۞ 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 he who brings the truth and (he who) accepts it as the truth-- these are they that guard (against evil). 33 They shall have what they will of their Lord's bounty. That is the reward of the good: 34 that God may acquit them of the worst of what they did, and recompense them with the wages of the fairest of what they were doing. 35 IS NOT God enough for His servant? And yet, they would frighten thee with those [imaginary divine powers which they worship] beside Him! But he whom God lets go astray can never find any guide, 36 And none can lead him astray who has been guided by God. Is not God all-mighty, the lord of retribution? 37 If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust." 38 Say thou: my nation! work according to your condition; I am going to work in my way; presently ye shall come to know. 39 to whom will come a chastisement degrading him, and upon whom lights a lasting chastisement.' 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
