8:20O you who believe! Obey God and His Messenger, and do not turn away from him when you hear.

8:23Had God recognized any good in them, He would have made them hear; and had He made them hear, they would have turned away defiantly.

8:34Yet why should God not punish them, when they are turning others away from the Sacred Mosque, although they are not its custodians? Its rightful custodians are the pious; but most of them do not know.

8:38Say to those who disbelieve: if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist—the practice of the ancients has passed away.

8:40And if they turn away, know that God is your Protector. The Best Protector, and the Best Supporter.

8:50If only you could see, as the angels take away those who disbelieve, striking their faces and their backs: “Taste the agony of the Burning.”
