THEY ARE FRIENDS OF SATAN
           Those who believe fight in the Way of Allah. Those who do not
           believe fight in the way of false gods. So fight the friends of satan!
           Satan's scheming is always feeble. (Qur'an, 4:76)

           THEY CAN MARRY ONLY EACH OTHER
           Corrupt women are for corrupt men and corrupt men are for
           corrupt women, Good women are for good men and good men
           are for good women. The latter are innocent of what they say. They
           will have forgiveness and generous provision. (Qur'an, 24:26)

           THEY DO NOT CARE FOR WOMEN
           They allot daughters to Allah–glory be to Him!–while they have
           (sons) they want! When one of them is given the good news of a
           baby girl, his face darkens and he is furious. He hides away from
           people because of the evil of the good news he has been given.
           Should he keep her ignominiously or bury her in the earth? What
           an evil judgement they make! (Qur'an, 16:57-59)
           Has He then taken daughters from what He has created and chosen
           sons for you? When any of them is given the good news of the
           very thing which he himself has ascribed to the All-Merciful his
           face darkens and he is furious. What! Is then one brought up
           among pretty trinkets who cannot produce a cogent argument (to
           be associated with Allah)!' (Qur'an, 43:16-18)

           ALL THEIR ACTIONS IN THE LIFE
           OF THIS WORLD WILL COME TO NOTHING
           Say: 'Shall I inform you of the greatest losers in their actions?
           People whose efforts in the life of this world are misguided while
           they suppose that they are doing good.' Those are the people who
           reject their Lord's Signs and the meeting with Him. Their actions
           will come to nothing and, on the Day of Rising, We will not assign
           them any weight. (Qur'an, 18:103-105)
