Surah Az-Zukhruf, Ayah 40 (43:40)
اَفَاَنۡتَ تُسۡمِعُ الصُّمَّ اَوۡ تَهۡدِى الۡعُمۡىَ وَمَنۡ كَانَ فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ ٤٠
English translation (Pickthall)
Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest?

وَمَنۡ يَّعۡشُ عَنۡ ذِكۡرِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ نُقَيِّضۡ لَهٗ شَيۡطٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهٗ قَرِيۡنٌ ٣٦
43:36And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade;
وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَيَصُدُّوۡنَهُمۡ عَنِ السَّبِيۡلِ وَيَحۡسَبُوۡنَ اَنَّهُمۡ مُّهۡتَدُوۡنَ ٣٧
43:37And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided;
حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يٰلَيۡتَ بَيۡنِىۡ وَبَيۡنَكَ بُعۡدَ الۡمَشۡرِقَيۡنِ فَبِئۡسَ الۡقَرِيۡنُ ٣٨
43:38Till, when he cometh unto Us, he saith (unto his comrade): Ah, would that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons - an evil comrade!
وَلَنۡ يَّنۡفَعَكُمُ الۡيَوۡمَ اِذْ ظَّلَمۡتُمۡ اَنَّكُمۡ فِى الۡعَذَابِ مُشۡتَرِكُوۡنَ ٣٩
43:39And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will be sharers in the doom.
اَفَاَنۡتَ تُسۡمِعُ الصُّمَّ اَوۡ تَهۡدِى الۡعُمۡىَ وَمَنۡ كَانَ فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ ٤٠
43:40Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest?
فَاِمَّا نَذۡهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَاِنَّا مِنۡهُمۡ مُّنۡتَقِمُوۡنَۙ ٤١
43:41And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them,
اَوۡ نُرِيَنَّكَ الَّذِىۡ وَعَدۡنٰهُمۡ فَاِنَّا عَلَيۡهِمۡ مُّقۡتَدِرُوۡنَ ٤٢
43:42Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have complete command of them.
فَاسۡتَمۡسِكۡ بِالَّذِىۡۤ اُوۡحِىَ اِلَيۡكَ ۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٍ ٤٣
43:43So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou art on a right path.
وَاِنَّهٗ لَذِكۡرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوۡمِكَ ۚ وَسَوۡفَ تُسۡـَٔـلُوۡنَ ٤٤
43:44And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned.
وَسۡـــَٔلۡ مَنۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ مِنۡ رُّسُلِنَاۤ اَجَعَلۡنَا مِنۡ دُوۡنِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ اٰلِهَةً يُّعۡبَدُوۡنَ ٤٥
43:45And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent?
وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوۡسٰى بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ اِلٰى فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَمَلَا۫ٮِٕهٖ فَقَالَ اِنِّىۡ رَسُوۡلُ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ٤٦
43:46And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ بِاٰيٰتِنَاۤ اِذَا هُمۡ مِّنۡهَا يَضۡحَكُوۡنَ ٤٧
43:47But when he brought them Our tokens, behold! they laughed at them.
وَمَا نُرِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ اٰيَةٍ اِلَّا هِىَ اَكۡبَرُ مِنۡ اُخۡتِهَا وَ اَخَذۡنٰهُمۡ بِالۡعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ ٤٨
43:48And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again.
وَقَالُوۡا يٰۤاَيُّهَ السَّاحِرُ ادۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِنۡدَكَۚ اِنَّنَا لَمُهۡتَدُوۡنَ ٤٩
43:49And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.
