In the Quran chapter 2 verse 1 to 20, three categories of people are mentioned. The first are the righteous, who believe in the unseen, perform prayers, and give from what God has provided for them. They believe in the Quran and the revelations that came before it, and are certain about the Hereafter. They are guided by their Lord and will be successful.
The second category are the disbelievers, who will not believe even if they are warned. God has sealed their hearts and hearing, and they will face a great punishment. They are deceived by their own lies and refuse to believe in the truth.
The third category are those who pretend to believe, but their hearts are sick with deception. They try to corrupt the earth and deceive God and believers, but they only deceive themselves. They have chosen misguidance over guidance, and are like those who walk in darkness, unable to see or hear. They fear death and try to avoid it, but God surrounds them with His power.
