When he is told to have fear of Allah, he is seized by pride which
drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an
evil resting-place! (Qur'an, 2:206)

THEY WORK TO LEAD PEOPLE
FROM ALLAH'S WAY
But there are some people who trade in distracting tales to
misguide people from Allah's Way knowing nothing about it and
to make a mockery of it. Such people will have a humiliating
punishment. (Qur'an, 31:6)
Allah desires to turn towards you, but those who pursue their
lower appetites desire to make you deviate completely. (Qur'an,
4:27)
Those who bar access to the way of Allah desiring to make it
crooked and reject the hereafter. (Qur'an, 11:19)
If they come upon you, they will be your enemies and stretch out
their hands and tongues against you with evil intent, and they
would dearly love you to become unbelievers. (Qur'an, 60:2)
Those who bar access to the Way of Allah, desiring to make it
crooked, and reject the hereafter.' (Qur'an, 7:45)
So on the Day of Rising they will carry the full weight of their own
burdens and some of the burdens of those they misguided without
knowledge. What an evil load they bear! (Qur'an, 16:25)
Say: 'Are we to call on something besides Allah which can neither
help nor harm us, and to turn on our heels after Allah has guided
us, like someone the satans have lured away in the earth, leaving
him confused and stupefied, despite the fact that he has
companions calling him to guidance, saying, "Come with us!"?'
Say: 'Allah's guidance, that is true guidance. We are commanded
to submit as Muslims to the Lord of all the worlds, (Qur'an, 6:71)
As for those who did not believe and barred access to the way of
Allah, We will heap punishment on top of their punishment
because of the corruption they brought about. (Qur'an, 16:88)
