As for one who turns away from the remembrance of the Gracious God, We appoint for him a devil, who will become his intimate companion. 36 And indeed those devils prevent them from the Straight Path, and they think they are on guidance! 37 When he returns to us, he will say (to satan), "Would that there had been as long a distance between me and you as that between the East and West. What a terrible companion you have been". 38 It will be said [to such a person], "You have done wrong. Having partners in punishment will be of no avail to you today." 39 (Muhammad), can you make the deaf hear or guide the blind or the one who is clearly in error? 40 Whether We take thee away, We shall take vengeance upon them, 41 or show them to you suffering the torment with which We had threatened them. We are certainly dominant over them all. 42 So hold fast to what has been revealed to you. You are truly on the right path. 43 And it is undoubtedly an honour for you and your people; and you will soon be questioned. 44 And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped? 45
