How can you be unbelievers, when Allah's Signs are recited to
you and the Messenger is there among you? Whoever holds fast
to Allah has been guided to a straight path. (Qur'an, 3:101)
We did not send any Messenger or any Prophet before you without
satan insinuating something into his recitation while he was
reciting. But Allah revokes whatever satan insinuates and then
Allah confirms His Signs—Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise—so
that He can make what satan insinuates a trial for those with
sickness in their hearts and for those whose hearts are hard—the
wrongdoers are entrenched in hostility.(Qur'an, 22:52-53)
Allah fulfilled His promise to you when you were slaughtering
them by His permission. But then you faltered, disputing the
command, and disobeyed after He showed you what you love.
Among you are those who want this world and among you are
those who want the hereafter. Then He turned you from them in
order to test you—but He has pardoned you. Allah shows favour
to the believers. (Qur'an, 3:152)
But if anyone opposes the Messenger after the guidance has
become clear to him, and follows other than the path of the
believers, We will hand him over to whatever he has turned to,
and We will roast him in Hell. What an evil destination! (Qur'an,
4:115)
When a sura is sent down saying: 'Believe in Allah and strive
together with His Messenger,' those among them with wealth will
ask you to excuse them, saying, 'Let us remain with those who
stay behind.' (Qur'an, 9:86)
When they are summoned to Allah and His Messenger, so that he
can judge between them, a group of them immediately turn away.
But if right is on their side, they come to him most submissively!
Is there a sickness in their hearts or do they have misgivings or do
they fear that Allah and His Messenger will be unjust to them?
No, it is simply that they are wrongdoers. (Qur'an, 24:48-50)
