Surah 25. Al-Furqan, Ayah 77

Lit., "were it not for your prayer", which term Ibn 'Abbas (as quoted by Tabari) equates in this context with "faith".

I.e., "unless you repent, this sin will determine your spiritual destiny in the life to come".

Let not the wicked think that it causes Allah any annoyance or uneasiness if they do not serve or worship Him. He is high above all needs. But He turns in His Mercy to all who call on Him. For those who arrogantly reject Him, the evil consequences of their rejection are inevitable, and must soon come to pass.
