We shall make satan the companion of whoever ignores the remembrance of the Beneficent God. 36 Surely the (devils) obstruct them from the path, though they think they are rightly guided, -- 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 And it will profit you not today, because ye have done wrong, that ye are in the torment sharers. 39 Canst thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to the blind or to such as (wander) in manifest error? 40 And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them, 41 or make you see the end that We had promised them, for We have full power over them. 42 Therefore hold fast to what We have divinely revealed to you; indeed you are upon the Straight Path. (The Holy Prophets can never go astray). 43 And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned. 44 And ask thou Our apostles whom We sent before thee: appointed We gods, beside the Compassionate, to be worshipped? 45
