[2:145] Yet if you should bring to those who have been given the Scripture every sign, they will not follow your direction, and you are not a follower of their direction; neither are they followers of one another's direction. If you were to follow their whims after the knowledge that has come to you, then you will surely be among the evildoers.
'Devotion to the path of the Real was already yours from the eternal decree, as was the falling to the side of distance for your enemies. Between the two of you there is a barrier (barzakh). They do not overstep [55:19-20]. They will not be followers of your qibla even if you were to show them effects (āthār) that were clearer than suns and moons. And you will not be followers of their qibla, even if they bring every stratagem. In that there is a decree from God (s) from pre-eternity'.
