THE UNBELIEVERS DENY
WHAT IS AGAINST THEIR SELVES
We made a covenant with the tribe of Israel and We sent
Messengers to them. Each time a Messenger came to them with
something their lower selves did not desire, they denied some
and they murdered others. (Qur'an, 5:70)

THE BELIEVERS PURIFY THEIR SELVES
And the self and what proportioned it and inspired it with
depravity or heedfulness, he who purifies it has succeeded,
(Qur'an, 91:7-9)

THE UNBELIEVERS COVER THEIR SELVES UP
And the self and what proportioned it and inspired it with
depravity or heedfulness, he who purifies it has succeeded, he
who covers it up has failed. (Qur'an, 91:7-10)

THE UNBELIEVERS FOLLOW
THEIR OWN WHIMS AND DESIRES
Have you seen him who has taken his whims and desires to be
his god? Will you then be his guardian? (Qur'an, 25:43)
Is someone on a clear path from his Lord like those whose bad
actions have been made to seem good to them and who follow
their own desires? (Qur'an, 47:14)
Among them are those who listen to you and then, when they
leave your presence, say to those who have been given knowledge,
'What was that he just said?'They are those whose hearts Allah
has sealed up and who follow their own desires. (Qur'an, 47:16)

PEOPLE WHO DENY ONLY WRONG THEMSELVES
Agroup of the People of the Book would love to misguide you.
They only misguide themselves but they are not aware of it.
(Qur'an, 3:69)
