa Lā Hum Yaĥzanūna | Verily, those who say: "Our Lord is (only) Allāh," and thereafter Istaqāmû (i.e. stood firm and straight on the Islāmic Faith of Monotheism by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allāh has forbidden and by performing all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained), on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Al-Ahqaf 46:13) |

His mother bears him with hardship and she brings him forth with hardship, and the bearing of him, and the weaning of him is thirty (30) months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my off-spring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims (submitting to Your Will)." (Al-Ahqaf 46:15) |

Do you hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up (again) when generations before me have passed away (without rising)?" While they (father and mother) invoke Allāh for help (and rebuke their son): "Woe to you! Believe! Verily, the Promise of Allāh is true." But he says: "This is nothing but the tales of the ancient." (Al-Ahqaf 46:17) |

Now this Day you shall be recompensed with a torment of humiliation, because you were arrogant in the land without a right, and because you used to rebel and disobey (Allāh). (Al-Ahqaf 46:20) |

And surely, there have passed away warners before him and after him (saying): "Worship none but Allāh; truly, I fear for you the torment of a mighty Day." (Al-Ahqaf 46:21) |

Nay, but it is that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened! a wind wherein is a painful torment! (Al-Ahqaf 46:24) |

And We had assigned them the (faculties of) hearing (ears), seeing (eyes), and hearts, but their hearing (ears), seeing (eyes), and their hearts availed them nothing since they used to deny the Ayāt (Allāh's Prophets and their Prophethood, proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allāh, and they were completely encircled by that which they used to mock at! (Al-Ahqaf 46:26) |

Nay, but they vanished completely from them (when there came the torment). And that was their lie, and their inventions which they had been inventing (before their destruction). (Al-Ahqaf 46:28) |

Respond (with obedience) to Allāh's Caller (i.e. Allāh's Messenger Muhammad SAW), and believe in him (i.e. believe in that which Muhammad SAW has brought from Allāh and follow him). He (Allāh) will forgive you of your sins, and will save you from a painful torment (i.e. Hell-fire). (Al-Ahqaf 46:31) |

On the Day when they will see that (torment) with which they are promised (i.e. threatened, it will be) as if they had not stayed more than an hour in a single day. (O mankind! This Qur'ān is sufficient as) a clear Message (or proclamation to save yourself from destruction). But shall any be destroyed except the people who are Al-Fāsiqûn (the rebellious, disobedient to Allāh). (Al-Ahqaf 46:35) |
