۞ 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 And those who brought this truth and those who testify for it – these are the pious. 33 Theirs will be whatsoever they will desire with their Lord: that is the hire of the well-doers. 34 that Allah may acquit them of the worst of what they did, and recompense with the finest wages for what they did. 35 Is it not that Allah suffices His worshiper, even though they frighten you with those other than Him? He whom Allah leads astray has no guide. 36 But he whom Allah guides, none can lead astray. Is not Allah the Almighty, capable of retribution? 37 If you ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely reply, "God." Say, "Consider those you invoke besides Him: if God wished to harm me, could they undo that harm? Or if God wished to show me mercy, could they withhold that mercy?" Say, "God is sufficient for me. In Him let the faithful put their trust." 38 Say thou: my nation! work according to your condition; I am going to work in my way; presently ye shall come to know. 39 who will suffer a humiliating torment and on whom will descend an everlasting punishment." 40 Indeed, We sent down to you the Book for the people in truth. So whoever is guided - it is for [the benefit of] his soul; and whoever goes astray only goes astray to its detriment. And you are not a manager over them. 41
