    44. From this, emerge a few issues: 

    1. If you do not have the power to declare your faith openly, then it is permissible for you to conceal it, but staying among the infidels would not be lawful. At the first opportunity, you should migrate from there. Thus, they cannot be used as proof for adopting pretentious living.

    2. Turning to infidelity should be regarded with the same contempt as falling into a fire. 

    3. A pious and god-fearing person should place his trust in his faith and piety. He should at all times seek the bounty and mercy of Allah Almighty. Observe, the Companions of the Cave feared that today we have to mix with infidelity because they were not in a position to act otherwise, and if they remain there any longer, perhaps their hearts would become inclined towards infidelity and not be able to return to Islam and thereby destroy their Hereafter. This is the intended meaning of *will not benefit'. Thus, there is no inconsistency in the verse.
