The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.We only created the heavens and the earth and everything in between for a purpose and an appointed term.Yet the disbelievers are turning away from what they have been warned about.
The Surah takes its name from the Ayat, وَاذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالْأَحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا اللَّـهَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ “And mention, [O Muhammad], the brother of ‘Aad, when he warned his people in the [region of] al-Ahqaf – and warners had already passed on before him and after him – [saying], “Do not worship except Allah. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day.” (46:21). There are 35 Ayat in this Surah.

تَنزِیلُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡعَزِیزِ ٱلۡحَكِیمِ

مَا خَلَقۡنَا 
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَیۡنَهُمَاۤ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَجَلࣲ مُّسَمࣰّىۚ 

وَٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَمَّاۤ أُنذِرُوا۟ مُعۡرِضُونَ
The Surah gives warnings to those who deny the truth.
When Allah’s punishment comes then neither the sea, nor the dry land can protect.
There is a reference in this Surah to the people of ‘Ad and Allah’s punishment for their sins.
اِس کتاب کا نزول اللہ زبردست اور دانا کی طرف سے ہے 

ہم نے زمین اور آسمانوں کو 
اور اُن ساری چیزوں کو 
جو اُن کے درمیان ہیں برحق، 
اور ایک مدت خاص کے 
تعین کے ساتھ پیدا کیا ہے

مگر یہ کافر لوگ 
اُس حقیقت سے 
منہ موڑے ہوئے ہیں 
جس سے ان کو 
خبردار کیا گیا ہے
