They swear by Allah that they never said anything ˹blasphemous˺, while they did in fact utter a blasphemy, lost faith after accepting

But if they turn away, Allah will torment them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no one on earth to protect or help them.

Can ˹the misguided be like˺ those whose hearts Allah has opened to
Islam, so they are enlightened by their Lord? So woe to those whose hearts are hardened at the remembrance of Allah! It is they who are clearly astray.

Certainly, Allah’s only Way is

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
They regard their acceptance of
Islam as a favour to you. Tell ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Do not regard your
Islam as a favour to me. Rather, it is Allah Who has done you a favour by guiding you to the faith, if ˹indeed˺ you are faithful.

١٥
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
We have commanded people to honour their parents. Their mothers bore them in hardship and delivered them in hardship. Their ˹period of˺ bearing and weaning is thirty months. In time, when the child reaches their prime at the age of forty, they pray, “My Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please You. And instil righteousness in my offspring. I truly repent to You, and I truly submit ˹to Your Will˺.”
وَأَنَّا

١٤
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And among us are those who have submitted ˹to Allah˺ and those who are deviant. So ˹as for˺ those who submitted, it is they who have attained Right Guidance.

١٤
Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
But if your helpers fail you, then know that it has been revealed with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him! Will you ˹not˺ then submit ˹to Allah˺?
39:12 - Az-Zumar
Verse 12

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Who does more wrong than the one who fabricates lies about Allah when invited to submit ˹to Him˺?
1 For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, and swine; what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah; what is killed by strangling, beating, a fall, or by being gored to death; what is partly eaten by a predator unless you slaughter it; and what is sacrificed on altars. You are also forbidden to draw lots for decisions.
1 This is all evil. Today the disbelievers have given up all hope of ˹undermining˺ your faith. So do not fear them; fear Me! Today I have perfected your faith for you, completed My favour upon you, and chosen
Islam as your way. But whoever is compelled by extreme hunger—not intending to sin—then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
رُّبَمَا
يَوَدُّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ
لَوۡ
كَانُواْ
مُسۡلِمِينَ

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
˹The day will come when˺ the disbelievers will certainly wish they had submitted ˹to Allah˺.
