Page 312 - Learning from the Qur'an

When those who associated others with Allah see those they
associated, they will say, 'Our Lord, these are our partner gods, the
ones we called upon apart from You.' But they will fling their
words back in their faces: 'You are truly liars!' On that Day they will
offer their submission to Allah and the things they invented will
abandon them. (Qur'an, 16:86-87)
On the Day He says, 'Call My partner-gods, those for whom you
made such claims,' they will call on them but they will not respond
to them. We will place between them an unbridgeable gulf.
(Qur'an, 18:52)
And call them to a halt. They will be asked: (Qur'an, 37:24)
On the Day when He summons them He will say, 'Where are they,
those you claimed were My associates?' Those against whom the
Word has been justly carried out will say, 'Our Lord, those people
we misled, we only misled them as we too were misled. We declare
our innocence to You. It was not us they were worshipping!' They
will be told, 'Call on your partner-gods!' They will call on them but
they will not respond to them. They will see the punishment. Oh
if only they had been guided! On the Day when He summons
them He will say, 'How did you respond to the Messengers?'
(Qur'an, 28:62-65)
On the Day when He summons them He will say, 'Where are they,
those you claimed to be My associates?' (Qur'an, 28:74)
They will be asked, 'Where are those you used to worship besides
Allah? Can they help you or even help themselves?' (Qur'an, 26:92-
93)
If only you could see when they are standing before their Lord. He
will say, 'Is this not the Truth?' They will say, 'Yes indeed, by our
Lord!' He will say, 'Then taste the punishment for your disbelief.'
(Qur'an, 6:30)
