THEY COME OUT OF THE BELIEVERS
There is a group of you who propagated the lie. Do not suppose
it to be bad for you; rather it is good for you. Every one of them
will incur the evil he has earned and the one who took it on himself
to amplify it will receive a terrible punishment. (Qur'an, 24:11)

THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN ALLAH
Among the people there are some who say, 'We believe in Allah
and the Last Day,' when they are not believers. (Qur'an, 2:8)
Each time a sura is sent down there are some among them who say,
'Which of you has this increased in faith?' As for those who believe,
it increases them in faith and they rejoice at it. (Qur'an, 9:124)
When they meet those who believe, they say, 'We believe.' But
then when they go apart with their satans, they say, 'We are really
with you. We were only mocking.' (Qur'an, 2:14)

THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE QUR'AN
Each time a sura is sent down, they look at one another, implying,
'Can anyone see you?' Then they turn away. Allah has turned their
hearts away because they are people who do not understand.
(Qur'an, 9:127)
That is because they have believed and then returned to disbelief.
So their hearts have been sealed up and they cannot understand.
(Qur'an, 63:3)
They said, 'Shu'ayb, We do not understand much of what you say
and we see you are weak among us. Were it not for your clan, we
would have stoned you. We do not hold you in high esteem!'
(Qur'an, 11:91)

THEY ARE DOUBTFUL OF THE HEREAFTER
What! Are they in doubt about the meeting with their Lord? What!
Does He not encompass all things? (Qur'an, 41:54)
