The Holy Quran 16:106 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

مَن كَفَرَ بِٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِيمَـٰنِهِۦٓ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُۥ مُطْمَئِنٌّۢ بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ وَلَـٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِٱلْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

Translation

Except for the person who is forced (to make statements of kufr for fear of losing his life) but whose heart is (still) content with Imaan, those who disbelieve in Allaah after having Imaan and who open their hearts to kufr (are happy to be Kuffaar, they) will have Allaah's wrath on them and they shall suffer a terrible punishment.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Who is an apostate?: some are criminals who, having heard hundreds of proofs and verses, still do not believe. But greater criminals than they are those who, after believing and accepting [the truth], are influenced by satanic doubts and whisperings and deny the truth, as Abdullah ibn Abi Sarh did, who became an apostate after having believed.
