The explanation of this subject is as follows:
The apostle [every apostle] comes to his people and invites them to glorify and worship God alone: this is the principal thing in his mission, and this will make them succeed if they believe or lose if they disbelieve.
Now his people will divide into two parties:
· Some of them who are wrong-doers; God dislikes the wrong-doer, and will leave them to Satan and his devils to confuse them with their suggestions, and make the disbelief seem fair to them, and they suggest to them that their apostle is a liar, impostor and it is better to disregard him and keep up on their lusts and social friendships and advantages and their wronging each other and transgression on the apostle himself and his followers --> and so such wrong-doers will dislike the idea and will disbelieve and keep up on their idolatry and enthusiasm and associating other patrons with God Almighty and so they will increase in their disbelief and antagonism of the apostle.
· Some of them who are wrong-doers; God dislikes the wrong-doer, and will leave them to Satan and his devils to confuse them with their suggestions, and make the disbelief seem fair to them, and they suggest to them that their apostle is a liar, impostor and it is better to disregard him and keep up on their lusts and social friendships and advantages and their wronging each other and transgression on the apostle himself and his followers --> and so such wrong-doers will dislike the idea and will disbelieve and keep up on their idolatry and enthusiasm and associating other patrons with God Almighty and so they will increase in their disbelief and antagonism of the apostle.
· The other party: kind-hearted, merciful to the orphan, widow and the weak; these God likes them and like to guide them; so He orders His angels to inspire into them that the apostle is truthful in his mission, and the idols are useless stones; so the angels will keep inspiring them until they will be convinced and come to the apostle and follow him for the cause of God.
So the first party will start following the suggestion of devils, and will mock the apostle and antagonize him, and they will lose in the afterlife and will be punished.
While the second party will believe, and their belief will increase, and their knowledge will increase about their religion of God and their wisdom will increase, and they will succeed in their afterlife.

While the second party will believe, and their belief will increase, and their knowledge will increase about their religion of God and their wisdom will increase, and they will succeed in their afterlife.
These two parties are interchangeable: according to their progress or regress in their purifying or corrupting their hearts and conduct.
>> If believers become wrong-doers, God will misguide them in the same way explained above, so they will apostatize from God's religion and they will lose.
>> While if disbelievers change their hearts and their conduct into better condition, and leave their wrong-doing, God will guide them in the same way explained above, so they will convert to God's religion and they will succeed.
A very good step is that the atheist or disbeliever should give alms in secret to the poor for the sake of God alone, in secret not before anyone, and God will guide him and will be in Paradise.

This is in many ayat the Quran like these 6: 47-49
قُلْ أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَاكُمْ عَذَابُ اللّهِ بَغْتَةً أَوْ جَهْرَةً هَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلاَّ الْقَوْمُ الظَّالِمُونَ . وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلاَّ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ فَمَنْ آمَنَ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ . وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا يَمَسُّهُمُ الْعَذَابُ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفْسُقُونَThe explanation:
(Say: "Tell me your opinion that if God's punishment comes upon you unexpectedly or openly, will any perish save the people of the wrongdoers?"
(Say: "Tell me your opinion that if God's punishment comes upon you unexpectedly or openly, will any perish save the people of the wrongdoers?"
We do not send the Envoys [: the messengers] except good tidings to bear, and warners;
>> whoever believes and makes amends [or reforms] – no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow.
>> But those who deny Our signs [or revelations] – the torment shall touch them [in the afterlife] because of their disobedience.)
And like this aya 18: 56
وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَاتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِي وَمَا أُنذِرُوا هُزُوًا
The explanation:
(We send not messengers but to bear glad tidings and to warn;
but those who disbelieve do only dispute with falsehood to disprove the truth,
and they took – My signs [of revelation] and what they are warned of – as a jest.)
(We send not messengers but to bear glad tidings and to warn;
but those who disbelieve do only dispute with falsehood to disprove the truth,
and they took – My signs [of revelation] and what they are warned of – as a jest.)
This meaning is mentioned in many other ayat of the Quran like these 2: 6-7
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ . خَتَمَ اللّهُ عَلَى قُلُوبِهمْ وَعَلَى سَمْعِهِمْ وَعَلَى أَبْصَارِهِمْ غِشَاوَةٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عظِيمٌ
The explanation:
(Surely, those who disbelieve [or deny]; it is the same to them – whether you [Mohammed] warn them or you warn them not – they believe not.
(Surely, those who disbelieve [or deny]; it is the same to them – whether you [Mohammed] warn them or you warn them not – they believe not.
God has set a seal upon their hearts and on their hearing, and on their sights is a veil, and there awaits them a grievous chastisement.)
And these ayat 36: 6-7
لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًا مَّا أُنذِرَ آبَاؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غَافِلُونَ .لَقَدْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى أَكْثَرِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
The explanation:
(That you [Mohammed] may warn a people [the Arab] whose fathers were not warned [by any messenger before you], therefore they are unaware [of the afterlife.]
(That you [Mohammed] may warn a people [the Arab] whose fathers were not warned [by any messenger before you], therefore they are unaware [of the afterlife.]
The word has been deservedly sentenced against most of them [to be punished], therefore they believe not [because they imitate their fathers.])
And in the same soora 36: 10-11
وَسَوَاء عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ .إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الذِّكْرَ وَخَشِيَ الرَّحْمَن بِالْغَيْبِ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِمَغْفِرَةٍ وَأَجْرٍ كَرِيمٍ
The explanation:
(It is the same to them whether you [Mohammed] warn them or you warn them not, they believe not.
(It is the same to them whether you [Mohammed] warn them or you warn them not, they believe not.
You [Mohammed] only warn him who follows the admonition [of the Quran] and fears [God] Most Gracious in secret, so give him the good news of forgiveness and excellent reward [in the afterlife.])
