۞ But who does greater evil than he who lies against God and cries lies to the very truth, when it comes to him? Is there not in Gehenna a lodging for the unbelievers? 32 And whoso bringeth the truth and believeth therein - Such are the dutiful. 33 They will receive whatever they want from their Lord. Thus is the reward of the righteous ones. 34 God will certainly expiate their bad deeds and reward them much more for what they have done. 35 Will not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide. 36 but he whom God guides cannot be led astray by anyone. Is God not mighty and capable of retribution? 37 And should you ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth? They would most certainly say: Allah. Say: Have you then considered that what you call upon besides Allah, would they, if Allah desire to afflict me with harm, be the removers of His harm, or (would they), if Allah desire to show me mercy, be the withholders of His mercy? Say: Allah is sufficient for me; on Him do the reliant rely. 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 To whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment." 40 We have indeed sent down this Book to you with the truth, in order to guide mankind; so whoever attains guidance has attained it is for his own good, and whoever strays, has strayed for his own harm; and you are not at all responsible for them. 41
