Translation of Verse 61-75

61. Can those to whom We have made a fine promise -which they will see fulfilled-be like those who We have allowed to enjoy the pleasures of this worldly life, but on the Day of Judgment will be brought ˹for punishment˺?

62. ˹Watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, "Where are those you claimed were My associate-gods?"

63. Those ˹misleaders˺ against whom the decree ˹of torment˺ is justified will cry, "Our Lord! These ˹followers˺ are the ones we caused to deviate. We led them into deviance, for we ourselves were deviant. We disassociate ourselves ˹from them˺ before You. It was not us that they used to worship."

64. It will be said ˹to the disbelievers˺, "Call upon your associate-gods ˹for help˺." So they will call them, but will receive no response. And they will face the punishment, wishing they had been ˹rightly˺ guided!

65. And ˹watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, asking, "What response did you give to the messengers?"

66. They will be too dumbstruck on that Day to ask one another ˹for answers˺.

67. As for those who repent, believe, and do good ˹in this world˺, it is right to hope that they will be among the successful.

68. Your Lord creates and chooses whatever He wills-the choice is not theirs. Glorified and Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

69. And your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal.

70. He is Allah. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. All praise belongs to Him in this life and the next. All authority is His. And to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned.

71. Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, "Imagine if Allah were to make the night perpetual for you until the Day of Judgment, which god other than Allah could bring you sunlight? Will you not then listen?"

72. Ask ˹them also˺, "Imagine if Allah were to make the day perpetual for you until the Day of Judgment, which god other than Allah could bring you night to rest in? Will you not then see?"

73. It is out of His mercy that He has made for you the day and night so that you may rest ˹in the latter˺ and seek His bounty ˹in the former˺, and perhaps you will be grateful.

74. And ˹watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, "Where are those you claimed were My associate-gods?"

75. And We will bring forth a witness ⁸⁰⁵ from every faith-community and ask ˹the polytheists˺, "Show ˹Us˺ your proof." Then they will ˹come to˺ know that the truth is with Allah ˹alone˺. And whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.
