According to the Quran, Who Are the Disbelievers?
That is, those whose entire efforts are devoted to worldly interests and their attainment, and they have no concern for the Hereafter. They are ready to sacrifice the successes and prosperity of the Hereafter for the sake of this world, but they are not willing to bear any loss in this world for the sake of attaining salvation and success in the Hereafter. Furthermore, they also strive to entice others towards these worldly interests so that they do not come to the path of Allah, or they create obstacles in the way of those who walk on the path of truth, and subject them to their oppression and excesses, or they try to derive paths of misguidance from this very Quran. Such disbelievers will have to face a destructive punishment—both in this world and in the Hereafter.

Forms of Deviation in the Path of Allah:
This address is general for everyone, whether disbelievers or Muslims. To create deviation means that the command of the religion is accepted only if it aligns with one's own desires, and if it does not, then it is either abandoned, denied, or interpreted in such a way that Allah's command is molded according to one's own wishes. Generally, there are only two reasons for adopting this deviation: one is following one's own desires, and the other is being overawed by the ideologies of the present age. And those afflicted with this disease are more often the evil scholars than the common people. Such people often reach the extreme of misguidance from where their return becomes impossible.
