Chapter 16, Page 277, Juz 14

84. And (bethink you of) the day when we raise up of every nation a witness, then there is no leave for disbelievers, nor are they allowed to make amends. 85. And when those who did wrong behold the doom, it will not be made light for them, nor will they be reprieved. 86. And when those who ascribed partners to Allah behold those partners of theirs, they will say: Our Lord! these are our partners unto whom we used to cry instead of Thee. But they will fling to them the saying: Lo! ye verily are liars! 87. And they proffer unto Allah submission on that day, and all that they used to invent hath failed them. 88. For those who disbelieve and debar (men) from the way of Allah, We add doom to doom because they wrought corruption, 89. And (bethink you of) the day when We raise in every nation a witness against them of their own folk, and We bring thee (Muhammad) as a witness against these. And We reveal the Scripture unto thee as an exposition of all things, and a guidance and a mercy and good tidings for those who have surrendered (to Allah).
