And whosoever blindeth himself to the admonition of the Compassionate, We assign unto him a satan, and he becometh his companion. 36 And indeed those devils prevent them from the Straight Path, and they think they are on guidance! 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 And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will be sharers in the doom. 39 What, will you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind and he who is in clear error? 40 Whether We take thee away, We shall take vengeance upon them, 41 or make you see the end that We had promised them, for We have full power over them. 42 So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path. 43 Verily it is a great source of eminence for you and your people, and soon you will be called to account concerning that. 44 And ask thou Our apostles whom We sent before thee: appointed We gods, beside the Compassionate, to be worshipped? 45
