Al-An'am 6:26

<h2>The Polythiests Shall be Questioned About the Shirk They Committed</h2><p>About the polytheists, Allah said:</p><p>وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعاً</p><p>(And on the Day when We shall gather them all together,) This is on the Day of Resurrection, when He will ask them about the idols and rivals that they worshipped instead of Him.

Allah said next,</p><p>انظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ</p><p>(Look! How they lie against themselves!

And they forbid (men) from it and avoid it, and they ruin none save themselves, though they perceive not.

Others they keep away from it, and themselves they keep away; but they only destroy their own souls, and they perceive it not.

And they prevent others from him (from following Prophet Muhammad SAW) and they themselves keep away from him, and (by doing so) they destroy not but their ownselves, yet they perceive (it) not.

They keep others from it, and avoid it themselves; but they ruin only their own souls, and they do not realize.
