۞ And who could be more wicked than he who invents lies about God? and gives the lie to the truth as soon as it has been placed before him? Is not hell the [proper] abode for all who deny the truth? 32 Those who have brought the truth and have acknowledged it are those who have fear of God. 33 They shall have what they will of their Lord's bounty. That is the reward of the good: 34 God will certainly expiate their bad deeds and reward them much more for what they have done. 35 Is not God sufficient for His devotee? Still they frighten you with others apart from Him. Whoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way. 36 And none can lead him astray who has been guided by God. Is not God all-mighty, the lord of retribution? 37 If you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they will answer: "God." Say: "Then just think. Can those whom you worship apart from God remove the distress God is pleased to visit upon me, or withhold a blessing God is pleased to favour me with?' Say: "God is all-sufficient for me. The trusting place their trust in Him." 38 Say, "My people, act as you wish. I shall do as I like and you will soon know 39 To whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment." 40 Verily We! We have sent down unto thee the Book for mankind? with truth. Then whosoever receiveth guidance, it is for his soul and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt; and thou art not over them a trustee. 41
