But those who do not believe are full of vain glory and entrenched
           in hostility. (Qur'an, 38:2)

           THEY LEAD EACH OTHER TO HELL
           In this way We have appointed as enemies to every Prophet satans
           from both mankind and from the jinn, who inspire each other with
           delusions by means of specious words–if your Lord had willed,
           they would not have done it, so abandon them and all they
           fabricate. (Qur'an, 6:112)
           We made them leaders, summoning to the Fire, and on the Day of
           Rising they will not be helped. (Qur'an, 28:41)
           Arguing in it with one another, they will say, 'By Allah, we were
           plainly misguided when We equated you with the Lord of all the
           worlds. It was only the evildoers who misguided us (Qur'an, 26:96-
           99)
           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)
           Those against whom the Word has been justly carried out will say,
           'Our Lord, those people we misled, we only misled them as we
           too were misled. We declare our innocence to You. It was not us
           they were worshipping!' (Qur'an, 28:63)
           those who followed will say, 'If only we could have another chance,
           we would disown them just as they have disowned us.' In that
           way Allah will show them their actions as a cause of anguish and
           remorse for them. They will never emerge from the Fire. (Qur'an,
           2:167)
           He will say, 'Enter the Fire together with the nations of jinn and
           men who have passed away before you.' Each time a nation enters,
           it will curse its sister nation, until, when they are all gathered
           together in it, the last of them will say to the first, 'Our Lord, those
           are the ones who misguided us, so give them a double punishment
           in the Fire.' He will say, 'Each will receive double. But you do not
           know it.' (Qur'an, 7:38)
