۞ 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 But he who brought the Truth, and those who confirmed it as true, such are the ones who shall be guarded against the chastisement. 33 They shall have whatever they want with their Lord, that is the recompense of the gooddoers, 34 So that Allah may remit from them the evil of what they did and give them the reward, according to the best of what they used to do. 35 Is it not that Allah suffices His worshiper, even though they frighten you with those other than Him? He whom Allah leads astray has no guide. 36 whereas he whom God guides aright can never be led astray. Is not God almighty, an avenger of evil? 37 If you ask them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they will answer: "God." Say: "Then just think. Can those whom you worship apart from God remove the distress God is pleased to visit upon me, or withhold a blessing God is pleased to favour me with?' Say: "God is all-sufficient for me. The trusting place their trust in Him." 38 Say: 'My people, act according to your station; I am acting; and soon you will know 39 upon whom the punishment will come that will degrade him, and who will be overtaken by an everlasting punishment' 40 Verily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs. 41
