Surah Al Ahqaf, the 46th Surah of the Holy Quran, is a profound testament to the power of Allah. It serves as a stark reminder to the disbelievers of the consequences of rejecting Allah’s message. Surah Al Ahqaf was revealed in Makkah upon Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) return from Kaif.

9. Say that I am not a new prophet.  And I do not know what will be done to me and what will be done to you. I follow that which is revealed to me, and my task is to guide openly.

24. Then when they saw this (torment) as a cloud (in the form of) coming towards their plains, they said, “This is a cloud that will keep raining on us.”  (Nay) Rather, (this) is that for which you used to hasten, i.e. a whirlwind full of painful punishment.
25. He destroys everything by the order of his Lord, so they became such that nothing was visible except their houses.  We punish the sinners in the same way. 
26. And We gave them powers which you did not give to the people and gave them ears and eyes and hearts.  So when they used to deny the verses of God, neither their ears nor their eyes nor their hearts could do anything for them.  And what they used to mock surrounded them. 
27. And we destroyed the settlements around you.  And reveal (His) signs again and again so that they may turn.
28. So why did they not help those whom these people had taken as gods other than Taqbar (God)?  Rather, they were lost (before them).  And this was their lie, and this was what they used to slander.
29. And when We drew many of the jinn to you to listen to the Qur’an.  So when they came to him, they said (among themselves): Be silent.  When (reciting) was finished, he went back to the people of his community to advise (them).
30. They said, O people!  We have heard a book that was revealed after Moses.  It confirms those (books) that were (revealed) before it (and) shows the true (religion) and the straight path.
31. O nation!  Accept the word of the caller to God and believe in him.  God will forgive your sins and protect you from a painful punishment.
32. And whoever does not accept the call to God, then he will not be able to humble (God) in the earth, nor will he have any supporters besides him.  These people are clearly in error. 
33. Did they not understand that God who created the heavens and the earth and did not get tired of creating them?  He is also able to revive the dead.  Yes, yes, He is able to do everything.
34. And on the Day when they will be brought before the Fire (and it will be said) Is this not right?  So you will say, “Why not? By our Lord, the order will be that you who used to deny what you used to deny (in this world) will (now) taste the pleasure of the punishment.” 
35. So (O Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him), just as the Prophet (PBUH) has been patient, so be patient and do not seek haste (punishment) for them.  On the day when they will see that which is promised to them, (they will think) as if they had not lived (in the world) but for an hour and a day.  (This Qur’an) is a message.  So (now) those who were disobedient will perish.
