But as for those who break Allah's contract after it has been agreed
and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined, and cause
corruption in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will
have the Evil Abode. (Qur'an, 13:25)
Would that there had been more people with a vestige of good
among the generations of those who came before you, who forbade
corruption in the earth, other than the few among them whom We
saved. Those who did wrong gladly pursued the life of luxury
that they were given and were evildoers. (Qur'an, 11:116)
Those who reject Allah after having believed—except for someone
forced to do it whose heart remains at rest in its faith—but as for
those whose breasts become dilated with disbelief, anger from
Allah will come down on them. They will have a terrible
punishment. (Qur'an, 16:106)
Do not say about what your lying tongues describe: 'This is lawful
and this is forbidden,' inventing lies against Allah. Those who
invent lies against Allah are not successful – (this world is) a brief
enjoyment, then they will have a painful punishment. (Qur'an,
16:116-117)
As for anyone who desires this fleeting existence, We hasten in it
whatever We will to whoever We want. Then We will consign him
to Hell where he will roast, reviled and driven out. (Qur'an, 17:18)
Your Lord says, 'Call on Me and I will answer you.Those who are
too proud to worship Me will enter Hell abject.' (Qur'an, 40:60)
Have you seen him who rejects Our Signs and says, 'I will certainly
be given wealth and children there.' Has he surveyed the Unseen
or has he a contract with the All-Merciful? No indeed! We will
write down what he says and prolong the punishment for him.
(Qur'an, 19:77-79)
Do those who plot evil actions feel secure that Allah will not cause
the earth to swallow them up or that a punishment will not come
upon them from where they least expect? (Qur'an, 16:45)
