We shall make satan the companion of whoever ignores the remembrance of the Beneficent God. 36 And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided; 37 But in the end, when he [who has thus sinned] appears before us [on Judgment Day,] he will say [to his other self,] "Would that between me and thee there had been the distance of east and west!" for, evil indeed [has proved] that other self! 38 And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will be sharers in the doom. 39 What, will you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind and he who is in clear error? 40 And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them. 41 Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have complete command of them. 42 Hold thou fast wherefore to that which is revealed unto thee: verily thou art on the straight path. 43 And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned. 44 And question thou our messengers whom We sent before thee; did We appoint any deities other than (Allah) Most Gracious, to be worshipped? 45
