6:94
وَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَادَى كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّة ٍ وَتَرَكْتُمْ مَا خَوَّلْنَاكُمْ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِكُمْ وَمَا نَرَى مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ فِيكُمْ شُرَكَاءُ لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنكُمْ مَا كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
Wa Laqad Ji'tumūnā Furādá Kamā Khalaqnākum 'Awwala Marratin Wa Taraktum Mā Khawwalnākum Warā'a žuhūrikum Wa Mā Nará Ma`akum Shufa`ā'akumu Al-Ladhīna Za`amtum 'Annahum Fīkum Shurakā'u Laqad Taqaţţa`a Baynakum Wa Đalla `Ankum Mā Kuntum Taz`umūna
"And you have come to Us individually, just as We had created you the first time; and you have left behind you all that We have provided for you; and We do not see your intercessors with you that you used to claim were with you in partnership; all is severed between you, and what you have claimed has abandoned you."
17:56
قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِه ِِ فَلاَ يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنكُمْ وَلاَ تَحْوِيلا ً
Quli Ad`ū Al-Ladhīna Za`amtum Min Dūnihi Falā Yamlikūna Kashfa AĐ-Đurri `Ankum Wa Lā Taĥwīlāan
Say: "Call on those you have claimed besides Him. For they have no power to remove harm from you or shift it."
17:92
أَوْ تُسْقِطَ السَّمَاءَ كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفاً أَوْ تَأْتِيَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ قَبِيلا ً
'Aw Tusqiţa As-Samā'a Kamā Za`amta `Alaynā Kisafāan 'Aw Ta'tiya Billāhi Wa Al-Malā'ikati Qabīlāan
"Or that you make the heaven fall upon us in pieces as you claimed, or that you bring God and the angels before us."
18:48
وَعُرِضُوا عَلَى رَبِّكَ صَفّا ً لَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّة ٍ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَلَّنْ نَجْعَلَ لَكُمْ مَوْعِدا ً
Wa `UriĐū `Alá Rabbika Şaffāan Laqad Ji'tumūnā Kamā Khalaqnākum 'Awwala Marratin Bal Za`amtum 'Allan Naj`ala Lakum Maw`idāan
And they are displayed before your Lord as a column: "You have come to Us as We had created you the first time. No, you claimed We would not make for you an appointed time!"
18:52
وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَوْبِقا ً
Wa Yawma Yaqūlu Nādū Shurakā'iya Al-Ladhīna Za`amtum Fada`awhum Falam Yastajībū Lahum Wa Ja`alnā Baynahum Mawbiqāan
The Day when He says: "Call on your partners that you had claimed." So they called them, but they did not respond to them. And We made between them a barrier.
34:22
قُلْ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّة ٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيهِمَا مِنْ شِرْك ٍ وَمَا لَه ُُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ ظَهِير ٍ
Qul Ad`ū Al-Ladhīna Za`amtum Min Dūni Allāhi Lā Yamlikūna Mithqāla Dharratin Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Lā Fī Al-'ArĐi Wa Mā Lahum Fīhimā Min Shirkin Wa Mā Lahu Minhum Min žahīrin
Say: Call on those whom you have claimed besides God. They do not possess even the weight of an atom in the heavens, or the earth. They possess no partnership therein, nor is there for Him any assistant among them.
62:6
قُلْ يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ هَادُوا إِنْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ لِلَّهِ مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوْا الْمَوْتَ إِنْ كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
Qul Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna Hādū 'In Za`amtum 'Annakum 'Awliyā 'U Lillāhi Min Dūni An-Nāsi Fatamannaw Al-Mawta 'In Kuntum Şādiqīna
Say: O you who are Jewish, if you claim that you are the chosen of God, to the exclusion of all other people, then you should long for death if you are truthful!
64:7
زَعَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنْ لَنْ يُبْعَثُوا قُلْ بَلَى وَرَبِّي لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ وَذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِير ٌ
Za`ama Al-Ladhīna Kafarū 'An Lan Yub`athū Qul Balá Wa Rabbī Latub`athunna Thumma Latunabba'uunna Bimā `Amiltum Wa Dhalika `Alá Allāhi Yasīrun
Those who rejected claim that they will not be resurrected. Say: Yes, by my Lord, you will be resurrected, then you will be informed of everything you have done, and this is easy forGod to do.

4:60
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِه ِِ وَيُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلاَلا ً بَعِيدا ً
'Alam Tara 'Ilá Al-Ladhīna Yaz`umūna 'Annahum 'Āmanū Bimā 'Unzila 'Ilayka Wa Mā 'Unzila Min Qablika Yurīdūna 'An Yataĥākamū 'Ilá Aţ-Ţāghūti Wa Qad 'Umirū 'An Yakfurū Bihi Wa Yurīdu Ash-Shayţānu 'An YuĐillahum Đalālāan Ba`īdāan
Did you not see those who claimed they believed in what was sent down to you and what was sent before you? They wanted to seek judgment using evil, while they were ordered to reject it. It is the devil who wants to lead them far astray.
6:22
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعا ً ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا أَيْنَ شُرَكَاؤُكُمُ الَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
Wa Yawma Naĥshuruhum Jamī`āan Thumma Naqūlu Lilladhīna 'Ashrakū 'Ayna Shurakā'uukumu Al-Ladhīna Kuntum Taz`umūna
And the Day We gather them all, then We say to the polytheists: "Where are your partners whom you used to claim?"
6:94
وَلَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا فُرَادَى كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّة ٍ وَتَرَكْتُمْ مَا خَوَّلْنَاكُمْ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِكُمْ وَمَا نَرَى مَعَكُمْ شُفَعَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّهُمْ فِيكُمْ شُرَكَاءُ لَقَدْ تَقَطَّعَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنكُمْ مَا كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ

"And you have come to Us individually, just as We had created you the first time; and you have left behind you all that We have provided for you; and We do not see your intercessors with you that you used to claim were with you in partnership; all is severed between you, and what you have claimed has abandoned you."
28:62
وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
Wa Yawma Yunādīhim Fayaqūlu 'Ayna Shurakā'iya Al-Ladhīna Kuntum Taz`umūna
And on the Day when He calls upon them, saying: "Where are My partners whom you used to claim?"
28:74
وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
Wa Yawma Yunādīhim Fayaqūlu 'Ayna Shurakā'iya Al-Ladhīna Kuntum Taz`umūna
And the Day He will call them and say: "Where are My partners whom you had claimed?"

6:136
وَجَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَالأَنعَام نَصِيبا ً فَقَالُوا هَذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهَذَا لِشُرَكَائِنَا فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَائِهِمْ فَلاَ يَصِلُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَى شُرَكَائِهِمْ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
Wa Ja`alū Lillāhi Mimmā Dhara'a Mina Al-Ĥarthi Wa Al-'An`ām Naşībāan Faqālū Hādhā Lillāhi Biza`mihim Wa Hadhā Lishurakā'inā Famā Kāna Lishurakā'ihim Falā Yaşilu 'Ilá Allāhi Wa Mā Kāna Lillāhi Fahuwa Yaşilu 'Ilá Shurakā'ihim Sā'a Mā Yaĥkumūna
And they made for God a portion of what He provided them from the crops and the livestock; they said: "This is for God," by their claims, "And this is for our partners." So what was for their partners did not reach God, and what was for God, it reached their partners! Miserable is how they judged.
6:138
وَقَالُوا هَذِهِ~ِ أَنْعَام ٌ وَحَرْثٌ حِجْر ٌ لاَ يَطْعَمُهَا إِلاَّ مَنْ نَشَاءُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَأَنْعَامٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُورُهَا وَأَنْعَام ٌ لاَ يَذْكُرُونَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا افْتِرَاءً عَلَيْهِ سَيَجْزِيهِمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ
Wa Qālū Hadhihi 'An`āmun Wa Ĥarthun Ĥijrun Lā Yaţ`amuhā 'Illā Man Nashā'u Biza`mihim Wa 'An`āmun Ĥurrimat žuhūruhā Wa 'An`āmun Lā Yadhkurūna Asma Allāhi `Alayhā Aftirā'an `Alayhi Sayajzīhim Bimā Kānū Yaftarūna
And they said: "These livestock and crops are reserved, and none shall eat from them except as we please," by their claims; and livestock whose backs are unlawful, and livestock over which they do not mention the name of God as an innovation against Him. He will recompense them for what they invented.

They said: "We are missing the measuring bowl of the king, and whoever can produce it, will be given the load of a camel; and I will be bound by this."
