Surat Al-Ahqaf (Arabic: سورة الأحقاف‎ ) (The Wind-curved Sandhills, The Dunes) is the 46th sura of the Qur'an with 35 ayat.

Prophet is ordained to relate to the people of Quraish not to worship other gods, but only Allah, the One and Only:

(20) And remember (Hûd), brother of 'Ad, when he warned his people in Al-Ahqâf…: "Worship none but Allâh; truly, I fear for you the torment of a mighty Day”

--- when they disobeyed and did not listen to the Messenger (brother of Ad) everything was destroyed.

Allah says in (25) : “…Thus do We recompense the people who are Mujrimeen (guilty)!”

--- The Quraish were supposed to take a lesson from what happened to the people of Al-Ahqaf (the Wind curved Sandills) [ss]
