۞ And who could be more wicked than he who invents lies about God? and gives the lie to the truth as soon as it has been placed before him? Is not hell the [proper] abode for all who deny the truth? 32 And those who brought this truth and those who testify for it – these are the pious. 33 For them is whatever they wish, before their Lord; this is the reward of the virtuous. 34 So that Allah may relieve them of their worst deeds, and reward them for the best deeds they had done. 35 Is it not that Allah suffices His worshiper, even though they frighten you with those other than Him? He whom Allah leads astray has no guide. 36 And whomsoever Allah guides, for him there will be no misleader. Is not Allah All-Mighty, Possessor of Retribution? 37 And verily, if thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say: Allah. Say: Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me, could they restrain His mercy? Say: Allah is my all. In Him do (all) the trusting put their trust. 38 Say, "O my people, work according to your position, [for] indeed, I am working; and you are going to know 39 "Who it is to whom comes a Penalty of ignominy, and on whom descends a Penalty that abides." 40 We have indeed sent down this Book to you with the truth, in order to guide mankind; so whoever attains guidance has attained it is for his own good, and whoever strays, has strayed for his own harm; and you are not at all responsible for them. 41
