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)
