۞ 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 whoso bringeth the truth and believeth therein - Such are the dutiful. 33 They shall have whatsoever they will with their Lord; that is the recompense of the good-doers, 34 God will certainly expiate their bad deeds and reward them much more for what they have done. 35 Is not Allah enough for his Servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides Him! for such as Allah leaves to stray, there can be no guide. 36 But he whom Allah guides, none can lead astray. Is not Allah the Almighty, capable of retribution? 37 If you ask them: “Who created the heavens and the earth?” they will surely answer: “Allah.” Tell them: “What do you think, then, of the deities whom you call upon instead of Allah? If Allah should will that an affliction befall me, will those deities remove the harm inflicted by Him? Or if Allah should will that I receive (His) Mercy, will they be able to withhold His Mercy from me?” Say: “Allah is sufficient for me; those who have to put their trust, let them put their trust in Him. 38 Say, "My people, act as you wish. I shall do as I like and you will soon know 39 Who suffers the shameful punishment, and on whom falls the everlasting torment. 40 Verily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs. 41
