And if they belie thee, say thou: unto me my work, and unto you your work: ye are quit of that which I work and I am quit of that which ye work. 41 And among them are those who listen to you. But can you cause the deaf to hear, although they will not use reason? 42 And some of them look unto thee; what, wilt thou then guide the blind, though they do not see? 43 Truly! Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves. 44 The Day when He will gather them, (it will be) as though they had lingered but an hour of the Day and they will recognize one another.
