If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of (Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion to him. 36 And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided 37 Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "Oh, I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west - how wretched a companion." 38 But nothing will avail you on that day, for you were unjust, and you will be partners in the punishment. 39 Can you, (O Prophet), then make the deaf hear, or direct to the Right Way the blind or one lost in manifest error? 40 And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them, 41 Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability. 42 Follow devotedly that which is revealed to you. You are certainly on the right path. 43 And verily it is an admonition unto thee and thy people; and presently ye will be questioned. 44 Ask those of Our Messengers We sent before thee: Have We appointed, apart from the All-merciful, gods to be served? 45
