But those who deny Our verses are deaf and dumb within darknesses. Whomever Allāh wills - He sends astray; and whomever He wills - He puts him on a straight path.

بَلْ Nay إِيَّاهُ Him Alone تَدْعُونَ you call فَيَكْشِفُ and He would remove مَا what تَدْعُونَ you call إِلَيْهِ upon Him إِن if شَآءَ He wills وَتَنسَوْنَ and you will forget مَا what تُشْرِكُونَ you associate (with Him) ٤١

No, it is Him [alone] you would invoke, and He would remove that for which you invoked Him if He willed, and you would forget what you associate [with Him].
