You will not be responsible for what I do and I will not be responsible for what you do". 41 And of them are some who hearken unto thee, so canst thou make the deaf hear, even though they apprehend not? 42 And there are among them such as [pretend to] look towards thee: but canst thou show the right way to the blind even though they cannot see? 43 Surely God wrongs not men anything, but themselves men wrong. 44 (But today they are oblivious of everything except enjoyment of worldly life.)
