Transliteration:( Afa nadribu 'ankumuz Zikra safhan an kuntum qawman musrifeen )
5. That we do not give you commands of shariah. We stop revelation of the Qur'aan, Whatever has been revealed We can lift it up(from the world) we won't do so, otherwise you will be perished. The preservation of the QUR'AAN is the means of your safety and peace.
6. This will never take place; in fact you would be reformed. This tells us that man often tends to forget Allah Almighty, but his Creator does not forget him. It has been stated in Hadith Shareef that before the Day of Judgement, the Holy QUR'AAN would be raised to heaven. The death of Islamic scholars, too, is a calamity for the believers.

Please refer to Surah Zukhruf ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 8.
(43:5) Should We divert this Good Counsel from you because you are a people immersed in extravagance?[4]
4. In this one sentence the entire history that had taken place since the time the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had proclaimed to be a Prophet till the revelation of these verses during the past few years has been compressed. This sentence depicts the following picture: A nation has been involved in ignorance, backwardness and depravity for centuries. Suddenly, Allah looks at it with favor. He raises in it an illustrious guide and sends down His own Word to take it out of the darkness of ignorance so that it is aroused from slumber, it gives up superstitions of ignorance and it becomes aware of the truth and adopts the right way of life. But the ignorant people of the nation and the tribal chiefs turn hostile to the guide, and try their utmost to defeat him and his mission. With the passage of time their hostility and mischief go on increasing; so much so that they make up their mind to kill him. At this, it is being said: Should We stop making any efforts to reform you because you are proving to be unworthy people? Should We withhold sending down this Admonition, and leave you lying in the same wretched state in which you have been lying since centuries? Do you really think that should be the demand of Our Mercy? Have you ever considered what doom you would meet when you have turned down the bounty of Allah and persisted in falsehood after the truth has come before you?
