The Clans
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[33:57]
Verily, as for those who [knowingly] affront God and His Apostle – God will reject them in this world and in the life to come; and shameful suffering will He ready for them.

* v.57 : In classical Arabic, the term la‘nah is more or less synonymous with ib‘ād (“removal into distance” or “banishment”); hence, God’s la‘nah denotes “His rejection of a sinner from all that is good” (Lisān al-‘Arab) or “exclusion from His grace” (Manār II, 50). The term mal‘ūn which occurs in verse 61 below signifies, therefore, “one who is bereft of God’s grace.”
