˹Watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, “Where are those you claimed were My associate-gods?” 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.” 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! And ˹watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, asking, “What response did you give to the messengers?” They will be too dumbstruck on that Day to ask one another ˹for answers˺. Quran 28:62~66 Surah Qasas (The Stories)
Surah al-Qasas [The Story] takes it name from being mentioned in [28:25],
‘Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness.
She said, “Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us.”
So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said,
“Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people.”
This Surah has 88 Ayat.

وَیَوۡمَ یُنَادِیهِمۡ فَیَقُولُ أَیۡنَ شُرَكَاۤءِیَ ٱلَّذِینَ كُنتُمۡ تَزۡعُمُونَ قَالَ ٱلَّذِینَ حَقَّ عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ رَبَّنَا هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ ٱلَّذِینَ أَغۡوَیۡنَاۤ أَغۡوَیۡنَـٰهُمۡ كَمَا غَوَیۡنَاۖ تَبَرَّأۡنَاۤ إِلَیۡكَۖ مَا كَانُوۤا۟ إِیَّانَا یَعۡبُدُونَ وَقِیلَ ٱدۡعُوا۟ شُرَكَاۤءَكُمۡ فَدَعَوۡهُمۡ فَلَمۡ یَسۡتَجِیبُوا۟ لَهُمۡ وَرَأَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَۚ لَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُوا۟ یَهۡتَدُونَ ویَوۡمَ یُنَادِیهِمۡ فَیَقُولُ مَاذَاۤ أَجَبۡتُمُ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِینَ فَعَمِیَتۡ عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۢبَاۤءُ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ فَهُمۡ لَا یَتَسَاۤءَلُونَ
The basic theme of this Surah is the prophethood. Some aspects of the life of Prophet Moses -peace be upon him- are mentioned to show the similarity between him and Prophet Muhammad – peace be upon all the prophets of Allah. There are also answers here to the questions and doubts that were raised by some non-believers.
اور (بھول نہ جائیں یہ لوگ) اُس دن کو جب کہ وہ اِن کو پکارے گا اور پوچھے گا "کہاں ہیں میرے وہ شریک جن کا تم گمان رکھتے تھے؟" یہ قول جن پر چسپاں ہو گا وہ کہیں گے "اے ہمارے رب، بے شک یہی لوگ ہیں جن کو ہم نے گمراہ کیا تھا، اِنہیں ہم نے اُسی طرح گمراہ کیا جیسے ہم خود گمراہ ہوئے ہم آپ کے سامنے براءت کا اظہار کرتے ہیں یہ ہماری تو بندگی نہیں کرتے تھے" پھر اِن سے کہا جائے گا کہ پکارو اب اپنے ٹھیرائے ہوئے شریکوں کو یہ انہیں پکاریں گے مگر وہ اِن کو کوئی جواب نہ دیں گے اور یہ لوگ عذاب دیکھ لیں گے کاش یہ ہدایت اختیار کرنے والے ہوتے اور (فراموش نہ کریں یہ لوگ) وہ دن جبکہ وہ اِن کو پکارے گا اور پوچھے گا کہ "جو رسول بھیجے گئے تھے انہیں تم نے کیا جواب دیا تھا؟" اُس وقت کوئی جواب اِن کو نہ سُوجھے گا اور نہ یہ آپس میں ایک دُوسرے سے پوچھ ہی سکیں گے
