Page 197 - Learning from the Qur'an

Some of the desert Arabs around you are hypocrites and some of
the people of Madina are obdurate in their hypocrisy. You do not
know them but We know them. We will punish them twice over
and then they will be returned to a terrible punishment. (Qur'an,
9:101)
When news of any matter reaches them they spread it about,
whether it is of a reassuring or disquieting nature. If they had only
referred it to the Messenger and those in command among them,
those among them able to discern the truth about it would have
had proper knowledge of it. If it were not for Allah's favour to
you and His mercy, all but a very few of you would have followed
satan. (Qur'an, 4:83)

THEY CAUSE CORRUPTION
SAYING THEY ARE
PUTTING THINGS RIGHT
When they are told, 'Do not cause corruption on the earth,' they
say, 'We are only putting things right.' No indeed! They are the
corrupters, but they are not aware of it. (Qur'an, 2:11-12)

THEY ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE
THE BELIEVERS BY MAKING
THEIR OATHS INTO A CLOAK
They have made their oaths into a cloak and barred the Way of
Allah. What they have done is truly evil. That is because they have
believed and then returned to disbelief. So their hearts have been
sealed up and they cannot understand. (Qur'an, 63:2-3)
