اَفَرَاَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهُ هَوٰيهُ وَاَضَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلٰى سَمْعِه۪ وَقَلْبِه۪ وَجَعَلَ عَلٰى بَصَرِه۪ غِشَاوَةًۜ فَمَنْ يَهْد۪يهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ اللّٰهِۜ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٢٣

English Translation
23Do you see this person who has taken his own desires and whims as his god, who turns away despite knowing the truth, and so has closed his ears and heart to Allah's messages, drawn a veil over his eyes, and chosen misguidance? Who besides Allah could guide such a person to the right path? Will you still not reflect and take a lesson?
