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)
Leave the person I created on his own to Me alone, him to whom
I have given great wealth and sons who stay with him, and whose
way I have smoothed. Then he wants Me to add yet more! (Qur'an,
74:11-15)
When you have completed your (pilgrimage) rites, remember
Allah as you used to remember your forefathers–or even more.
There are some people who say, 'Our Lord, give us good in this
world.' They will have no share in the hereafter. (Qur'an, 2:200)
Say: 'If your fathers or your sons or your brothers or your wives
or your tribe, or any wealth you have acquired, or any business you
fear may slump, or any house which pleases you, are dearer to
you than Allah and His Messenger and striving in His Way, then
wait until Allah brings about His command. Allah does not guide
people who are deviators.' (Qur'an, 9:24)
That is because you made a mockery of Allah's Signs and the life
of this world deluded you.'Therefore, today they will not get out
of it. They will not be able to appease Allah (Qur'an, 45:35)
THEY HAVE SUPERSTITIONS
Allah did not institute any such thing as bahira or sa'iba or wasila
or hami. Those who did not believe invented lies against Allah.
Most of them do not use their intellect. (Qur'an, 5:103)
That is because Allah – He is the Truth, and what you call upon
besides Him is falsehood. Allah is the All-High, the Most Great.
(Qur'an, 31:30)
Allah has not allotted to any man two hearts within his breast,
nor has He made those of your wives you equate with your
mothers your actual mothers, nor has He made your adopted sons
your actual sons. These are just words coming out of your mouths.
But Allah speaks the truth and He guides to the Way. (Qur'an,
33:4)
