When those who have been followed disown their followers, when they all see the suffering, when all bonds between them are severed
167
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ لَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةࣰ فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنۡهُمۡ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوا۟ مِنَّاۗ كَذَ ٰلِكَ یُرِیهِمُ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ حَسَرَ ٰتٍ عَلَیۡهِمۡۖ وَمَا هُم بِخَـٰرِجِینَ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ١٦٧

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ كُلُوا۟ مِمَّا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ حَلَـٰلࣰا طَیِّبࣰا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَ ٰتِ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوࣱّ مُّبِینٌ ١٦٨

He has only forbidden you carrion, blood, pig’s meat, and animals over which any name other than God’s has been invoked. But if anyone is forced to eat such things by hunger, rather than desire or excess, he commits no sin: God is most merciful and forgiving

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَكۡتُمُونَ مَاۤ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ وَیَشۡتَرُونَ بِهِۦ ثَمَنࣰا قَلِیلًا أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ مَا یَأۡكُلُونَ فِی بُطُونِهِمۡ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا یُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ وَلَا یُزَكِّیهِمۡ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمٌ ١٧٤

As for those who conceal the Scripture that God sent down and sell it for a small price, they only fill their bellies with Fire. God will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them: an agonizing torment awaits them
