Death to the conjecturers: (Qur'an, 51:10)

           THEY SUFFER
           FROM A GREAT DELUSION
           If Allah were to hasten evil for people the way they try to hasten
           good, their term would already have been completed for them.
           We abandon those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly
           in their excessive insolence. (Qur'an, 10:11)
           Who is there who could be a force for you, to come to your support,
           apart from the All-Merciful? The unbelievers are only living in
           delusion. (Qur'an, 67:20)
           Do you suppose that most of them hear or understand? They are
           just like cattle. Indeed they are even more astray! (Qur'an, 25:44)
           And the True Promise is very close, the eyes of those who did not
           believe will be transfixed: 'Alas for us! We were unmindful of this!
           No, rather we were definitely wrongdoers.' (Qur'an, 21:97)

           THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH
           He said, 'All knowledge is with Allah. I only transmit to you what
           I have been sent with.But I see that you are a people who are
           ignorant.' (Qur'an, 46:23)
           If their turning away is hard on you, then go down a tunnel deep
           into the earth, if you can, or climb up a ladder into heaven, and
           bring them a Sign. If Allah had wanted to He would have gathered
           them all to guidance. So do not be among the ignorant. (Qur'an,
           6:35)
           Pharaoh sent marshals into the cities: 'These people are a small
           group and we find them irritating and we constitute a vigilant
           majority.' (Qur'an, 26:53-56)
           When they are told, 'Believe in the way that the people believe,'
           they say, 'What! Are we to believe in the way that fools believe?'
           No indeed! They are the fools, but they do not know it. (Qur'an,
           2:13)
