THEY TRY TO DEFAME THE BELIEVERS
WITH CALUMNIES
The ruling circle of Pharaoh's people said, 'This is certainly a
skilled magician who desires to expel you from your land, so what
do you recommend?' (Qur'an, 7:109-110)
Furthermore they say, 'A muddled jumble of dreams!' and, 'He
has invented it!' and, 'He is a poet!' and, 'Let him bring us a Sign
like those sent to previous peoples.' (Qur'an, 21:5)
What is he but a man who has invented a lie against Allah? We
do not believe in him.' (Qur'an, 23:38)
Has the Reminder been given to him of all of us?No indeed! He is
an impudent liar.' (Qur'an, 54:25)
Those who do not believe say, 'This is nothing but a lie he has
invented and other people have helped him to do it. ' They have
brought injustice and falsehood. (Qur'an, 25:4)
THEY ARE ARROGANT AND SPOILT
'Do not run away! Return to the life of luxury you enjoyed and to
the places where you lived, so that you can be interrogated!'
(Qur'an, 21:13)
How many cities We have destroyed which lived in insolent
ingratitude! There are their houses, never again inhabited after
them, except a little. It was We Who were their Heir. (Qur'an, 28:58)
Qarun was one of the people of Musa but he lorded it over them.
We gave him treasures, the keys alone to which were a heavy
weight for a party of strong men. When his people said to him,
'Do not gloat. Allah does not love people who gloat. (Qur'an, 28:76)
'No, the fact is that My Signs came to you but you denied them and
were arrogant and were one of the unbelievers.' (Qur'an, 39:59)

THEY DO NOT ACCEPT
THEIR HELPLESSNESS
'Taste that! You are the mighty one, the noble one! This is the very
thing you used to doubt.' (Qur'an, 44:49-50)
