23:89 They will say, “GOD.” Say, “Where did you go wrong?”
23:90 We have given them the truth, while they are liars.
23:91 GOD has never begotten a son. Nor was there ever any other god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have declared independence with his creations, and they would have competed with each other for dominance. GOD be glorified; far above their claims.
23:92 The Knower of all secrets and declarations; be He exalted, far above having a partner.
23:93 Say, “ My Lord, whether You show me (the retribution) they have incurred,
23:94 “My Lord, let me not be one of the transgressing people.”
23:95 To show you (the retribution) we have reserved for them is something we can easily do.
23:96 Therefore, counter their evil works with goodness; we are fully aware of their claims.
*23:84-89 Belief in God is valid only if one recognizes God’s qualities, such as the fact that God controls everything (8:17). Believers who do not know God are not really believers. Most believers nullify their belief by idolizing such powerless idols as the prophets and saints (6:106).
How do we know if we really know God or not?
The Majority of People Do Not Believe
12:103 Most people, no matter what you do, will not believe. 12:104 You are not asking them for any money; you simply deliver this reminder for all the people. 12:105 So many proofs in the heavens and the earth are given to them, but they pass by them, heedlessly!
The Majority of Believers Destined for Hell
12:106 The majority of those who believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol worship.
Most Believers Destined for Hell
29:61 If you ask them, “Who created the heavens and the earth, and put the sun and the moon in your service,” they will say, “GOD.” Why then did they deviate? 29:62 GOD is the One who increases the provision for whomever He chooses from among His creatures, and withholds it. GOD is fully aware of all things. 29:63 If you ask them, “Who sends down from the sky water, to revive dead land,” they will say, “GOD.” Say, “Praise GOD.” Most of them do not understand.
9:74 They swear by GOD that they never said it, although they have uttered the word of disbelief; they have disbelieved after becoming submitters. In fact, they gave up what they never had. They have rebelled even though GOD and His messenger have showered them with His grace and provisions. If they repent, it would be best for them. But if they turn away, GOD will commit them to painful retribution in this life and in the Hereafter. They will find no one on earth to be their lord and master.
13:40 Whether we show you what we promise them, or terminate your life before that, your sole mission is to deliver (the message). It is us who will call them to account.
46:35 Therefore, be patient like the messengers before you who possessed strength and resorted to patience. Do not be in a hurry to see the retribution that will inevitably come to them. The day they see it, it will seem as if they lasted one hour of the day. This is a proclamation: Is it not the wicked who are consistently annihilated?
73:10 And remain steadfast in the face of their utterances, and disregard them in a nice manner.
2:109 Many followers of the scripture would rather see you revert to disbelief, now that you have believed. This is due to jealousy on th eir part, after the truth has become evident to them. You shall pardon them, and leave them alone, un til GOD issues His judgment. GOD is Omnipotent.
20:44 “Speak to him (Pharaoh) nicely; he may take heed, or become reverent.”
