Are (these two) alike?- one to whom We have made a goodly promise, and who is going to reach its (fulfilment), and one to whom We have given the good things of this life, but who, on the Day of Judgment, is to be among those brought up (for punishment)? 61 And on the Day whereon He shall call unto them and say: where are My associates whom ye were wont to assert? 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 And [they] will be told: "Call [now] unto those [beings or powers] to whom you were wont to ascribe a share in God's divinity!" and they will call unto them [for help,] but those [fake objects of worship] will not respond to them: whereupon they will see the suffering [that awaits them - the suffering which could have been avoided] if only they had allowed themselves to be guided! 64 And (remember) the Day (Allah) will call to them, and say: "What answer gave you to the Messengers?" 65 Then the news of a good answer will be obscured to them on that day, and they will not be able to ask one another. 66 However, those who have repented and have become righteously striving believers will perhaps have everlasting happiness. 67 Thy Lord creates whatsoever He will and He chooses; they have not the choice. Glory be to God! High be He exalted above that they associate! 68 And thy Lord knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal. 69 And He is Allah there is no god but he! His is all praise in the first and in the last, and His is the command, and unto Him ye shall be returned. 70 Say: 'What think you? If God should make the night unceasing over you, until the Day of Resurrection, what god other than God shall bring you illumination? Will you not hear?' 71 Say: 'What would you think if Allah should make the day unceasing over you till the Day of Resurrection, what god, other than Allah, shall bring you the night to sleep in. Will you not see' 72 Yet in His benevolence He made you night and day that you may rest and seek His bounty during them, and haply maybe grateful." 73 And on the day when He shall call them and say: Where are those whom you deemed to be My associates? 74 And We shall draw out from every nation a witness, and say, 'Produce your proof!' Then will they know that Truth is God's, and there shall go astray from them that they were forging. 75
