The Holy Quran 16:27 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

ثُمَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَـٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمْ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ إِنَّ ٱلْخِزْىَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Translation

(Furthermore, in the Aakhirah) Then He shall humiliate them on the Day of Qiyaamah and ask, "Where are those partners of Mine (your gods) that you used to argue about (with the Mu'mineen with such force)?" (They will have no answer to give because their gods will be unable to assist them. Seeing this predicament of the Kaafiroon,) Those who are granted knowledge (the Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام and Mu'mineen) will say, "Today humiliation and misfortune are certainly the lot of the Kaafiroon!"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Addressing the disbelievers in the Hereafter: that is, where today are those partners for whose sake you always argued and quarrelled with Our prophets? Why do they not come to your aid? هَلْ يَنْصُرُوْنَكُمْ اَوْ يَنْتَصِرُوْنَ “Can they help you, or help themselves?” (Surah Ash-Shu'ara, ruku' (section) 5).
