Page 215 - Learning from the Qur'an

In the same way their idols have made killing their children appear
good to many of the idolaters, in order to destroy them and confuse
them in their religion. If Allah had willed, they would not have
done it; so abandon them and what they fabricate. (Qur'an, 6:137)
The ruling circle of Pharaoh's people said, 'Are you going to leave
Musa and his people to cause corruption in the earth and abandon
you and your gods?' He said, 'We will kill their sons and let their
women live. We have absolute power over them!' (Qur'an, 7:127)

THEY NEVER ABANDON
THEIR PERVERTED BELIEFS
When they are told, 'Come to what Allah has sent down and to
the Messenger,' they say, 'What we found our fathers doing is
enough for us.' What! Even if their fathers did not know anything
and were not guided! (Qur'an, 5:104)
Whenever they commit an indecent act, they say, 'We found our
fathers doing it and Allah commanded us to do it too.' Say: 'Allah
does not command indecency. Do you say things about Allah you
do not know?' (Qur'an, 7:28)
THEY SEEK TO DISTORT
THE VERSES OF ALLAH
But as for those who strive against My Signs and try to thwart
them, they will be the Companions of the Blazing Fire. (Qur'an,
22:51)
Those who prefer the life of this world to the hereafter, and bar
access to the way of Allah, wanting to make it crooked; they are
greatly misguided. (Qur'an, 14:3)
When We let people taste mercy after hardship has afflicted them,
immediately they plot against Our Signs. Say: 'Allah is swifter at
plotting.' Your plotting is recorded by Our Messengers. (Qur'an,
10:21)
Those who bar access to the way of Allah desiring to make it
crooked and reject the hereafter. (Qur'an, 11:19)
