ALLAH'S QUESTIONS
                       TO THE UNBELIEVERS


           Does man reckon he will be left to go on unchecked? Was he not
           a drop of ejaculated sperm, then an alaq (embryo) which He
           created and shaped, making from it both sexes, male and female?
           Is He Who does this not able to bring the dead to life? (Qur'an,
           75:36-40)
           How can you reject Allah, when you were dead and then He gave
           you life, then He will make you die and then give you life again,
           then you will be returned to Him? (Qur'an, 2:28)
           Do they not know that Allah knows what they keep secret and
           what they make public? (Qur'an, 2:77)
           They say, 'The Fire will only touch us for a number of days.' Say,
           'Have you made a contract with Allah—then Allah will not break
           His contract—or are you rather saying about Allah what you do
           not know?' (Qur'an, 2:80)
           When they are told, 'Follow what Allah has sent down to you,'
           They say, 'We are following what we found our fathers doing.'
           What, even though their fathers did not understand a thing and
           were not guided! (Qur'an, 2:170)
           Or do those who do bad actions imagine they can outstrip Us?
           How bad their judgement is! (Qur'an, 29:4)
           Is it other than the religion of  Allah that you desire, when
           everything in the heavens and earth, willingly or unwillingly,
           submits to Him and to Him you will be returned? (Qur'an, 3:83)
           Who is there who could provide for you if He withholds His
           provision? Yet still they obstinately persist in insolence and
           evasion. (Qur'an, 67:21)
           What harm would it have done them to have believed in Allah
           and the Last Day and to have given of what Allah has provided for
           them? Allah knows everything about them. (Qur'an, 4:39)
