أَفَلا يَتَدَبَّرونَ القُرآنَ أَم عَلىٰ قُلوبٍ أَقفالُها

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?

إِنَّ الَّذينَ ارتَدّوا عَلىٰ أَدبارِهِم مِن بَعدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الهُدَى ۙ الشَّيطانُ سَوَّلَ لَهُم وَأَملىٰ لَهُم

Indeed, those who reverted back [to disbelief] after guidance had become clear to them - Satan enticed them and prolonged hope for them.

ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم قالوا لِلَّذينَ كَرِهوا ما نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ سَنُطيعُكُم في بَعضِ الأَمرِ ۖ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ إِسرارَهُم

That is because they said to those who disliked what Allah sent down, "We will obey you in part of the matter." And Allah knows what they conceal.

فَكَيفَ إِذا تَوَفَّتهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ يَضرِبونَ وُجوهَهُم وَأَدبارَهُم

Then how [will it be] when the angels take them in death, striking their faces and their backs?

ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اتَّبَعوا ما أَسخَطَ اللَّهَ وَكَرِهوا رِضوانَهُ فَأَحبَطَ أَعمالَهُم

That is because they followed what angered Allah and disliked [what earns] His pleasure, so He rendered worthless their deeds.

وَلَو نَشاءُ لَأَرَيناكَهُم فَلَعَرَفتَهُم بِسيماهُم ۚ وَلَتَعرِفَنَّهُم في لَحنِ القَولِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ أَعمالَكُم

And if We willed, We could show them to you, and you would know them by their mark; but you will surely know them by the tone of [their] speech. And Allah knows your deeds.

وَلَنَبلُوَنَّكُم حَتّىٰ نَعلَمَ المُجاهِدينَ مِنكُم وَالصّابِرينَ وَنَبلُوَ أَخبارَكُم

And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you [for the cause of Allah] and the patient, and We will test your affairs.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا وَصَدّوا عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ وَشاقُّوا الرَّسولَ مِن بَعدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الهُدىٰ لَن يَضُرُّوا اللَّهَ شَيئًا وَسَيُحبِطُ أَعمالَهُم

Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the path of Allah and opposed the Messenger after guidance had become clear to them - never will they harm Allah at all, and He will render worthless their deeds.

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا أَطيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعُوا الرَّسولَ وَلا تُبطِلوا أَعمالَكُم

O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and do not invalidate your deeds.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا وَصَدّوا عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ ماتوا وَهُم كُفّارٌ فَلَن يَغفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُم

Indeed, those who disbelieved and averted [people] from the path of Allah and then died while they were disbelievers - never will Allah forgive them.
