Can someone to whom We have made a gracious promise and who will see it fulfilled, be compared to someone We have allowed to enjoy a worldly life, awhile, and who will be brought up [before God] for his accounting on the Day of Resurrection? 61 That day God will call them and ask: "Where are they you imagined were My compeers?" 62 Those upon whom the sentence will be pronounced will say: our Lord these are they whom we seduced, we seduced them even as we ourselves were seduced. We declare ourselves quit of them before Thee; not ourselves they were wont to worship. 63 It will be said to them: 'Call on your associates' And they will call on them, but they will not respond to them, and they shall see the punishment if only they had been guided. 64 And on the Day whereon He shall call unto them and say: what answer gave ye to the sent ones? 65 Then they will not be able to think of any reply, nor will they be able to ask one another. 66 But those who repented and believed and acted righteously, they will perhaps be among those who will prosper there. 67 And your Lord creates whatever He wills, and chooses; they do not have any power to choose; Purity and Supremacy are to Allah above their ascribing partners (to Him). 68 And thy Lord knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal. 69 He is God: there is no god but Him. All Praise is due to Him in this world and the hereafter. His is the Judgement and to Him you shall be returned. 70 Say: Tell me, if Allah were to make the night to continue incessantly on you till the day of resurrection, who is the god besides Allah that could bring you light? Do you not then hear? 71 Say: "Have you ever considered [this]: If God had willed that there should always be daylight about you, without break, until the Day of Resurrection - is there any deity other than God that could bring you [the darkness of] night, wherein you might rest? Will you not, then, see [the truth]?" 72 And out of His mercy He has made for you the night and the day, that you may rest therein, and that you may seek of His grace, and that you may give thanks. 73 Upon that Day He will call to them saying: 'Now, where are those whom you alleged to be My associates' 74 And from each people We shall draw a witness, and shall say to them: "Do produce your evidence now." Then they shall know that the Truth is with Allah alone, and the lies which they had invented will forsake them. 75
