Those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and sell
            it cheap, take nothing into their bellies but the Fire. On the Day of
            Rising Allah will not speak to them or purify them. They will have
            a painful punishment. (Qur'an, 2:174)
            Some people set up equals to Allah, loving them as they should
            love Allah. But those who believe have greater love for Allah. If
            only you could see those who do wrong at the time when they see
            the punishment, and that truly all strength belongs to Allah, and
            that Allah is severe in punishment. (Qur'an, 2:165)
            People who consume the property of orphans wrongfully consume
            nothing in their bellies except fire. They will roast in a Searing
            Blaze. (Qur'an, 4:10)
            Those who practise interest will not rise from the grave except as
            someone driven mad by satan's touch. That is because they say,
            'Trade is the same as interest.' But Allah has permitted trade and
            He has forbidden interest. Whoever is given a warning by his Lord
            and then desists, can keep what he received in the past and his
            affair is Allah's concern. But all who return to it will be the
            Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever.
            (Qur'an, 2:275)
            When he is told to have fear of Allah, he is seized by pride which
            drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an
            evil resting-place! (Qur'an, 2:206)
            As for those who reject Allah's Signs, and kill the Prophets without
            any right to do so, and kill those who command justice, give them
            news of a painful punishment. (Qur'an, 3:21)
            But those who do not believe and deny Our Signs are the
            Companions of the Blazing Fire. (Qur'an, 5:10)
            Do not be like those who split up and differed after the Clear Signs
            came to them. They will have a terrible punishment. (Qur'an,
            3:105)
