34:40 On the Day when He gathers them all together, then He will say to the angels, “Was it you that they used to worship?”

34:41 They will say, “Glory be to You! You are our Protector, not they. Rather they used to worship the jinn[1]; most of them believed in them.”

34:42 So Today none of you has the power to benefit or harm one another. And We will say to the wrongdoers, “Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny!”

34:43 When Our clear verses are recited to them, they say, “This is nothing but a man who wishes to turn you away from what your forefathers used to worship.” And they say, “This is nothing but a fabricated lie.” And the disbelievers say about the Truth when it comes to them, “This is nothing but clear magic,”

34:44 even though We did not give them any scriptures to study, nor did We send them any warner before you.

34:45 Those who came before them also rejected [the truth], while these [Makkans] have not been given even one-tenth of what We had given those [earlier nations], yet they rejected My messengers; how severe was My response!

34:46 Say [O Prophet], “I only advise you to do one thing: stand up for Allah, in pairs and individually, then reflect. There is no madness in your companion[1]; he is but a warner to you ahead of a severe punishment.”

34:47 Say, “If I had ever asked you for a reward, it is yours. My reward is only with Allah, and He is Witness over all things.”

34:48 Say, “My Lord hurls the Truth [against falsehood], and He is the All-Knower of the unseen.”
