And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says, "My Lord, enable me1 to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims."

But their hearing and vision and hearts availed them not from anything [of the punishment] when they were [continually] rejecting the signs of Allāh; and they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

the Signs
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
that they may

٢٧return
And We have already destroyed what surrounds you of [those] cities, and We have diversified the signs [or verses] that perhaps they might return [from disbelief].
46:28
فَلَوۡلَا
Then why (did) not
نَصَرَهُمُ
help them
those whom
they had taken
مِن
besides
besides
Allah
قُرۡبَانًا
gods as a way of approach
ءَالِهَةَۢۖ
gods as a way of approach
Nay
ضَلُّواۡ
they were lost
عَنۡهُمۡۚ
from them
وَذٰ
And that
إِفۡكُهُمۡ
(was) their falsehood
وَمَا
and what
كَانُواۡ
they were
يَفۡتَرُو نَ
٢٨inventing
Then why did those they took besides Allāh as deities by which to approach [Him]1 not aid them? But they had strayed [i.e., departed] from them. And that was their falsehood and what they were inventing.
46:29
وَإِذۡ
And when
صَرَفۡنَآ
We directed
إِلَيۡكَ
to you
نَفَرًا
a party
of
the jinn
يَسۡتَمِعُونَ
listening
(to) the Quran
فَلَمّ َا
And when
حَضَرُوهُ
they attended it
قَالُوٓ اۡ
they said
أَنص ِتُواۡۖ
Listen quietly
فَلَمّ َا
And when
قُضِىَ
it was concluded
وَلَّوۡاۡ
they turned back
إِلَىٰ
to
قَوۡمِهِم
their people
(as) warners
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when We directed to you a few of the jinn, listening to the Qur’ān. And when they attended it, they said, "Listen attentively." And when it was concluded, they went back to their people as warners.
46:30
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰ قَوۡمَنَآ
O our people
إِنّ َا
Indeed, we
سَمِعۡنَا
[we] have heard

he can escape

But he who does not respond to the Caller of Allāh will not cause failure [to Him] upon earth, and he will not have besides Him any protectors. Those are in manifest error."
46:33
أَوَلَمۡ
Do not

All-Powerful
Do they not see that Allāh, who created the heavens and earth and did not fail in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is over all things competent.
46:34
وَيَوۡمَ
And (the) Day

the truth

They will say

He will say
فَذُوقُواۡ
Then taste
the punishment

٣٤disbelieve
And the Day those who disbelieved are exposed to the Fire [it will be said], "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will say, "Then taste the punishment for what you used to deny."1
46:35
فَٱ صۡبِرۡ
So be patient
كَمَا
as

had patience
أُوۡ لُواۡ
those of determination
those of determination

of
the Messengers

As if they had
يَوۡمَ
(the) Day
يَرَوۡنَ

they were promised
لَمۡ
not
يَلۡبَثُوٓ اۡ

an hour
of
a day
A notification
But will
يُهۡلَكُ
(any) be destroyed
إِلَّا
except
the people
the defiantly disobedient
So be patient, [O Muḥammad], as were those of determination among the messengers and do not be impatient for them.1 It will be - on the Day they see that which they are promised - as though they had not remained [in the world] except an hour of a day. [This is] notification. And will [any] be destroyed except the defiantly disobedient people?
