Among them is a group who distort the Book with their tongues
so that you think it is from the Book when it is not from the Book.
They say, 'It is from Allah,' but it is not from Allah. They tell a lie
against Allah and they know it. (Qur'an, 3:78)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies
against Allah or denies His Signs, or who says, 'It has been revealed
to me,' when nothing has been revealed to him, or someone who
says, 'I will send down the same as Allah has sent down'? If you
could only see the wrongdoers in the throes of death when the
angels are stretching out their hands, saying, 'Disgorge your own
selves! Today you will be repaid with the punishment of
humiliation for saying something other than the truth about Allah,
and being arrogant about His Signs.' (Qur'an, 6:93)
Those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and sell
it cheap, take nothing into their bellies but the Fire. On the Day of
Rising Allah will not speak to them or purify them. They will have
a painful punishment. (Qur'an, 2:174)
Woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then
say 'This is from Allah' to sell it for a paltry price. Woe to them for
what their hands have written! Woe to them for what they earn!
(Qur'an, 2:79)

THOSE WHO DESPISE THE BELIEVERS
Those who did evil used to laugh at those who believed. When
they passed by them, they would wink at one another. (Qur'an,
83:29-30)
The ruling circle of those of his people who did not believe said,
'We consider you a fool and think you are a liar.' (Qur'an, 7:66)
They say, 'If we return to Madina, the mightier will drive out the
inferior.'But all might belongs to Allah and to His Messenger and
the believers. But the hypocrites do not know this. (Qur'an, 63:8)
They said, 'Why should we believe you when the vilest people
follow you?' (Qur'an, 26:111)
