(Yusuf said:) In this way he may know at last that I did not
           dishonour him behind his back and that Allah most surely does not
           guide the deviousness of the dishonourable. (Qur'an, 12:52)
           They said, 'Build a pyre for him (Ibrahim) and fling him into the
           blaze!' They tried to outwit him but We made them the lowest.
           (Qur'an, 37:97-98)
           Do you not see what your Lord did with the Companions of the
           Elephant? Did He not bring all their schemes to nothing, (Qur'an,
           105:1-2)
           When he (Musa) brought them the truth from Us they said,
           'Slaughter the sons of those who believe with him but let their
           women live.' The stratagems of the unbelievers are nothing but
           errors. (Qur'an, 40:25)

           THEY TURN AWAY FROM THE DISBELIEVERS
           Did they bequeathe this to each other? Indeed they are an
           unbridled people. So turn away from them, for you are not to
           blame. (Qur'an, 51:53-54)

           THEY PREVENT THE TYRANNY
           OF THE DISBELIEVERS
           Fight them! Allah will punish them at your hands, and disgrace
           them and help you against them, and heal the hearts of those who
           believe. He will remove the rage from their hearts. Allah turns to
           anyone He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 9:14-15)
           If the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts and the
           rumour-mongers in Madina do not desist, We will set you onto
           them. Then they will only be your neighbours there a very short
           time. They are an accursed people. Wherever they are found they
           should be seized and mercilessly put to death. This is Allah's
           pattern with those who passed away before. You will not find any
           alteration in Allah's pattern. (Qur'an, 33:60-62)
