Surah Al-Qasas
وَنَزَعْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلَّهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ
Wa naza‘nā min kulli ummatin syahīdan faqulnā hātū burhānakum fa‘alimū annal-ḥaqqa lillāhi wa ḍalla ‘anhum mā kānū yaftarūn(a).
And We will extract from every nation a witness and say, "Produce your proof," and they will know that the truth belongs to Allah, and lost from them is that which they used to invent.
