164            GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN


                 And We cut them up on the earth into parties, (some) of them being
               righteous and (others) of them falling short of that, and We tried them
               with blessings and misfortunes that they might turn. (Surat al-A'raf, 168)
                 Recite to them the tale of him to whom We gave Our Signs, but who
               then cast them to one side and Satan caught up with him. He was one
               of those lured into error. (Surat al-A'raf, 175)
                 We created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts
               they do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with.
               They have ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No,
               they are even worse! They are the unaware. (Surat al-A'raf, 179)
                 This was so that He might verify the Truth and nullify the false, even
               though the evildoers hate that. (Surat al-Anfal, 8)
                 The worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the deaf and dumb who
               have no intellect. (Surat al-Anfal, 22)
                 Man is never tired of praying for good, and if evil touch him, then he
               is despairing, hopeless. (Surah Fussilat, 49)
                 You will see them as they are exposed to it, abject in their abasement,
               glancing around them furtively. Those who believe will say, 'Truly the
               losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of
               Rising.'The wrongdoers are in an everlasting punishment. (Surat ash-
               Shura, 45)
                 Then you, you misguided, you deniers. (Surat al-Waqi'a, 51)
                 Satan has gained mastery over them and made them forget the re-
               membrance of Allah. Such people are the party of Satan. No indeed! It
               is the party of Satan who are the losers. (Surat al-Mujadala, 19)
                 Did you not see the hypocrites saying to their brothers, those among
               the People of the Book who are disbelievers, 'If you are driven out we
               will leave with you, we will never obey anyone to your detriment.
               And if you are fought against we will help you'? Allah bears witness
               that they are truly liars. (Surat al-Hashr, 11)
                 No indeed! He is obdurate about Our Signs. (Surat al-Muddaththir, 16)
                 But the most miserable will shun it, (Surat al-A'la, 11)
                 No indeed! If he does not desist, We will grab him by the forelock, a
               lying, sinful forelock. (Surat al-Alaq, 15-16)
                 You who believe! The idolaters are unclean, so after this year they
