45:23
أَفَرَأَيْتَ
مَنِ
اتَّخَذَ
إِلَهَهُ
هَوَاهُ
وَأَضَلَّهُ
اللَّهُ
عَلَى
عِلْمٍ
وَخَتَمَ
عَلَى
سَمْعِهِ
وَقَلْبِهِ
وَجَعَلَ
عَلَى
بَصَرِهِ
غِشَاوَةً
فَمَن
يَهْدِيهِ
مِن
بَعْدِ
اللَّهِ
أَفَلَا
تَذَكَّرُونَ
ʾa-fa-raʾayta mani ttakhadha ʾilāhahū hawāhu wa-ʾaḍallahu llāhu ʿalā ʿilmin wa-khatama ʿalā samʿihī wa-qalbihī wa-jaʿala ʿalā baṣarihī ghishāwatan fa-man yahdīhi min baʿdi llāhi ʾa-fa-lā tadhakkarūna
Have you seen the one who has chosen his desires as his lord? God has knowingly caused him to go astray, sealed his ears and heart and veiled his vision. Who besides God can guide him? Will they, then, not take heed?
