138. From this, we understand it is important to cut off relations with the infidels, material or religious. It is essential to cut off all marriage or trade ties with them, as well as refrain from attending their burial, keeping verbal contact with them, and maintaining ties of inheritence. These are laws concerning infidelity. A sinful Muslim can be brought to the fold through propagation and advice, but contact should not be cut off with them without any valid reason. However, if boycotting could help in bringing them back to the fold, this should be tried temporarily.
139. This is meant to continue propagating Islam to the infidels even if you have little hope of them accepting Islam. For those infidels regarding whom the Holy Quran had prophesized that they will not accept Islam, an effort was made to the end to bring them to the fold of Islam.
140. In this verse, there is a negation of intercession for the infidels as is brought out at the beginning of the verse and at the end of the verse. Or it negates the intercession of the idols or the rejection of the intercession of imposters and bullies. Intercession for believers is proven by Quranic verses. "Who is he that would intercede with Him by His leave". (S2:V255). The Janazah Prayer too is based on intercession Says Allah Almighty: "And when they do injustice unto their souls, then Oh Beloved! they should come to you and then beg forgiveness... (S4:V64). This verse shows proof of intercession.
141. The rejection of compensation by the infidels is a punishment for them, while the infidels themselves would become compensation for the believers. The sacrifice of their good deeds, and infidels would become compensation for their sins. for the believers. The sacrifice of their good deeds would become compensation for their sins.
142. From this is understood that painful torment is specially set for the infidels, if Allah wills, the punishment of the believing sinner would not be severe.

70. And leave alone those who take their religion as play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But remind (them) with it (the Qur’an) lest a soul Tubsal for that which one has earned, when he will find for himself no protector or intercessor besides Allah, and even if he offers every ransom, it will not be accepted from him. Such are they who are given up to destruction because of that which they have earned. For them will be a drink of boiling water and a painful torment because they used to disbelieve.) Allah said,
(And leave alone those who take their religion as play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world.) The Ayah commands to leave such people, ignore them and give them respite, for soon, they will taste a tremendous torment. This is why Allah said,
(But remind with it) meaning, remind the people with this Qur’an and warn them against Allah’s revenge and painful torment on the Day of Resurrection. Allah said;
(lest a soul Tubsal for that which one has earned,) meaning, so that it is not Tubsal. Ad-Dahhak from Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan and As-Suddi said that Tubsal means, be submissive. Al-Walibi said that Ibn `Abbas said that Tubsal means, `be exposed’. Qatadah said that Tubsal means, `be prevented’, Murrah and Ibn Zayd said that it means, `be recompensed’, Al-Kalbi said, `be reckoned’. All these statements and expressions are similar, for they all mean exposure to destruction, being kept away from all that is good, and being restrained from attaining what is desired. Allah also said;
(Every person is restrained by what he has earned. Except those on the Right.) ﴿74:38-39﴾, and
(when he will find for himself no protector or intercessor besides Allah,) and,
(and even if he offers every ransom, it will not be accepted from him.) meaning, whatever the ransom such people offer, it will not be accepted from them. Allah said in a similar statement,
(Verily, those who disbelieved, and died while they were disbelievers, the (whole) earth full of gold will not be accepted from anyone of them.) ﴿3:91﴾ Allah said here,
(Such are they who are given up to destruction because of that which they have earned. For them will be a drink of boiling water and a painful torment because they used to disbelieve. )
(6:70) Leave alone those who have made a sport and a pastime of their religion and whom the life of the world has beguiled. But continue to admonish them (with the Qur’an) lest a man should be caught for what he has himself earned for there shall neither be any protector nor intercessor apart from Allah; and though he may offer any conceivable ransom it shall not be accepted from him, for such people have been caught for the deeds that they have themselves earned. Boiling water to drink and a painful chastisement to suffer for their unbelief is what awaits them.
