We shall attach to him who goes blind to the remembrance of Ar-Rahman a devil as companion, -- 36 And verily they hinder them from the way, whilst they deem that they are rightly guided. 37 Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that between me and you there were the distance of the East and the West; so evil is the associate! 38 When ye have done wrong, it will avail you nothing, that Day, that ye shall be partners in Punishment! 39 Wherefore canst thou make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is is error manifest? 40 We shall inflict retribution on them, whether We take you away from the world (before We do that), 41 Or show you what We have promised them – We therefore have complete control over them. 42 So, hold fast to the Book that has been revealed to you, you are surely on the right path, 43 It is a (source) of greatness for you and your people. You will surely be questioned about it. 44 Inquire of apostles We had sent before you if We appointed gods to be worshipped other than Ar-Rahman. 45
