اَفَرَاَیْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهُ هَوٰیهُ وَاَضَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلٰى سَمْعِهٖ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَجَعَلَ عَلٰى بَصَرِهٖ غِشَاوَةًؕ فَمَنْ یَهْدٖیهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ اللّٰهِؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Translations

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allah? Then will you not be reminded

Saheeh International

Hast thou seen him who maketh his desire his god, and Allah sendeth him astray purposely, and sealeth up his hearing and his heart, and setteth on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah (hath condemned him)? Will ye not then heed
