As for one who turns away from the remembrance of the Gracious God, We appoint for him a devil, who will become his intimate companion. 36 Surely the (devils) obstruct them from the path, though they think they are rightly guided, -- 37 At length, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says (to his evil companion): "Would that between me and thee were the distance of East and West!" Ah! evil is the companion (indeed)! 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 Canst thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to the blind or to such as (wander) in manifest error? 40 So if We take you away, We shall then indeed take revenge from them. 41 Rather We will certainly show you that which We have promised them; for surely We are the possessors of full power over them. 42 So hold thou fast unto that which has been revealed unto thee; surely thou art upon a straight path. 43 And most surely it is a reminder for you and your people, and you shall soon be questioned. 44 And ask thou Our apostles whom We sent before thee: appointed We gods, beside the Compassionate, to be worshipped? 45
