And whoever is averse to the Remembrance of the Most Gracious, We appoint a devil upon him, who stays with him. 36 Satan will prevent them from the right path while they think that they have the right guidance. 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 They will be told on the Day of Judgment, "Regret will never be of any benefit to you. You have done injustice to your souls and you will share the torment". 39 Canst thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to the blind or to such as (wander) in manifest error? 40 But if We should take you away, still We shall inflict retribution on them; 41 and whether We show thee [or do not show thee in this world] the fulfillment of what We have promised them - verily, We have full power over them! 42 So hold fast to what has been revealed to you. Surely you are on the Straight Way. 43 And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned. 44 And ask those of Our apostles whom We sent before you: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah? 45
