Ah! would that there had been between me and thee, the distance of the east and the west an evil companion 38 They will be told on the Day of Judgment, "Regret will never be of any benefit to you. You have done injustice to your souls and you will share the torment". 39 What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error? 40 Whether We take thee away, We shall take vengeance upon them, 41 Or show you some of what We have promised them. They are certainly well within Our power. 42 Hold thou fast wherefore to that which is revealed unto thee: verily thou art on the straight path. 43 it is certainly a reminder to you and to your people and you will soon be called to account. 44 And ask those of Our apostles whom We sent before you: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah? 45
