Surah Al-Jathiyah (The Kneeling), Verse 23

اَفَرَءَیْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُ وَاَضَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی عِلْمٍ وَّخَتَمَ عَلٰی سَمْعِهٖ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَجَعَلَ عَلٰی بَصَرِهٖ غِشٰوَةً فَمَنْ یَّهْدِیْهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ اللّٰهِ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ ۟

Afara'ayta manit takhaza ilaahahoo hawaahu wa adal lahul laahu 'alaa 'ilminw wa khatama 'alaa sam'ihee wa qalbihee wa ja'ala 'alaa basarihee ghishaawatan famany yahdeehi mim ba'dil laah; afalaa tazakkaroon

Then seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain desire? Allah has, knowing (him as such), left him astray, and sealed his hearing and his heart (and understanding), and put a cover on his sight. Who, then, will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn Guidance)? Will ye not then receive admonition?
