[3:177] Those who purchase unbelief at the price of faith, they will not hurt God at all, and there awaits them a painful chastisement.
If they cause harm (a?arrū), it is only to themselves. If they persist (aṣarrū), they persist only to their own loss.
For we were not tormented
by the distance to their abodes,
nor did longings
drive us towards them.
