THOSE WHO DENY, DESPITE THEIR
            CERTAINTY OF THE EXISTENCE OF ALLAH
            Say: 'Who provides for you out of heaven and earth? Who controls
            hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and
            the dead from the living? Who directs the whole affair?' They will
            say, 'Allah.' Say, 'So will you not guard against evil?' (Qur'an, 10:31)
            If you asked them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' they
            would say, 'Allah!' Say: 'Praise be to Allah!' But most of them do
            not know. (Qur'an, 31:25)
            If you asked them who created them, they would say, 'Allah!' So
            how have they been perverted? (Qur'an, 43:87)
            Do you really hope they will follow you in faith when a group of
            them heard Allah's Word and then, after grasping it, knowingly
            distorted it? (Qur'an, 2:75)


            THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE DUE
            TO THEIR FEAR OF FACING PRESSURE
            FROM THE UNBELIEVERS
            No one believed in Musa except for a few of his people out of fear
            that Pharaoh, and the elders, would persecute them. Pharaoh was
            high and mighty in the land. He was one of the profligate. (Qur'an,
            10:83)
            They say, 'If we follow the guidance with you, we shall be forcibly
            uprooted from our land.' Have We not established a safe haven
            for them to which produce of every kind is brought, provision
            direct from Us? But most of them do not know it. (Qur'an, 28:57)


            THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE
            IN RESURRECTION
            They say, 'When we have been absorbed into the earth, are we
            then to be in a new creation?' In fact they reject the meeting with
            their Lord. (Qur'an, 32:10)
