Those who exult in what they have done and love to be praised for
what they have not done should not suppose that they have
escaped the punishment. They will have a painful punishment.
(Qur'an, 3:188)
You who believe! Do not consume one another's property by false
means, but only by means of mutually agreed trade. And do not
kill yourselves. Allah is Most Merciful to you. As for anyone who
does that out of enmity and wrongdoing, We will roast him in a
Fire. That is an easy matter for Allah. (Qur'an, 4:29-30)
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)
As for anyone who kills a believer deliberately, his repayment is
Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. Allah is angry with him
and has cursed him, and has prepared for him a terrible
punishment. (Qur'an, 4:93)
The angels ask those they take while they are wronging
themselves, 'What were your circumstances?' They reply, 'We were
oppressed on earth.' They say, 'Was Allah's earth not wide enough
for you to have migrated elsewhere in it?' The shelter of such
people will be Hell. What an evil destination! (Qur'an, 4:97)
You who believe! Many of the rabbis and monks devour people's
property under false pretences and bar people from access to the
Way of Allah. As for those who hoard up gold and silver and do
not spend it in the Way of Allah, give them the news of a painful
punishment. (Qur'an, 9:34)
Those who say that the Messiah, son of Maryam, is Allah, are
unbelievers. The Messiah said, 'Tribe of Israel! Worship Allah, my
Lord and your Lord. If anyone associates anything with Allah,
Allah has forbidden him the Garden and his refuge will be the
Fire.' The wrongdoers will have no helpers. (Qur'an, 5:72)
