Or do they indeed really own a portion of Allah's kingdom? In
that case they do not give so much as a scrap to other people!
(Qur'an, 4:53)
Will they not ponder the Qur'an? If it had been from other than
Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it. (Qur'an,
4:82)
Do those who take the unbelievers as protectors, rather than the
believers, hope to find power and strength with them? Power and
strength belong entirely to Allah. (Qur'an, 4:139)
Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before
them which We had established on the earth far more firmly than
We have established you? We sent down heaven upon them in
abundant rain and made rivers flow under them. But We destroyed
them for their wrong actions and raised up further generations
after them. (Qur'an, 6:6)
Does not man see that We created him from a drop yet there he is,
an open antagonist! (Qur'an, 36:77)
Say: 'What do you think? If Allah's punishment were to come upon
you or the Hour, would you call on other than Allah if you are
being truthful? (Qur'an, 6:40)
Say: 'Can any of your partner-gods bring creation out of nothing
and then regenerate it?' Say: 'Allah brings creation out of nothing
and then regenerates it. So how have you been perverted?' (Qur'an,
10:34)
Say: 'What do you think? If Allah took away your hearing and
your sight and sealed up your hearts, what god is there, other
than Allah, who could give them back to you?' Look how We vary
the Signs, yet still they turn away! (Qur'an, 6:46)
What are they waiting for but for the angels to come to them or for
your Lord Himself to come, or for one of your Lord's Signs to
come? On the day that one of your Lord's Signs does come, no
faith which a self professes will be of any use to it if it did not
believe before and earn good in its faith. Say: 'Wait, then; We too
are waiting.' (Qur'an, 6:158)
