Al-Qalam 68:5–9
Do not obey the deniers
فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ ٥ بِأَييِّكُمُ ٱلْمَفْتُونُ ٦ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ ٧ فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٨ وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ ٩
The meaning, simply
You will see and they will see which of you is the one led astray. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His way and who is rightly guided. So do not obey the deniers; they wish you would soften in your religion so that they would soften towards you.

Think with me
Standing firm on the truth takes courage. When do you say no to something wrong, even if friends insist?
