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)
