﴿ وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ شَهِيدًۭا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤْذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ ﴾
“But one Day We shall raise up a witness out of every community, whereupon they who were bent on denying the truth will not be allowed to plead [ignorance], and neither will they be allowed to make amends.”
(And (bethink you of) the day when We raise up of every nation) We take from every people (a witness) a prophet who testifies that he conveyed the message to them, (then there is no leave for disbelievers) to speak, (nor are they allowed to make amends) nor are they allowed to return to this worldly life.
