And among the people is he whose speech about the life of this world impresses you, and he even calls upon Allah as a witness to what is in his heart, yet he is the most severe of opponents. But when he turns away, he strives throughout the land to spread corruption therein and to destroy crops and offspring; and Allah does not love corruption. And when it is said to him, ‘Fear Allah,’ pride in sin takes hold of him. Then Hell is sufficient for him, and how wretched a resting place it is. (Qur'an 2: 204-206)

O you who have believed in Allah and His Messenger: indeed, among your spouses and your children are enemies to you who hinder you from the path of Allah and discourage you from His obedience; so be wary of them and do not obey them. Yet, if you overlook their misdeeds, turn away from them, and conceal them, then indeed Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
