۞ 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 And the one who has brought the truth and [they who] believed in it - those are the righteous. 33 They shall have from their Lord all that they wish for. That is the reward of those that do good, 34 So that Allah will do away with the worst of what they did and give them their reward for the best of what they do. 35 Shall not God suffice His servant, though they frighten thee with those apart from Him? And whomsoever God leads astray, no guide has he. 36 But whomso God guides, none shall lead him astray; is not God All-mighty, All-vengeful? 37 If thou askest them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' they will say, 'God.' Say: 'What think you? That you call upon apart from God -- if God desires affliction for me, shall they remove His affliction? Or if He desires mercy for me, shall they withhold His mercy?' Say: 'God is enough for me; in Him all those put their trust who put their trust.' 38 Say, "My people, do whatever is in your power -- and so will I. Soon you shall come to know 39 upon whom the punishment will come that will degrade him, and who will be overtaken by an everlasting punishment' 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
