LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN


             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)
             Yes, everything in the heavens and earth belongs to God. Yes, God’s
             promise is true but most of them do not know it. (Surah Yunus,
             55)
             What will those who invent lies against God think on the Day of

             Rising? God shows favour to mankind but most of them are not
             thankful. (Surah Yunus, 60)
             How many Signs there are in the heavens and earth! Yet they pass
             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

             to God! They are not! But most people do not know it. (Surat an-
             Nahl, 75)
             They acknowledge God’s blessing and then deny it. Most of them
             are disbelievers. (Surat an-Nahl, 83)
             Have they taken other deities besides Him? Say to them, Bring your
             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)
