mouths but their hearts belie their words. Most of them are devi-
ators. (Surat at-Tawba, 8)
Most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Conjecture is of no
use whatsoever against the truth. God most certainly knows what
they are doing. (Surah Yunus, 36)

promise is true but most of them do not know it. (Surah Yunus,
55)

Rising? God shows favour to mankind but most of them are not
thankful. (Surah Yunus, 60)

them by, turning away from them. Most of them do not believe in
God without associating others with Him. (Surah Yusuf, 105-106)
God does make a metaphor: an owned slave possessing no power
over anything, and someone We have given plentiful provision who
gives out from it secretly and openly. Are they the same? Praise be

Nahl, 75)
They acknowledge God’s blessing and then deny it. Most of them
are disbelievers. (Surat an-Nahl, 83)

proofs. This is the reminder of those who are with me and the
reminder of those who were before me. But most of them do not
know the truth, so they turn away. (Surat al-Anbiya’, 24)
Or do they say that he is possessed? In fact, he has brought the
truth to them, but most of them abhor the truth. (Surat al-Mu’mi-
nun, 70)
