He who is negligent to remember the Merciful One, to him We assign a satan as his boon companion, 36 Devils divert men from the [right] way, while they think that they are rightly guided. 37 Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that between me and you there were the distance of the East and the West; so evil is the associate! 38 (It will be said to them) “And you will not benefit from them this day, whereas you are unjust – for you are all partners in the punishment.” 39 (Muhammad), can you make the deaf hear or guide the blind or the one who is clearly in error? 40 We shall revenge them either after your death 41 Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability. 42 Hold thou fast wherefore to that which is revealed unto thee: verily thou art on the straight path. 43 And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned. 44 And ask thou Our apostles whom We sent before thee: appointed We gods, beside the Compassionate, to be worshipped? 45
