THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN ALLAH
Fight those of the people who were given the Book who do not
believe in Allah and the Last Day and who do not make forbidden
what Allah and His Messenger have made forbidden and do not
take as their religion the True Religion, until they pay the polltax
with their own hands in a state of complete abasement. (Qur'an,
9:29)
He used not to believe in Allah the Magnificent, (Qur'an, 69:33)

THEY HAVE NO FEAR OF ALLAH
No fresh reminder comes to them from their Lord without their
listening to it as if it was a game. (Qur'an, 21:2)
Say: 'Who provides for you out of heaven and earth? Who controls
hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and
the dead from the living? Who directs the whole affair?' They will
say, 'Allah.' Say, 'So will you not guard against evil?' (Qur'an, 10:31)

THEY WORSHIP OTHER THINGS
THAN ALLAH
Do those who do not believe imagine that they can take My
servants as protectors instead of Me? We have prepared Hell as
hospitality for the unbelievers! (Qur'an, 18:102)
They have taken gods besides Allah so that perhaps they may be
helped. (Qur'an, 36:74)

THEY ARE DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS ALLAH
They allot a portion of the provision We have given them to things
they have no knowledge of at all. By Allah, you will be asked
about what you invented! They allot daughters to Allah–glory be
to Him!–while they have (sons) they want! (Qur'an, 16:56-57)
When they were told, 'There is no god but Allah,' they were
arrogant. (Qur'an, 37:35)
