When they are told, 'Believe in the way that the people believe,'
they say, 'What! Are we to believe in the way that fools believe?'
No indeed! They are the fools, but they do not know it. (Qur'an,
2:13)
The ruling circle of those of his people who did not believe said,
'We do not see you as anything but a human being like ourselves.
We do not see anyone following you but the lowest of us,
unthinkingly. We do not see you as superior to us. On the contrary,
we consider you to be liars.' (Qur'an, 11:27)
Am I not better than this man who is contemptible and can scarcely
make anything clear? (Qur'an, 43:52)
Those who do not believe say of those who believe, 'If there was
any good in it, they would not have beaten us to it.' And since
they have not been guided by it, they are bound to say, 'This is an
antiquated falsehood.' (Qur'an, 46:11)

THOSE WHO UNDERESTIMATE THE WISDOM
AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE QUR'AN
When Our Signs are recited to them, they say, 'We have already
heard all this. If we wanted, we could say the same thing. This is
nothing but the myths of previous peoples.' (Qur'an, 8:31)
We and our forefathers were promised this before. This is nothing
but the myths of previous peoples!' (Qur'an, 23:83)
When Our Signs are recited to him, he says, 'Just myths of previous
peoples!' (Qur'an, 68:15)

THOSE WHO DETERMINE WHAT IS
PERMITTED AND WHAT IS FORBIDDEN
ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN IDEAS
Those, who kill their children foolishly without any knowledge
and make what Allah has provided for them forbidden, inventing
lies against Allah, such people are lost. They are misguided. They
are not guided. (Qur'an, 6:140)
