CONSCIENCE



            THE BELIEVERS DEFINITELY FOLLOW
            THE TRUTH THE MOMENT THEY SEE IT
            We would be inventing lies against Allah if we returned to your
            religion after Allah has saved us from it. We could never return to
            it unless  Allah our Lord so willed. Our Lord encompasses
            everything in His knowledge. We have put our trust in Allah. Our
            Lord, judge between us and our people with truth. You are the
            best of judges.' (Qur'an, 7:89)
            And He also (turned) towards the three who were left behind, so
            that when the earth became narrow for them, for all its great
            breadth, and their own selves became constricted for them and
            they realised that there was no refuge from Allah except in Him,
            He turned to them so that they might turn to Him. Allah is the
            Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful. (Qur'an, 9:118)


            SOME OF THE UNBELIEVERS DENY
            THE TRUTH IN SPITE OF THEIR
            CERTAINTY ABOUT IT
            And they repudiated them wrongly and haughtily, in spite of their
            own certainty about them. See the final fate of the corrupters.
            (Qur'an, 27:14)
            They consulted among themselves and said, 'It is you yourselves
            who are wrongdoers.' But then they relapsed back into their
            disbelief: 'You know full well these idols cannot talk.' (Qur'an,
            21:64-65)
            People of the Book! Why do you mix truth with falsehood and
            knowingly conceal the truth? (Qur'an, 3:71)
