THEY ARE DISLOYAL IN
TIMES OF HARDSHIP
(More fitting for them) would be obedience and honourable words.
Once the matter is resolved upon, being true to Allah would be
better for them. (Qur'an, 47:21)
They said, 'We will never enter it, Musa, as long as they are there.
So you and your Lord go and fight. We will stay sitting here.' He
said, 'My Lord, I have no control over anyone but myself and my
brother, so make a clear distinction between us and this deviant
people.' He said, 'The land will be forbidden to them for forty
years during which they will wander aimlessly about the earth. Do
not waste grief on this deviant people.' (Qur'an, 5:24-26)

THEY SPEAK LIKE BELIEVERS
BEFORE FACING DIFFICULTY
You were longing for death before you met it. Now you have seen
it with your own eyes and you look (at it). (Qur'an, 3:143)
Those who believe say, 'If only a sura could be sent down.' But
when a straightforward sura is sent down and fighting is
mentioned in it, you see those with sickness in their hearts looking
at you with the look of someone about to faint from fear of death.
More fitting for them: (Qur'an, 47:20)
THEY ARE ARROGANT
When they are told, 'Come, and the Messenger of Allah will ask
forgiveness for you,' they turn their heads and you see them turn
away in haughty arrogance. (Qur'an, 63:5)

THEY MAY BE KNOWN BY THEIR MARKS,
LOOKS AND AMBIVALENT SPEECH
If We wished, We would show them to you and you would know
them by their mark and know them by their ambivalent speech.
Allah knows your actions. (Qur'an, 47:30)
