THOSE WHO ARE TRULY FAITHFUL
            ARE FEW IN NUMBER
            But most people, for all your eagerness, are not believers. (Qur'an,
            12:103)
            Alif Lam Mim Ra. Those are the Signs of the Book. And what has
            been sent down to you from your Lord is the Truth. But most
            people have no faith. (Qur'an, 13:1)
            Most of them do not believe in Allah without associating others
            with Him. (Qur'an, 12:106)
            They swear by Allah with their most earnest oaths that Allah will
            not raise up those who die, when, on the contrary, it is a binding
            promise on Him; but most people do not know it. (Qur'an, 16:38)
            That is Allah's promise. Allah does not break His promise. But
            most people do not know it. (Qur'an, 30:6)
            So set your face firmly towards the Religion, as a pure natural
            believer, Allah's natural pattern on which He made mankind.
            There is no changing Allah's creation. That is the true Religion—
            but most people do not know it. (Qur'an, 30:30)
            The creation of the heavens and earth is far greater than the
            creation of mankind. But most of mankind do not know it. The
            blind and the seeing are not the same. Nor are those who believe
            and do right actions the same as evildoers. What little heed they
            pay! The Hour is coming—there is no doubt about it. But most of
            mankind have no faith. (Qur'an, 40:57-59)
            Say: 'Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, and then will
            gather you together for the Day of Rising about which there is no
            doubt. But most people do not know it.' (Qur'an, 45:26)

            ALL THE PROPHETS HAVE CALLED
            PEOPLE TO THE RELIGION OF TRUTH
            Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian. But a man of pure
            natural belief—a Muslim. He was not one of the idolaters. (Qur'an,
            3:67)
