Transliteration:( Kazaalika yu'fakul lazeena kaanoo bi Aayaatil laahi yajhadoon )
160. By signs of Allah is meant either the the Holy QURAN or the miracles of the Holy Prophet ? rejecting means not believing or accepting them. Or, by signs is meant proofs of the owers of Allah Almighty, which are spread in different parts of the world.
Rejecting them means not reflecting upon them, or regarding them as the creation of someone else. The purpose of the verse is that anyone who has been deprived of Islam, will always be doing evil actions. Only when the heart is sound, will the person be right. When one's beliefs are correct, the actions, too, would be correct.

88. That is, in every age the common people have been deluded by the misguides only because the people did not believe in the revelations that Allah sent down through His Messengers to make them understand the truth.
