۞ And who is a greater wrong-doer than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah, and belieth the truth when it cometh unto him? Will not in Hell be an abode for the infidels? 32 And the one who has brought the truth and [they who] believed in it - those are the righteous. 33 For them is whatever they wish, before their Lord; this is the reward of the virtuous. 34 That God may absolve them of their sins and reward them for the best that they had done. 35 Will not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide. 36 And none can lead him astray who has been guided by God. Is not God all-mighty, the lord of retribution? 37 And verily, if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" Surely, they will say: "Allah (has created them)." Say: "Tell me then, the things that you invoke besides Allah, if Allah intended some harm for me, could they remove His harm, or if He (Allah) intended some mercy for me, could they withhold His Mercy?" Say: "Sufficient for me is Allah; in Him those who trust (i.e. believers) must put their trust." 38 Say: "O my [truth-denying] people! Do yet all that may be within your power, [whereas] I, behold, shall labour [in God's way]: in time you will come to know 39 upon whom the punishment will come that will degrade him, and who will be overtaken by an everlasting punishment' 40 Lo! We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for mankind with truth. Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt. And thou art not a warder over them. 41
