NOT TO FOLLOW THE MAJORITY
            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)
            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)
            Most of them do not believe in Allah without associating others
            with Him. (Qur'an, 12:106)
            The Egyptian who had bought him told his wife, 'Look after him
            with honour and respect. It's possible he will be of use to us or
            perhaps we might adopt him as a son.' And thus We established
            Yusuf in the land to teach him the true meaning of events. Allah
            is in control of His affair. However, most of mankind do not know.
            (Qur'an, 12:21)
            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. (Qur'an,
            40:57)
            The Hour is coming—there is no doubt about it. But most of
            mankind have no faith. (Qur'an, 40:59)


            TO BELIEVE IN THE QUR'AN
            Alif Lam Ra. A Book whose verses are perfectly constructed, and
            then demarcated, coming directly from One Who is All-Wise, All-
            Aware. 'Do not worship anyone but Allah! I am a warner and
            bringer of good news to you from Him. (Qur'an, 11:1-2)
