they knew it!
When they meet the faithful, they declare: 'We, too, believe.' But
when they are alone with their devils, they say to them: 'We follow
none but you: we were only mocking.' Allah will mock at them and
keep them long in sin, blundering blindly along.
Such are those that barter away guidance for error: they profit
nothing, nor are they on the right path. They are like one who kindled a
fire, but as soon as it lit up all around him, Allah took away their light
and left them in darkness-they could not see. Deaf, dumb, and blind,
they shall never return (to the right path).
Or like those who, under a cloudburst from the sky with darkness,
thunder and lightning, thrust their fingers in their ears at the sound of
every thunder-clap for fear of death: and Allah thus encompasses the
unbelievers. The lightning almost takes away their sight: whenever it
flashes upon them they walk on, but as soon as it darkens they stand
still. Indeed, if Allah pleased, He could take away their sight and
hearing: He has power over all things.
O Men, serve your Lord, who has created you and those who have
gone before you, so that you may guard yourselves against evil; who
has made the earth a bed for you and the sky a dome, and has sent down
water from the sky to bring forth fruits for your sustenance. Do not
knowingly set up other gods beside Him.
If you are in doubt of whatWe have revealed to Our Servant, produce
one chapter comparable to it. Call upon your helpers besides God to
assist you, if what you say be true. But if you fail, as you are sure to fail,
