If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of (Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion to him. 36 and they bar them from the way, and they think they are guided, 37 And when he comes before Us, he shall say: 'Would that there had been between me and you, the distance of the two Easts' Evil is the companion. 38 When ye have done wrong, it will avail you nothing, that Day, that ye shall be partners in Punishment! 39 What, will you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind and he who is in clear error? 40 Whether We take thee away, We shall take vengeance upon them, 41 or make you see the end that We had promised them, for We have full power over them. 42 So hold thou fast unto that which has been revealed unto thee; surely thou art upon a straight path. 43 Surely it is a Reminder to thee and to thy people; and assuredly you will be questioned. 44 And ask them – did any of the Noble Messengers We sent before you, appoint any other Gods except the Most Gracious, whom they used to worship? 45
