When he is told to have fear of Allah, he is seized by pride which
drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an
evil resting-place! (Qur'an, 2:206)

THEY ARE UNCLEAN
You who believe! The idolaters are unclean, so after this year they
should not come near the Masjid al-Haram. If you fear
impoverishment, Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He
wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 9:28)

THEY ARE UNGRATEFUL
In the same way We have sent you among a nation before which
other nations passed away, to recite to them what We have revealed
to you. Yet they still reject the All-Merciful. Say: 'He is my Lord;
there is no god but Him. I put my trust in Him and I turn to Him.'
(Qur'an, 13:30)
But when He removes the harm from you, a group of you associate
others with their Lord, ungrateful for what We have given them.
Enjoy yourselves. You will soon know! (Qur'an, 16:54-55)
If We let man taste mercy from Us, and then take it away from
him, he is despairing, ungrateful; (Qur'an, 11:9)
When harm occurs to you at sea, those you call on vanish – except
for Him alone! But when He delivers you to dry land, you turn
away. Man truly is ungrateful. (Qur'an, 17:67)
Allah has given you wives from among yourselves, and given you
children and grandchildren from your wives, and provided good
things for you. So why do they believe in falsehood and reject the
blessings of Allah, (Qur'an, 16:72)
When harm touches man, he calls on Us, lying on his side or sitting
down or standing up. Then when We remove the harm from him
he carries on as if he had never called on Us when the harm first
touched him. In that way We make what they have done appear
good to the profligate. (Qur'an, 10:12)
