In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Our religion is comprehensive and complete, leaving no aspect of life without Allah’s ruling on it and a stance. Whoever abandons something from it after the truth has been made clear to him, then indeed his destination is towards destruction.

Also, if he turns away from the truth while being capable of distinguishing between right and wrong, and chooses to reject the truth or neglect the pursuit of it, then indeed, by Allah, he is on a path towards ruin. Many people pretend to be oblivious and feign ignorance, while the truth is readily accessible to him.

However, various obstacles prevents them, such as personal desires, arrogance, blind following, (Footnote a) and numerous other factors. The truth is readily accessible and in front of his eyes, yet he may choose to  prevent himself, close his eyes, and turns away from the truth. This is also one who deviates from the truth, and his destination is towards destruction; and Allah’s refuge is sought. [Al-Makh’raj Min Al-Fitan 23-24]
