۞ And who could be more wicked than he who invents lies about God? and gives the lie to the truth as soon as it has been placed before him? Is not hell the [proper] abode for all who deny the truth? 32 But he who brought the Truth, and those who confirmed it as true, such are the ones who shall be guarded against the chastisement. 33 Theirs will be whatsoever they will desire with their Lord: that is the hire of the well-doers. 34 That Allah will remit from them the worst of what they did, and will pay them for reward the best they used to do. 35 Is not Allah sufficient for His bondman? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him? And whomsoever Allah sendeth astray, for him there shall be no guide. 36 And no one can mislead whomever Allah guides; is not Allah the Most Honourable, the Avenger? 37 And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allah." Say, "Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? If Allah intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?" Say, "Sufficient for me is Allah; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers." 38 Say: "O my [truth-denying] people! Do yet all that may be within your power, [whereas] I, behold, shall labour [in God's way]: in time you will come to know 39 “To whom will come a punishment that will disgrace, and upon whom descends the punishment that never ends.” 40 Surely We have sent down upon thee the Book for mankind with the truth. Whosoever is guided, is only guided to his own gain, and whosoever goes astray, it is only to his own loss; thou art not a guardian over them. 41
