We shall make satan the companion of whoever ignores the remembrance of the Beneficent God. 36 And indeed those devils prevent them from the Straight Path, and they think they are on guidance! 37 Until when he cometh unto Us, he will say. Ah! would that there had been between me and thee, the distance of the east and the west an evil companion 38 But nothing will avail you on that day, for you were unjust, and you will be partners in the punishment. 39 What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error? 40 We shall punish them whether We take you away, 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 indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned. 44 Ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before you, "Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent One?" 45
