THEY FIGHT AGAINST
THE RELIGION OF ALLAH
Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger,
will have the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever? That
is the great disgrace. (Qur'an, 9:63)
Permission to fight is given to those (believers) who are fought
against because they have been wronged–truly Allah has the
power to come to their support. (Qur'an, 22:39)

THEIR HEARTS ARE INSENSITIVE TO FAITH
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)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who is reminded of the
Signs of his Lord and then turns away from them, forgetting all that
he has done before? We have placed covers on their hearts,
preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their
ears. Though you call them to guidance, they will nonetheless
never be guided. (Qur'an, 18:57)
Have you seen him who takes his whims and desires to be his
god–whom Allah has misguided knowingly, sealing up his hearing
and his heart and placing a blindfold over his eyes? Who then will
guide him after Allah? So will you not pay heed? (Qur'an, 45:23)

THEIR HEARTS ARE FULL
OF AVARICE FOR THIS WORLD
So turn away from him who turns away from Our remembrance
and desires nothing but the life of this world. (Qur'an, 53:29)
Those who took their religion as a diversion and a game, and were
deluded by the life of this world.' Today We will forget them just
as they forgot the encounter of this Day and denied Our Signs.
(Qur'an, 7:51)
