40 GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN

DISOBEDIENCE TO THE PROPHETS
AND ITS PENALTY

Those who reject Allah and His Messengers and desire to cause divi-
sion between Allah and His Messengers, saying, "We believe in some
and reject the others," wanting to take a pathway in between, such
people are the true disbelievers. We have prepared a humiliating pun-
ishment for the disbelievers. (Surat an-Nisa', 150-151)
Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger will be subdued and
overcome as those before them were also subdued and overcome. We
have sent down Clear Signs. The disbelievers will have a humiliating
punishment. (Surat al-Mujadala, 5)
How many cities spurned their Lord's command and His Messen-
gers! And so We called them harshly to account and punished them
with a terrible punishment. (Surat at-Talaq, 8)
As for those who disobey Allah and His Messenger and overstep
His limits, We will admit them into a Fire, remaining in it timelessly,
for ever. They will have a humiliating punishment. (Surat an-Nisa', 14)
Then We sent Our Messengers one after another, at intervals. Each
time its Messenger came to a community they called him a liar so We
made them follow one another too and turned them into myths and
legends. Away with the people who do not believe! (Surat al-Mu'mi-
nun, 44)
