And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade; 36 And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided 37 At length, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his evil companion): "Would that between me and thee were the distance of East and West!" Ah! evil is the companion (indeed)! 38 It shall not profit you today, since you did evil, that you are partners in 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 Even if We take you away from the world, We shall surely take vengeance on them 41 Or show you what We have promised them – We therefore have complete control over them. 42 So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path. 43 It is a (source) of greatness for you and your people. You will surely be questioned about it. 44 And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent? 45
