canonical_text:
quote: On the day of the resurrection we will gather them altogether
summary: The passage describes the resurrection gathering, separation of idolaters
from their alleged companions, testimony against idolatrous worship, every soul
experiencing what it sent before, and the disappearance of false deities. It then
argues that God provides, governs, creates, returns creatures to himself, and
guides to truth. The Koran is presented as divine revelation confirming prior
scripture, and opponents are challenged to produce a chapter like it. Some believe
and some do not; the prophet is instructed to dissociate his work from that of
his accusers.
