thumb|Folio from the [[Qur'an manuscript with first verses of the chapter Al-Ahqaf. The title and verse count at the beginning of chapter are written in gold in a rectangular panel with a marginal tassel. Kufic script. Middle East or North Africa, late 9th - early 10th century. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art]] Al-Ahqaf (, ; "the sand dunes" or "the winding sand tracts") is the 46th chapter (surah) of the Qur'an with 35 verses (ayat). This is the seventh and last chapter starting with the Muqattaʿat letters Hāʼ Mīm. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is one of the late Meccan chapters, except for verse 10 and possibly a few others which Muslims believe were revealed in Medina.
The chapter covers various topics: It warns against those who reject the Quran, and reassures those who believe; it instructs Muslims to be virtuous towards their parents; it tells of the Prophet Hud and the punishment that befell his people, and it advises Muhammad to be patient in delivering his message of Islam.
