Surat Al A`raf: (146-147)

{سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ آيَاتِيَ الَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِي الأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَإِن يَرَوْاْ كُلَّ آيَةٍ لاَّ يُؤْمِنُواْ بِهَا وَإِن يَرَوْاْ سَبِيلَ الرُّشْدِ لاَ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلاً وَإِن يَرَوْاْ سَبِيلَ الْغَيِّ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلاً ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَكَانُواْ عَنْهَا غَافِلِينَ} [الأعراف: 146]

146- I shall exclude those who show haughtiness over my servants and fight my pious people from following the signs of My Glory and the rulings of My Shari`ah as a punishment for them on their stubbornness and arrogance so as not to benefit from My Glorious Ayahs which are only deserved by the true believers .

When the arrogant people saw miracles and proofs at the hands of My Messengers, they did not believe in them and when they saw the way of guidance and salvation, they did not follow .

However, when they saw the way of destruction and error, they chose it for themselves and did not avoid it because it matches their whims and desires and because they belied our clear and sincere proofs that lead to the truth and they were heedless concerning thinking about them and taking lessons .

{وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَلِقَاء الآخِرَةِ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلاَّ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ} [الأعراف: 147]

147- And the actions of those who deny our signs and insist on disbelieving in the Hereafter where retribution is found shall be null and void, and they shall be held accountable for their disbelief and sins which they committed.
