Quran 14:21 (Ayah Ibrahim)
They (the people) will all appear before Allah (on the Day of Resurrection), and the lowly ˹followers˺ will appeal to the arrogant ˹leaders˺, “We were your ˹dedicated˺ followers, so will you ˹then˺ protect us from Allah’s torment in any way?” They will reply, “Had Allah guided us, we would have guided you. ˹Now˺ it is all the same for us whether we suffer patiently or impatiently, there is no escape for us.” Quran 14:21 Surah Ibrahim (Abraham)
Ibrahim (Arabic: إبراهيم, Ibrāhīm; Arabic synonym of “Abraham”) is the 14th chapter (surah) of the Qur’an with 52 verses (āyāt).

وَبَرَزُوا۟ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًۭا فَقَالَ ٱلضُّعَفَـٰٓؤُا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًۭا فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّغْنُونَ عَنَّا مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍۢ ۚ قَالُوا۟ لَوْ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ لَهَدَيْنَـٰكُمْ ۖ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْنَآ أَجَزِعْنَآ أَمْ صَبَرْنَا مَا لَنَا مِن مَّحِيصٍۢ ‏ ﴿۲۱﴾
The basic theme of the Surah is Allah’s guidance through His prophets. The purpose of this guidance is to take the people from darkness to light. Many people in the past had doubts about their prophets.They laughed at them and they threatened to kill them or expel them from their towns. However, the lasting word is the “good word.” The Surah also mentions Prophet Ibrahim’s prayer when he established the city of Makkah.
سورة إبراهیم اور یہ لوگ جب اکٹھے اللہ کے سامنے بے نقاب ہوں گے تو اُس وقت اِن میں سے جو دنیا میں کمزور تھے و ہ اُن لوگوں سے جو بڑے بنے ہوئے تھے، کہیں گے "دنیا میں ہم تمہارے تابع تھے، اب کیا تم اللہ کے عذاب سے ہم کو بچانے کے لیے بھی کچھ کرسکتے ہو؟“ وہ جواب دیں گے "اگر اللہ نے ہمیں نجات کی کوئی راہ دکھائی ہوتی تو ہم ضرور تمہیں بھی دکھا دیتے اب تو یکساں ہے کہ، ہم چیخیں چلائیں یا صبر کریں ، بہرحال ہمارے بچنے کی کوئی صورت نہیں" ﴿۲۱﴾
