Who is more wicked than the man who invents a falsehood about
Allah and denies the truth when it is declared to him? Is there not a

And he who brings the truth, and he who believes in it-they surely
are the God-fearing. Their Lord will give them all that they desire.
Thus shall the righteous be rewarded.
ThusAllah will do away with their foulest deeds and reward them
according to their noblest actions.
Is Allah not all-sufficient for His servant? Yet they threaten you
with those (gods) besides Him. Truly, he whomAllah leaves in error
has none to guide him. But he whom Allah guides, none can lead
astray. Is notAllahMighty, capable of retribution?

me, those you call upon besides Him could relieve my affliction; or

Say: 'Allah is my all-sufficient patron. In Him let the faithful put
their trust.'
Say: 'My people, do as best you can and so will I. You shall before
long know who will receive a punishment of shame, and who will be
overtaken by an everlasting punishment.'
We have revealed to you the Book in truth (for the instruction) of
mankind. He that follows the right path shall follow it to his own
advantage; and he that goes astray shall do so at his own peril. You are
