O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and let every soul look to what (provision) He has sent forth for the morrow. Yea, fear Allah. for Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do. 59:18And be ye not like those who forgot Allah. and He made them forget their own souls! Such are the rebellious transgressors!59:19

The second stage of the soul is called Lawwama; it feels conscious of evil, but tries its best to resist it, and if it follows the evil whisper, it would quickly acknowledge it and seek Allah’s (swt) help with patience, repentance and with prayers and amends.

Those who behave arrogantly on the earth in defiance of right – them will I turn away from My signs: Even if they see all the signs, they will not believe in them; and if they see the way of right conduct, they will not adopt it as the way; but if they see the way of error, that is the way they will adopt. For they have rejected our signs, and failed to take warning from them. 7:146

Those who reject Our signs and the meeting in the Hereafter,- vain are their deeds: Can they expect to be rewarded except as they have wrought? 7:147
