[46:3] We did not create the vacua and matter and everything between them except according to the truth, and for a specific time period. And the unfaithful will always turn away no matter how they are warned.
[46:4] Say; do you see what you are calling besides God? Show me what they have created from matter? Do they possess any partnership in vacua? Bring me a book prior to this or any sign of knowledge if you are truthful.
[46:5] And who is more astray than the one who calls upon one besides God who cannot respond to him until the Day of Resurrection and who is completely unaware of his callings.
[46:8] Or they say; he has fabricated it. Say, if I forged it, then I can gain nothing from God. He fully knows everything you scheme. He suffices as a witness between me and you. And He is the All Forgiving, The All Merciful.
[46:9] Say; I am not setting a precedent amongst the messengers and I do not know what will happen to me or to you. I am to follow only what is inspired to me and I am only a clear warner.
[46:10] Say; what if it is from God and you disbelieve in it? A witness from amongst the Children of Israel has borne witness to something like this and then he believed, while you turned arrogant. God does not guide a people who commit injustice.
[46:11] And the unfaithful said about those who are faithful; if it were any good then they would not have rushed to it ahead of us. And when they see they cannot find guidance thereby, they will say; this is just an old fabrication.
[46:12] And before this, the book of Moses served as a guide and a mercy. And this is a book, a confirmation in an Arabic tongue to warn the unjust and to give good news to the do-gooders.
[46:15] We have enjoined the human being to be kind to his parents. His mother carried him arduously, and gave birth to him arduously. It takes thirty months until weaning. At last, when he reaches maturity and reaches forty years, he says, Lord, make me be grateful for your blessings that You bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and do righteous work to please you; and grant me righteous heirs. Indeed, I repent to You and indeed I am one of the Peace Offerors.
[46:16] These are the ones whom We will accept the best of their deeds and We overlook their evil deeds, for they will be among the dwellers of Paradise, a true promise, which was given to them.
[46:17] And there is the one who says to his parents; woe to both of you; are you promising me that I will be resurrected, even though generations have perished before me? And the two of them implore God, saying; woe to you, have faith, for indeed God's promise is the truth. But he says; this is nothing but tales from the past.
[46:18] These are the ones who have fulfilled the promise among the previous generations of jinns and humans that perished. Indeed, they were all losers.
[46:20] And the day the unfaithful come face to face with Hell: "You have wasted your good things in your worldly life, and you rejoiced in them, consequently, today you will suffer the humiliating suffering because of your arrogance on the land, disregarding the truth, and because of your wickedness."
[46:21] And remember the brother of Aad as he warned his people regarding the dunes; and indeed there have been continuous warnings that you shall not worship except God, I surely fear for you the suffering of a great day.
[46:23] He said; indeed the knowledge thereof is only with God. I am just delivering what I was sent with, however, I see that you are ignorant people.
[46:24] Then, when they saw a cloud spanning the sky, coming towards their valleys, they said; this cloud will bring us rain. On the contrary, it is what you were challenging, a wind carrying a painful suffering.
[46:25] It destroyed everything according to its Lord's command. Then in the morning, nothing could be seen except their dwellings. We thus requite the guilty people.
[46:26] And We had established them in the same manner that We have established you, and We gave them the hearing, the eyesight and the mind, but their hearing, their eyesight, and their minds did not benefit them in the least once they argued about God's signs, and the very thing they mocked, came back to haunt them.
[46:28] Therefore, why was not there any help for them from gods besides God whom they implored to bring them closer to Him? On the contrary, they abandoned them. And such was their concoction, and their fabrication.
[46:29] And when We led to you a group of jinns to listen to the Quran; when they arrived, they said; be quiet, and when it was over, they went to their people, warning.
[46:30] They said, O our people, we have indeed heard a book revealed after Moses, confirming what was revealed previously; it guides to the truth and to a straight path.
[46:32] Anyone who does not respond to the caller, who calls to God, shall realize that he cannot be a miracle worker on the land and he has no ally besides Him. These have clearly gone astray.
[46:33] Do they not see that indeed God, the One who created the vacua and matter and was never burdened by their creation, is able to resurrect the dead? Yes indeed, He is All Powerful over all things.
[46:34] And the day the unfaithful come face to face with Hell: "Is this not the truth?" They will say; yes indeed, by our Lord. He will say; then taste the agony of what you continuously denied.
[46:35] Therefore be patient, like messengers with strong character who resorted to patience, and do not be in a rush for them. The day they see what has been promised to them, it would seem as though they had only lasted for an hour of daylight. Here is the message; is it not a fact that only the wicked shall perish?
