۞ 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 whoso bringeth the truth and believeth therein - Such are the dutiful. 33 They will have whatever they desire with their Lord. That is the reward of the doers of good - 34 God will efface their worst deeds from their record and give them their reward in accordance with the best of their actions. 35 Is not Allah sufficient for His bondman? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him? And whomsoever Allah sendeth astray, for him there shall be no guide. 36 but he whom God guides cannot be led astray by anyone. Is God not mighty and capable of retribution? 37 If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust." 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 Surely We have sent down upon thee the Book for mankind with the truth. Whosoever is guided, is only guided to his own gain, and whosoever goes astray, it is only to his own loss; thou art not a guardian over them. 41
