And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allah) (i.e. this Quran and worship of Allah), We appoint for him Shaitan (Satan - devil) to be a Qarin (an intimate companion) to him. 36 And verily they hinder them from the way, whilst they deem that they are rightly guided. 37 When he returns to us, he will say (to satan), "Would that there had been as long a distance between me and you as that between the East and West. What a terrible companion you have been". 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 Wherefore canst thou make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is is error manifest? 40 And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them. 41 Rather We will certainly show you that which We have promised them; for surely We are the possessors of full power over them. 42 So hold thou fast unto that which has been revealed unto thee; surely thou art upon a straight path. 43 And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned. 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
