Believing After Seeing a Definite Sign is Useless:
That is, after clear commands of Islam have come regarding every aspect of human life, if you do not enter Islam fully and adopt a double policy—acting on the commands you like, but whenever something feels unpleasant or you sense a risk of loss, you follow your own desires and set aside the commands of Islam—then know well that Allah is Mighty and Wise. He can punish you, humiliate and disgrace you, and can give the rulership of the world to someone other than you.
