﴿ قُلْ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ﴾

“Say: “Pay heed unto God and the Apostle.” And if they turn away - verely, God does not love those who deny the truth.”

Say: �Obey God and the Messenger.� But if they turn their backs God loves not the disbelievers. He commanded them to obedience and then He said �But if they turn their backs� that is fall short in obedience by opposing [God's command] then God loves not the disbelievers. He did not say �the disobedient� ʿāṣūn but rather �the disbelievers� kāfirūn so the address indicates that He loves the believers even if they are disobedient.
