And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion. 36 Satan will prevent them from the right path while they think that they have the right guidance. 37 And when he comes before Us, he shall say: 'Would that there had been between me and you, the distance of the two Easts' Evil is the companion. 38 But nothing will avail you on that day, for you were unjust, and you will be partners in the punishment. 39 What, will you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind and he who is in clear error? 40 Even if We take thee away, We shall be sure to exact retribution from 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 you (O Muhammad SAW) fast to that which is inspired in you. Verily, you are on a Straight 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 them – did any of the Noble Messengers We sent before you, appoint any other Gods except the Most Gracious, whom they used to worship? 45
