He who is negligent to remember the Merciful One, to him We assign a satan as his boon companion, 36 And indeed those devils prevent them from the Straight Path, and they think they are on 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 (He will then be told): “Today it will not benefit you the least that after your wrong-doing you and your satans now share the chastisement.” 39 Wherefore canst thou make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is is error manifest? 40 So if We take you away, We shall then indeed take revenge from them. 41 or We show thee a part of that We promised them, surely We have power over them. 42 Hold thou fast wherefore to that which is revealed unto thee: verily thou art on the straight path. 43 Surely it is a Reminder to thee and to thy people; and assuredly you will be questioned. 44 And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped? 45
