At other times He spurs them on to do so and warns them against imitating the heedless, those who turn away, and the followers of distorted religions, lest they incur the same blame that befell those peoples. He says, for example, “and you will surely be among the losers” (Az-Zumar 65); “and you would then become among the wrongdoers” (Al-Baqarah 35); “and do not be among the heedless” (Al-Aʿraf 205); and, “Has the time not come for those who believe that their hearts should humble themselves to the remembrance of Allah and to what has been revealed of the truth, and that they should not be like those who were given the Scripture before? The term was prolonged for them, so their hearts hardened, and many of them are defiantly disobedient” (Al-Hadid 16), and many other verses besides.
