We shall attach to him who goes blind to the remembrance of Ar-Rahman a devil as companion, -- 36 and they bar them from the way, and they think they are guided, 37 But when he comes to Us, he will say (to his satan): “Would that there had been between me and you the distance as between the East and the West. How evil a companion you were!” 38 And since you were unjust, it will not profit you this day that you are sharers in the chastisement. 39 What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error? 40 But whether We do [or do not] take thee away [ere thy message prevails] - verily, We shall inflict Our retribution on them; 41 Or show you some of what We have promised them. They are certainly well within Our power. 42 So hold fast to all that has been revealed to thee: for, behold, thou art on a straight way; 43 And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned. 44 And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent? 45
