۞ 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 He who brings the truth and verifies it, -- such are the people who are God-fearing. 33 They shall have what they will of their Lord's bounty. That is the reward of the good: 34 That God may absolve them of their sins and reward them for the best that they had done. 35 Is not God sufficient for His devotee? Still they frighten you with others apart from Him. Whoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way. 36 But he whom Allah guides, none can lead astray. Is not Allah the Almighty, capable of retribution? 37 If thou askest them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' they will say, 'God.' Say: 'What think you? That you call upon apart from God -- if God desires affliction for me, shall they remove His affliction? Or if He desires mercy for me, shall they withhold His mercy?' Say: 'God is enough for me; in Him all those put their trust who put their trust.' 38 Say: 'My people, act according to your station; I am acting; and soon you will know 39 To whom will come a torment disgracing him and on whom will descend an enduring punishment." 40 [O Prophet!] We have sent down to you the Book for mankind with the truth. Then whoever adopts the right way, will do so for his own soul, and whoever goes astray, injures his own soul. You are not their custodian. 41
