And if they reject you as false, tell them: 'My deeds are for myself and your deeds for yourselves. You will not be held responsible for my deeds, nor I for your deeds. 41 Some of them appear to be listening to you; but can you make the deaf hear, incapable as they are of understanding? 42 And of them some look towards you; will you, then, guide the blind, even though they can see nothing? 43 Verily, God does not do the least wrong unto men, but it is men who wrong themselves. 44 And on the day when He will gather them as though they had not stayed but an hour of the day, they will know each other.

Once their messenger has come, judgement will be passed upon them in all fairness and they will not be wronged. 47 They say:'If what you promise is true, when will this threat be fulfilled?' 48 Tell them: 'I have no power to harm or benefit even myself, except what Allah may will.

(It will then be said): 'Ah! now? and ye wanted (aforetime) to hasten it on!' 51 Thereafter, it will be said unto those who wronged themselves: taste the torment everlasting: ye are requited not save for that which ye have been earning. 52 They ask you if what you say is true? Tell them: 'Yes, by my Lord, this is altogether true, and you have no power to prevent the chastisement from befalling.' 53
