We shall attach to him who goes blind to the remembrance of Ar-Rahman a devil as companion, -- 36 And most surely they turn them away from the path, and they think that they are guided aright: 37 Until when he cometh unto Us, he will say. Ah! would that there had been between me and thee, the distance of the east and the west an evil companion 38 It shall not profit you today, since you did evil, that you are partners in the chastisement. 39 So will you make the deaf listen or show the path to the blind, and to those who are in open error? (The disbelievers whose hearts are sealed, are deaf and blind to the truth). 40 We shall inflict retribution on them, whether We take you away from the world (before We do that), 41 Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have complete command of them. 42 So hold fast to all that has been revealed to thee: for, behold, thou art on a straight way; 43 Surely it is a Reminder to thee and to thy people; and assuredly you will be questioned. 44 Ask Our Messengers whom We sent before you if We have ever made gods, other than the Merciful, to be worshipped. 45
