Do they have legs they can walk with? Do they have hands they
can grasp with? Do they have eyes they can see with? Do they
have ears they can hear with? Say: 'Call on your partner-gods and
try all your wiles against me and grant me no reprieve. (Qur'an,
7:195)
If anyone argues with you about him after the knowledge that has
come to you, say, 'Come then! Let us summon our sons and your
sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves.
Then let us make earnest supplication and call down the curse of
Allah upon the liars.' (Qur'an, 3:61)
Say to those who have no faith: 'Do as you think best. That is what
we are doing. (Qur'an, 11:121)
We would be inventing lies against Allah if we returned to your
religion after Allah has saved us from it. We could never return to
it unless Allah our Lord so willed. Our Lord encompasses
everything in His knowledge. We have put our trust in Allah. Our
Lord, judge between us and our people with truth. You are the
best of judges.' (Qur'an, 7:89)

THEY RESPOND TO EVIL
WITH WHAT IS BETTER
Ward off evil with what is better. We know very well what they
express. (Qur'an, 23:96)
They will be given their reward twice over because they have been
steadfast and because they ward off the bad with the good and
give from what we have provided for them. (Qur'an, 28:54)
A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad
with something better and, if there is enmity between you and
someone else, he will be like a bosom friend. (Qur'an, 41:34)
