But can you cause the deaf to hear, although they will not use reason? 42 Some of them look toward you: But can you show the blind the way even when they cannot see? 43 Surely Allah does not wrong men; they rather wrong themselves. 44 One day He will gather them together: (It will be) as if they had tarried but an hour of a day: they will recognise each other: assuredly those will be lost who denied the meeting with Allah and refused to receive true guidance. 45 Whether We show you something of what We have promised them or cause you to die [before that], to Us they shall return.
