He who is negligent to remember the Merciful One, to him We assign a satan as his boon companion, 36 Surely the (devils) obstruct them from the path, though they think they are rightly guided, -- 37 But when he comes to Us, he will say (to his satan): “Would that there had been between me and you the distance as between the East and the West. How evil a companion you were!” 38 (It will be said to them) “And you will not benefit from them this day, whereas you are unjust – for you are all partners in the punishment.” 39 Can you, (O Prophet), then make the deaf hear, or direct to the Right Way the blind or one lost in manifest error? 40 But if We should take you away, still We shall inflict retribution on them; 41 or make you see the end that We had promised them, for We have full power over them. 42 Follow devotedly that which is revealed to you. You are certainly on the right path. 43 And most surely it is a reminder for you and your people, and you shall soon be questioned. 44 And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped? 45
