Quran 7:177 — The Purgatory (Al-A'araf)

Bad indeed is the example of people who reject our proofs; it is only their own souls that they wrong.

[7:176] Had we willed, we could have elevated him therewith, but he insisted on sticking to the ground, and pursued his own opinions. Thus, he is like the dog; whether you pet him or scold him, he pants. Such is the example of people who reject our proofs. Narrate these narrations, that they may reflect.

[7:178] Whomever GOD guides is the truly guided one, and whomever He commits to straying, these are the losers.
