Whoever seeks a way other than Islam,¹ it will never be accepted from them, and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers.

How will Allah guide a people who chose to disbelieve after they had believed, acknowledged the Messenger to be true, and received clear proofs? For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Their reward is that they will be condemned by Allah, the angels, and all of humanity.

They will be in Hell forever. Their punishment will not be lightened, nor will they be delayed ˹from it˺.

As for those who repent afterwards and mend their ways, then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Indeed, those who disbelieve after having believed then increase in disbelief, their repentance will never be accepted.¹ It is they who are astray.

Indeed, if each of those who disbelieve then die as disbelievers were to offer a ransom of enough gold to fill the whole world, it would never be accepted from them. It is they who will suffer a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.
