He who is negligent to remember the Merciful One, to him We assign a satan as his boon companion, 36 And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided; 37 But in the end, when he [who has thus sinned] appears before us [on Judgment Day,] he will say [to his other self,] "Would that between me and thee there had been the distance of east and west!" for, evil indeed [has proved] that other self! 38 Because of the harm you did, it would be of no benefit to you today, you are partners in the punishment. 39 What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error? 40 So if We take you away, We shall then indeed take revenge from them. 41 or We show thee a part of that We promised them, surely We have power over them. 42 So hold thou fast to the Revelation sent down to thee; verily thou art on a Straight Way. 43 The Quran is a reminder to you and to your people and you will soon be questioned about it. 44 And ask thou Our apostles whom We sent before thee: appointed We gods, beside the Compassionate, to be worshipped? 45
