THEY CANNOT BEAR ALLAH
            BEING REMEMBERED
            Those who do not believe say, 'Do not listen to this Qur'an. Drown
            it out so that hopefully you will gain the upper hand.' (Qur'an,
            41:26)
            When Our Signs are recited to them–Clear Signs–you can detect
            denial in the faces of those who do not believe. They all but assault
            those who recite Our Signs to them! Say: 'Shall I inform you of
            something worse than that? The Fire which Allah has promised
            those who do not believe. What an evil destination!' (Qur'an, 22:72)
            We have placed covers on their hearts, preventing them from
            understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. When you mention
            your Lord alone in the Qur'an, they turn their backs and run away.
            (Qur'an, 17:46)
            Those who do not believe all but strike you down with their evil
            looks when they hear the Reminder and say, 'He is quite mad.'
            (Qur'an, 68:51)
            Those whose eyes were blind to My remembrance and whose ears
            were unable to hear (the Qur'an). (Qur'an, 18:101)
            They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths. But
            Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the
            unbelievers detest it. (Qur'an, 9:32)
            When Allah is mentioned on His own, the hearts of those who do
            not believe in the hereafter shrink back shuddering, but when
            others apart from Him are mentioned, they jump for joy. (Qur'an,
            39:45)

            THEY SUPPOSE THAT ALLAH IS UNAWARE
            OF WHAT THEY DO
            You did not think to shield yourselves from your hearing, sight and
            skin testifying against you and you thought that Allah would
            never know much of what you did. (Qur'an, 41:22)
