And on the Day of Judgment all those deities whom they

once used to call upon beside Allah will vanish.

Angels ask them at the time of death

Polytheists and their Deities at Different Stages in the Afterlife

and on the Day of Judgment

}{ Who is more unjust then he who invents a falsehood, ascribing it

to Allah, or who rejects His revelation as false? Their full portion

of God's Decree shall reach them, until Our deputed angels come

to them to take charge of their souls, and say: 'Where are the

deities now, those whom you invoked besides Allah?' They will

say: 'They are all gone away from us.' And they shall bear

witness against themselves that they were unbelievers.

}{ And again, on the Day of Resurrection, He will bring them to

disgrace, and say: "Tell Me, now, where are those to whom you

ascribed a share in My Divinity, and for whose sake you disputed

(with the upholders of the Truth)?" Those who were endowed

with knowledge (in the world) will say: "Surely today humiliationand misery are upon the unbelievers."

6}{ On that Day He will call out to them: Where are those

associates of Mine? They will answer: We have declared to

You that none of us can bear witness to that. Then all those

deities whom they once used to call upon shall vanish and they

will come to know for sure that there is no escape for them.

}71{ (Let them not forget) that the Day when Allah will call unto

them, and say: "Where are those whom you imagined to be My

associates? "Those against whom the Word will be realised will

say: "Our Lord, these are the ones whom we led astray just as

we ourselves strayed. We absolve ourselves before You of all

They will say (falsely): 'By Allah, our Lord, we associated

none with You as partner.

blame. It was not us that they worshipped. "They will then be

told: "Call upon those for help whom you declared to be Our

associates." They will then call upon them but they will notanswer them. They will see the chastisement in front of them.

Would that they were guided!}}1

)Let them bear in mind) that on that Day when He will call out to

them saying: "Where are My associates, those whom you

imagined to be so?" 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.

}}71

And on the Day when We shall gather them all together, We

shall ask those who associated others with Allah as partners:

'Where, now, are your partners whom you imagined (to have a

share in the divinity of Allah?)'Then they will be able to play no

mischief but will say (falsely): 'By Allah, our Lord, we associatednone with You as partner.' Behold, how they will lie against

themselves and how their forged deities will forsake them!

4}4{ Those who gave the lie to this Book and all the Books which We

had sent with Our Messengers shall soon come to know the

Truth when fetters and chains shall be on their necks, and they

shall be dragged into boiling water, and cast into the Fire.It will

then be said to them: Where are those whom you associated as

partners with Allah?They will say: We have lost them; rather,

we never used to call upon anyone before. Thus will Allah cause

them to stumble in error. (They will be told): This is because

while you were on earth you took delight in untruth and exulted

in it.Enter Hell now to abide in it. How woeful is the abode of

those who wax proud!

The deities of polytheists will say

They will disown those whom they had set up as Allah's

associates in His Divinity.

Thus will your gods deny alI that you are saying today.

}4}6 Allah creates in the first instance and will later repeat it.

Thereafter it is to Him that you shall be sent back.On that Day

when the Hour will come, the criminals shall be dumbfounded.None whom they had associated as partners with Allah will

intercede on their behalf; rather, they will disown those whom

they had set up as Allah's associates in His Divinity.

}}

And on that Day (your Lord) will gather aII these people together

as well as their deities, whom they worship besides AIlah. Then

Those whom they had associated with Allah will say, "if

you worshipped us we were totally unaware of that."

He will ask them, "Did you mislead these servants of Mine, or

did they themselves go astray?"They will answer, "Glory be to

You! We dared not take any guardian besides You: (they weremisled because) You gave them and their forefathers all the

good things of life till they forgot the Admonition, and incurred

the punishment. " Thus will your gods deny alI that you are saying

today. Then you shall neither be able to repel your punishment nor

shall get any help from anywhere; and whoso is guilty of

iniquity, among you, We shall make him taste a severe torment.

}4}4 And the Day when We shall muster them all together, We shall

say to those who associated others as partners with Allah in Hisdivinity: 'Keep to your places - you and those whom you

associated with Allah.' Then We shall remove the veil of

foreignness separating them. Those whom they had associated

with Allah will say. 'It was not us that you worshipped.Allah's

witness suffices between you and us that (even if you

worshipped us) we were totally unaware of your worshipping us.

Whereupon they will fling at them the words: "You are liars."

But they will deny their worship of them, and become

opponents unto them.

Thereupon everyone shall taste the recompense of his past

deeds. All shall be sent back to Allah, their true Lord, and then all

the falsehoods they had fabricated will forsake them.

}-} And when those who associated others as partners with Allah will

see those to whom they ascribed this share, they will say: "Our Lord!

These are the beings to whom we ascribed a share in Your Divinity

and whom we called upon instead of You," whereupon those beings

will fling at them the words: "You are liars."

}67{ And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may be

a power and honour for them. Nay, but they will deny their

worship of them, and become opponents unto them.

}1{

He causes the night to phase into the day and the day into the

night, and He has subjected the sun and the moon, each running

its course to an appointed term. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him

belongs the Kingdom; but those whom you call upon, apart from

Allah, possess not so much as the skin of a date-stone. If you call

upon them, they cannot hear your prayer. And if they hear it,

they cannot answer it. On the Day of Resurrection they will

disown you for associating them with Allah as partners. No one

can inform you of the truth except the All-Aware.

}7{

What will such people do on the Day when the Lord will say:

"Now call upon all those whom you believed to be My

partners?" Thereupon they will call upon them, but they will not

respond to their call; and We shall put enmity between them.

The reply of the angels on the Day of Judgment

Witness of Prophet Jesus (PBUH) on the Day of Judgment

}1}47 And on the Day when He will muster them all and will ask the

angels: "Are they the ones who worshipped you?" They willreply: "Glory to You! You are our Protector, not they. Nay, they

rather used to worship the jinn. Most of them believed in them."

Today none of you has the power to benefit or harm another;

and We shall say to the evil-doers: "Taste now the chastisement

of the Fire which you used to deny, calling it a lie."

And Allah will judge with justice, whereas those whom they

call upon beside Him will not be in a position to judge at all.

And imagine when (on the Day of Judgment) Allah will say:

'Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people: "Take me and my

mother for gods beside Allah?" and he will answer: "Glory toYou! It was not for me to say what I had no right to. Had I said

so, You would surely have known it. You know all what is within

my mind whereas I do not know what is within Yours. You,

indeed know fully all that is hidden and unseen. I said to them

nothing except what You commanded me, that is: 'Serve Allah,

my Lord and your Lord.' I watched over them as long as I

remained among them; and when You took me up, then YouYourself were the Watcher over them. Indeed, You are Witness

over everything. If You chastise them, they are Your servants;

and if You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."

4}4{ Allah will judge with justice, whereas those whom they call upon

beside Him will not (be in a position) to judge at all. Surely Allah

and He alone is All- Hearing, All-Seeing.
