people and makes clear the type of person whose words and
admonitions are not to be trusted - someone who easily
transgresses Allah’s limits:

But do not obey any vile swearer of oaths,
Any backbiter, slandermonger,
Impeder of good, evil aggressor,
Gross, coarse and furthermore, despicable,
Simply because he possesses wealth and sons.
When Our Signs are recited to him, he says, ‘Just
myths of previous peoples!’ (Surat al-Qalam; 10-15)

And in another verse, Allah reveals that there are two
types of individuals who should not be listened to:
"Therefore wait patiently for the judgment of your
Lord. Do not obey any evildoer or thankless man
among them.” (Surat al-Insan; 24)
In the Qur’an, Allah reveals clearly whose word is to be
trusted; that is, whose guidance and advice should be relied
upon. According to this distinction, when it is a matter of his
material and emotional welfare, a Muslim should never act on
the advice of liars, gossipmongers, or aggressive, argumenta-
tive individuals, who easily disregard the limits set by Allah or
people who are deceitful or sarcastic.

He is Lord of the heavens and the earth and every-
thing in between them, so worship Him and perse-
vere in His worship. Do you know of any other with
His Name? (Surah Maryam; 65)
