Surah Al-Qasas 28:74

Rebuking the Idolators

This is another call by way of rebuke for those who worshipped other gods besides Allah. The Lord, may He be exalted, will call to them before all the witnesses, and will say:

(Where are My (so-called) partners, whom you used to assert) meaning, in this world.

(And We shall take out from every nation a witness,) Mujahid said, "This means a Messenger."

(and We shall say: "Bring your proof.") meaning, `of the truth of your claim that Allah had any partners.'

(Then they shall know that the truth is with Allah,) meaning, that there is no god besides Him. Then they will not speak and they will not be able to find any answer.

(and the lies which they invented will disappear from them.) they will vanish and will be of no benefit to them.

Ayat ini menerangkan bahwa di hari Kiamat Allah akan memanggil orang-orang musyrik dan berkata kepada mereka, "Di mana sekutu-sekutu-Ku yang kalian anggap sebagai sekutu-Ku di dunia? Dapatkah mereka itu melepaskan kalian dari keadaan yang menghimpit sekarang ini." Sengaja orang musyrik dipanggil pada waktu itu untuk mengikrarkan suatu kesaksian atas penyembahan mereka selain dari Allah. Ini juga bertujuan supaya mereka mengetahui bahwa mempersekutukan Allah itu adalah sebab paling utama atas kemurkaan-Nya, sebagaimana mengesakan-Nya adalah sebab utama atas rida-Nya.
