A pproaching the West—151 Unbelievers who cry lies to God’s Signs are referred to at numerous places in the Holy Qur’ ā n. … Signs and Warners avail not a people who will not believe. (10:102) Surely, those who deviate (from the right path) with respect to Our Signs are not hidden from Us. Is he, then, who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes out safe on the day of Resurrection? … (41:41) The Holy Qur’ ā n explains by telling us, And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against All ā h or gives the lie to His Signs? Surely, the unjust shall not prosper. (6:22) Evil is the case of the people who treat Our Signs as lies. And it was their own souls that they wronged. (7:178) And those who reject Our Signs; We will draw them to destruction step by step in a manner which they do not know. (7:183) Those who took their religion for a pastime and sport, and whom the life of the world beguiled, this day, then, shall We forget them as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs, and as they used to deny Our Signs. (7:52) Those who dispute concerning the Signs of All ā h without any authority having come to them; grievously hateful is this in the sight of All ā h and in the sight of those who believe.
