When they are told to prostrate to the All-Merciful, they say, 'And
what is the All-Merciful? Are we to prostrate to something you
command us to?' And it merely makes them run away all the more.
(Qur'an, 25:60)
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)
When Our Signs are recited to such a person, he turns away
arrogantly as if he had not heard, as if there was a great weight in
his ears. So give him news of a painful punishment. (Qur'an, 31:7)
Or do they say, 'He is a man possessed,' when he has brought the
truth to them? But most of them hate the truth. (Qur'an, 23:70)
It is He Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the Religion
of Truth to exalt it over every other religion, even though the
idolaters detest it. (Qur'an, 9:33)
We brought you the truth but most of you hated the truth. (Qur'an,
43:78)

THEY DENY THE MESSENGERS
ALLAH HAS SENT
The people of Nuh denied the truth before them, and the
Confederates after them. Every nation planned to seize its
Messenger and used false arguments to rebut the truth. So I seized
them, and how was My retribution! (Qur'an, 40:5)

THEY ARE DOUBTFUL OF THE QUR'AN
But those who do not believe will not cease to be in doubt of it
(the Qur'an) until the Hour comes on them suddenly or the
punishment of a desolate Day arrives. (Qur'an, 22:55)

THEY DO NOT TAKE HEED
Not one of your Lord's Signs comes to them without their turning
away from it. (Qur'an, 36:46)
