35 And of gold. And all this is naught but a provision of this world’s life; and the Hereafter is with thy Lord only for the dutiful. |
36 And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance of the Beneficent, We appoint for him a devil, so he is his associate. |
37 And surely they hinder them from the (right) path, and they think that they are guided aright. |
38 Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that between me and thee there were the distance of the East and the West! so evil is the associate! |
39 And as you did wrong, it will profit you naught this day that you are sharers in the chastisement. |
40 Canst thou then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error? |
41 So if We take thee away, still We shall exact retribution from them, |
42 Or We shall show thee that which We promise them — surely We are Possessors of power over them. |
43 So hold fast to that which has been revealed to thee; surely thou art on the right path. |
44 And surely it is a reminder for thee and thy people, and you will be questioned. |
45 And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent? |
46 And truly We sent Moses with Our messages to Pharaoh and his chiefs, so he said: I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds. |
47 But when he brought them Our signs, lo! they laughed at them. |
48 And We showed them not a sign but it was greater than its fellow, and We seized them with chastisement that they might turn. |
49 And they said: O enchanter, call on thy Lord for us, as He has made the covenant with thee; we shall surely follow guidance. |
50 But when We removed from them the chastisement, lo! they broke the pledge. |
