Stories Of The Prophets In The Qur'an 39

So do not let their words distress you. We know what they keep se-
cret and what they divulge. (Surah Ya Sin, 76)
We know that what they say distresses you. It is not that they are
calling you a liar; the wrongdoers are just denying Allah's Signs. (Surat
al-An'am, 33)
Do not grieve over them and do not let the plots they make distress
you. (Surat an-Naml, 70)
So put your trust in Allah. You are clearly on a path of truth. You will
not make dead men hear and you will not make deaf men hear the call
when they turn their backs in flight. You will not guide blind men out
of their error. You will not make anyone hear except for those who be-
lieve in Our Signs and so are Muslims. (Surat an-Naml, 79-81)
Those are the Signs of the Clear Book. Perhaps you will destroy
yourself with grief because they will not become believers. If We
wished We could send down a Sign to them from heaven, before
which their heads would be bowed low in subjection. (Surat ash-
Shu'ara', 2-4)
O Messenger! Do not be grieved by those who rush headlong into
disbelief among those who say 'We believe' with their tongues when
their hearts contain no faith. And among the Jews are those who listen
to lies, listening to other people who have not come to you, distorting
words from their proper meanings, saying, 'If you are given this, then
take it. If you are not given it, then beware!' If Allah desires misguid-
ance for someone, you cannot help him against Allah in any way.
Those are the people whose hearts Allah does not want to purify. They
will have disgrace in this world and in the hereafter they will have a
terrible punishment. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 41)
Be steadfast in the face of what they say and cut yourself off from
them – but courteously. (Surat al-Muzzammil, 10)
Proclaim what you have been ordered to and turn away from the
idolaters. We are enough for you against the mockers, those who set
up another god beside Allah. They will soon know! We know that your
breast is constricted by what they say. So glorify your Lord with praise
and be one of the prostrators. And worship your Lord until what is
Certain comes to you. (Surat al-Hijr, 94-99)
