The day We shall call a witness from every people, the unbelievers will not be allowed to make excuses. 84 And when the evildoers behold the chastisement, it shall not be lightened for them, and no respite shall be given them. 85 When those who associate partners with God see their associate gods, they will say, "Our Lord, these are our associate gods whom we used to call upon instead of You." But they will throw back their words at them, [saying], "Indeed you are liars," 86 and on that Day they will offer total submission to God: and all that they used to devise will fail them. 87 Those who disbelieved and averted [others] from the way of Allah - We will increase them in punishment over [their] punishment for what corruption they were causing. 88 Remind them of the Day when We shall call from every people a witness against them, and make you a witness over them, for We have revealed to you the Book as an exposition of everything, and as guidance and grace and happy tidings for those who submit. 89
