Those who belie Our verses are deaf and dumb, in darkness. Allah leaves in error whom He will, and guides to the Straight Path whom He pleases. (39)

Say: 'Do you see yourselves when the punishment of Allah smites you or the Hour overtakes you, will you call on any except Allah, if you are truthful? (40)

No, on Him alone you will call, and He will remove that for which you call upon Him, if He will. Then you will forget what you associate (with Him). (41)

Before you We sent forth to other nations, and then seized them with misery and hardship so that they might humble themselves. (42)

If only they humbled themselves when Our scourge overtook them! But their hearts were hardened, and satan decorated to them what they were doing. (43)

And when they had forgotten that with which they have been admonished, We opened the gates of everything to them, until just as they were rejoicing in what they were given, We suddenly seized them and they were in utter despair. (44)

As such the harmdoers were annihilated. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds! (45)

Say: 'What would you see if Allah took away your hearing and your sight, and set a seal upon your hearts, who is a god, other than Allah, to bring it back to you? ' Look how We make plain to them Our verses, and yet they turn away. (46)

Say: 'What do you see yourselves then, if the punishment of Allah overtook you suddenly or openly, would any perish but the harmdoing nation? ' (47)

We send forth Our Messengers only to give glad tidings to mankind and to warn them. Those who believe and mend their ways shall have nothing to fear or to be saddened. (48)
