۞ 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 For them is whatever they wish, before their Lord; this is the reward of the virtuous. 34 So that Allah will turn off from them (even) the worst in their deeds and give them their reward according to the best of what they have done. 35 Is not Allah enough for his Servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides Him! for such as Allah leaves to stray, there can be no guide. 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 reply: 'Allah' Say: 'Do you think that, if Allah wills to afflict me those you call upon, other than Him, could remove His affliction, or, that if He wills to let me have mercy, they could withhold His Mercy' Say: 'Allah suffices me. Those who put their trust, put their trust in Him' 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 it is to whom comes a Penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a Penalty that abides." 40 Verily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs. 41
