أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنْتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا
43. Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ ۚ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا
44. Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.
قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ
71. They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."
قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ
72. He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?
قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
74. They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."
قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
75. He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,
أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ
76. You and your ancient forefathers?
وَلَا تُطِيعُوا أَمْرَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ
151. And do not obey the order of the transgressors,
الَّذِينَ يُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ
152. Who cause corruption in the land and do not amend."
أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونَا ۚ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
4. Or do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us? Evil is what they judge.
