46.1 . Ha . Mim .

46.2 . The revelation of the Scripture from Allah the Mighty , the Wise .

46.3 . We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them save with truth , and for a term appointed . But those who disbelieve turn away from that whereof they are warned .

46.4 . Say ( unto them , O Muhammad ) : Have ye thought on all that ye invoke beside Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth . Or have they any Portion the heavens? Bring me a Scripture before this ( Scripture ) , or some vestige of knowledge ( in support of what ye say ) , if ye are truthful .

46.5 . And who is further astray than those who , instead of Allah , pray unto such as hear not their prayer until the Day of Resurrection , and are unconscious of their prayer ,

46.6 . And when mankind are gathered ( to the Judgment ) will become enemies for them , and will become deniers of having been worshipped .

46.7 . And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them , who disbelieve say of the Truth when it reacheth them : This is mere magic .

46.8 . Or say they : He hath invented it? Say ( O Muhammad ) : If I have invented it , still ye have no power to support me against Allah . He is best aware of what ye say among yourselves concerning it . He sufficeth for a witness between me and you And He is the Forgiving , the Merciful .

46.9 . Say : I am no new thing among the messengers ( of Allah ) , nor know I what will be done with me or with you . I do but follow that which is inspired in me , and I am but a plain warner .

46.10 . Bethink you : If it is from Allah and ye disbelieve therein , and a witness of the Children of Israel hath already testified to the like thereof and hath believed , and ye are too proud ( what plight is yours ) ? Lo! Allah , guideth not wrong doing folk .

46.11 . And those who disbelieve say of those who believe : If it had been ( any ) good , they would not have been before us in attaining it . And since they will not be guided by it , they say : This is an ancient lie ;

46.12 . When before it there was the Scripture of Moses , an example and a mercy ; and this is a confirming Scripture in the Arabic language , that it may warn those who do wrong and bring good tidings for the righteous .

46.13 . Lo! those who say : our Lord is Allah , and thereafter walk aright , there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve .

46.14 . Such are rightful owners of the Garden , immortal thereafter as a reward for what they used to do .

46.15 . And We have commended unto man kindness toward parents . His mother beareth him with reluctance , and bringeth him forth with reluctance , and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months , till , when he attaineth full strength and reacheth forty years , he saith : My Lord! Arouse me that I may give thanks for the favor wherewith Thou hast favored me and my parents , and that I may do right acceptable unto Thee . And be gracious unto me In the matter of my seed . Lo! I have turned unto Thee repentant , and lo! I am of those who surrender ( unto Thee ) .

46.16 . Those are they from whom We accept the best of what they do , and overlook their evil deeds . ( They are ) among the owners of the Garden . This is the true promise which they were promised ( in the world ) .

46.17 . And whoso saith unto his parents : Fie upon you both! Do ye threaten me that I shall be brought forth ( again ) when generations before me have passed away? And they twain cry unto Allah for help ( and say ) : Woe unto thee! Believe! Lo! the promise of Allah is true . But he saith : This is naught save fables of the men of old :

46.18 . Such are those on whom the Word concerning nations of the Jinn and mankind which have passed away before them hath effect . Lo! they are the losers .

46.19 . And for all there will be ranks from what they do , that He may pay them for their deeds! and they will not be wronged .

46.20 . And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire ( it will be said ) : Ye squandered your good things in the life of the world and sought comfort therein . Now this day ye are rewarded with the doom of ignominy because ye were disdainful in the land without a right and because ye used to transgress .
