31.And We have appointed angels (22), the wardens of the fire, and We have not fixed their numbers except as a trial for those who disbelieve (23), that those who have been given the Book (24) may become certain, and that the believers may increase in (25) faith. And those who have been given the Book as well, as all the believers may not be deceived (26). Those in whose hearts is a disease (27), and the infidels, may say: "What does Allah mean (28) by this example?" Thus does Allah let him err whom He Pleases, and He may guide (29) whom He Pleases. none knows (30) the forces of your Lord, but He Himself. And this is only a reminder to man.
