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 those devils prevent them from the Straight Path, and they think they are on guidance! 37 To the extent that when the disbeliever will be brought to Us, he will say to his devil, “Alas – if only there was the distance* of east and west, between you and me!” – so what an evil companion** he is! (* Had I not listened to you. **They will be bound together in chains.) 38 It will be said [to such a person], "You have done wrong. Having partners in punishment will be of no avail to you today." 39 What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error? 40 And even if We take you (O Muhammad SAW) away, We shall indeed 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 So, hold fast to the Book that has been revealed to you, you are surely on the right path, 43 Verily it is a great source of eminence for you and your people, and soon you will be called to account concerning that. 44 And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped? 45
