Again another lesson of wisdom from the verses

ARAF

Ask them about that city by the sea. On Saturday, they were wild and unrestrained. On the Sabbath their fish would come to them in abundance, but when they did not keep the Sabbath they would not come to them. Thus did We test them because of their deviation from the way.

A group among them said "Why do you advise a people whom Allah will destroy or torment with a severe torment?" They said "As an excuse against your Lord, and in the hope that they may be protected."
Only our Lord knows who is one of the eternal wrongdoers and who is one of the righteous. Whoever is a Muslim today may renounce tomorrow, or may not be a true Muslim anyway, or whoever is a disbeliever today may become a believer tomorrow.
So here in verse 164, the response of the truth tellers is marvelous. It is a complete wisdom...
Yes, in this way, they not only make their side clear, but they will also be instrumental for those whom Allah knows but they do not know at that moment, who will believe later.
In this 2-day test, this world of confronting people with what is inside them, everyone will reach the faith or disbelief they deserve in one way or another. So that the evidence for or against them can be presented to them in the Hereafter. Our Lord even knows whether we would be among the good or the bad if we lived in this world forever. He makes us face ourselves by giving us an example of a test.
