They say, 'Why has a Sign not been sent down to him from his
           Lord?' Say: 'The Unseen belongs to Allah alone. So wait, I am
           waiting with you.' (Qur'an, 10:20)
           They say, 'Why has an angel not been sent down to him?' If We
           were to send down an angel, that would be the end of the affair and
           they would have no reprieve. (Qur'an, 6:8)
           They ask, 'Why has no Sign been sent down to him from his Lord?'
           Say, 'Allah has the power to send down a Sign.' But most of them
           do not know it. (Qur'an, 6:37)

           THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE
           ON THE RIGHT WAY
           When they are told, 'Believe in what Allah has sent down,' they say,
           'Our faith is in what was sent down to us,' and they reject anything
           beyond that, even though it is the truth, confirming what they
           have. Say, 'Why then, if you are believers, did you previously kill
           the Prophets of Allah?' (Qur'an, 2:91)
           And what of him the evil of whose actions appears fine to him so
           that he sees them as good? Allah misguides whoever He wills and
           guides whoever He wills. So do not let yourself waste away out
           of regret for them. Allah knows what they do. (Qur'an, 35:8)
           They (hypocrites) will call out to them, 'Were we not with you?'
           They will reply, 'Indeed you were. But you made trouble for
           yourselves and hung back and and doubted and false hopes
           deluded you until Allah's command arrived. The Deluder deluded
           you about Allah. (Qur'an, 57:14)
           We have assigned close comrades to them who have made what
           is before them and behind them seem good to them. And the
           statement about the nations, both of jinn and men, who passed
           away before them has proved true of them as well. Certainly they
           were lost. (Qur'an, 41:25)
