36.    Obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his evil inclinations

 [18:29] And keep thyself attached to those who call on their Lord, morning and evening, seeking His pleasure; and let not thy eyes pass beyond them, seeking the adornment of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his evil inclinations, and his case exceeds all bounds.

 [53:30] So turn aside from him who turns away from Our remembrance, and seeks nothing but the life of this world.

[59:20] And be not like those who forgot Allah, and whom He has consequently caused to forget their own souls. It is they that are the rebellious.

Explanation: Man forgets God in three ways: (1) He rejects the very belief in the existence of God. (2) He has no real, true or living belief in a Supreme Being before Whom he shall have to render an account of his deeds (3) Forgetfulness. The inevitable and never-failing consequence of consigning God to oblivion is that man gets involved in matters which bring about his moral degradation and spiritual downfall, ending with loss of peace of mind.

[7:206] And remember thy Lord in thy mind with humility and fear, and without loudness of speech, in the mornings and evenings; and be not of the neglectful.
