If anyone withdraws himself from remembrance of (Allah) Most Gracious, We appoint for him an evil one, to be an intimate companion to him. 36 and they bar them from the way, and they think they are guided, 37 When such a person comes to Us, he will say [to his comrade], "If only you had been as far away from me as east is from west. What an evil comrade!" 38 It will be said [to such a person], "You have done wrong. Having partners in punishment will be of no avail to you today." 39 Wherefore canst thou make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is is error manifest? 40 So if We take you away, We shall then indeed take revenge from them. 41 Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability. 42 So hold fast to all that has been revealed to thee: for, behold, thou art on a straight way; 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 We sent before thee: Have We appointed, apart from the All-merciful, gods to be served? 45
