To whosoever blinds himself from the Remembrance of the Merciful, We shall assign him a satan so he is his companion, 36 Satan will prevent them from the right path while they think that they have the right guidance. 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 it will profit you not today, because ye have done wrong, that ye are in the torment sharers. 39 Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest? 40 And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them. 41 Rather We will certainly show you that which We have promised them; for surely We are the possessors of full power over them. 42 Hold thou fast wherefore to that which is revealed unto thee: verily thou art on the straight path. 43 And it is undoubtedly an honour for you and your people; and you will soon be questioned. 44 Inquire of apostles We had sent before you if We appointed gods to be worshipped other than Ar-Rahman. 45
