We shall attach to him who goes blind to the remembrance of Ar-Rahman a devil as companion, -- 36 Surely the (devils) obstruct them from the path, though they think they are rightly guided, -- 37 At length, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his evil companion): "Would that between me and thee were the distance of East and West!" Ah! evil is the companion (indeed)! 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 Whether We take thee away, We shall take vengeance upon them, 41 or We show you a part of that which We have promised them, for indeed We have power over them. 42 So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou art on a right path. 43 And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned. 44 And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped? 45
