THEY ARE FIERCE AND UPRIGHT
TOWARDS THE DISBELIEVERS
O Prophet! Strive against the unbelievers and hypocrites and be
harsh with them. Their refuge is Hell. What an evil destination!
(Qur'an, 66:9)
The worst of animals in the sight of Allah are those who do not
believe and do not believe, those with whom you make a treaty
and who then break it every time. They don't guard against evil.
So if you come upon such people in war, make a harsh example of
them to deter those coming after them so that hopefully they will
pay heed. (Qur'an, 8:55-57)
You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will
bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble
to the believers, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of
Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the
unbounded favour of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills.
Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 5:54)

THEY ARE CAUTIOUS AGAINST
THOSE WHO ARE DISBELIEVERS
That was the situation when we woke them up so they could
question one another. One of them asked, 'How long have you
been here?' They replied, 'We have been here for a day or part of
a day.' They said, 'Your Lord knows best how long you have been
here. Send one of your number into the city with this silver you
have, so he can see which food is purest and bring you some of it
to eat. But he should go about with caution so that no one is aware
of you, (Qur'an, 18:19)
He (Ya'qub) said, 'My sons! You must not enter through a single
gate. Go in through different gates. But I cannot save you from
Allah at all, for judgement comes from no one but Allah. In Him
I put my trust, and let all those who put their trust, put it in Him
alone.' (Qur'an, 12:67)
