[12] Further guidance refers to remaining steadfast in their faith, as is evident from their declaration in the next verse. It was so difficult for them to utter a word of disbelief and polytheism that they preferred to leave their homes and businesses rather than say such a thing, and they went into hiding from the eyes of society.
