Ayah: 36

وَلَقَدۡ بَعَثۡنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولًا أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ حَقَّتۡ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُۚ فَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

(36) Verily, We had sent a Messenger in every nation, ˹to deliver˺ that: “You should worship Allah and shun false idols!” Among them were those whom Allah guided and among them were those whose dutiful lot was misguidance!^[3281] So walk the land and behold how was the end of the deniers.

[3281] “Indeed, those who revert ˹to Denying˺ after guidance has become clear to them; Satan has tempted them, luring them with false hope!” (47: 25); “Say: “Shall I inform you who are the greatest losers in respect to their deeds? *Those whose efforts go astray in the worldly life, while they reckon that they are virtuous in their works. *It is they who Denied the Signs of their Lord and their meeting with Him, their deeds became void, so We will not give their deeds any weight on the Day of Judgement”” (18: 103-105); “A party ˹of you˺ He guides, and another party misguidedness is their rightful lot; they betook the devils as allies besides Allah and they think that they are guided!” (7: 30)
