Should you slip back after the clear signs have come to you, then beware that Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

Then if you slide back after the clear signs (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and this Qur’ân, and Islâm) have come to you, then know that Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

And if ye slide back after the clear proofs have come unto you, then know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.

And know that Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."
