[2] in obedience to the commands of their Lord which are incumbent on them,

[21] Why, when the Quran is recited to them, do they not prostrate themselves?
[22] In fact, they reject the Quran,
[23] but God knows best whatever they accumulate in their hearts.
[24] (Muhammad), tell them that they will all suffer a painful torment
[25] except the righteously striving believers, who will receive a never-ending reward.
