Types of people

God described three kinds of people in Quran: believers; non-believers and hypocrites. God has condemned hypocrites in the strongest words (as they are the ones who disbelieve after believing), God put them along with the disbelievers.

God has laid out in Quran that most of the people will be disbelievers, even the believers will commit idol worship and only a small minority will be sincere or true believers. Therefore, those who worship (serve) GOD ALONE are a rare and extremely fortunate group; they are a minority of the minority:

Most people, no matter what you do, will not believe. You are not asking them for any money; you simply deliver this reminder for all the people. So many proofs in the Heavens and the earth are given to them, but they pass by them, heedlessly! The majority of those who believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol worship. (Quran 12:103 through 106)

a): The Believers - The virtuous & Righteous Submitting Servants and Worshippers of God

Believers are a small minority of people (as per Quran)

Key Traits: Appreciative, monotheists, submitters/peacemakers (Muslims), believers (Mu'mins), obedient, repentant, worshipers (serving God), pious, God conscious, people who think and reflect, observing & reverencing God alone, following only God's commands, modest, they put their trust in God, steadfast, content, patient, perseverant & consistent, chaste, honest, commemorators of God, advocates of righteousness, heedful (they take heed), they are truth seekers.

They believe in the unseen, observe Salat (establish connection with God), and from God's provisions to them, they give to charity. And they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, and with regard to the Hereafter, they are absolutely certain. These are guided by their Lord; these are the winners (Quran 2:3 through 2:5)

References from Quranic verses about the winners:

(Quran 64:9)

The true believers are those whose hearts tremble when GOD is mentioned, and when His revelations are recited to them, their faith is strengthened, and they trust in their Lord.

Such is His truthful pledge in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran-and who fulfills His pledge better than GOD? You shall rejoice in making such an exchange. This is the greatest triumph. They are the repenters, the worshipers (serving God), the praisers, the meditators, the bowing and prostrating, the advocators of righteousness and forbidders of evil, and the keepers of GOD's laws. Give good news to such believers. (Quran: 9:111-112)

When he reaches maturity, and reaches the age of forty, he should say, "My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do the righteous works that please You. Let my children be righteous as well. I have repented to You; I am a submitter."

The believers never ally themselves with the disbelievers, instead of the believers. Whoever does this is exiled from GOD. Exempted are those who are forced to do this to avoid persecution. GOD alerts you that you shall reverence Him alone. To GOD is the ultimate destiny. (Quran 3:28)

If you suffer hardship, the enemy also suffers the same hardship. We alternate the days of victory and defeat among the people. GOD thus distinguishes the true believers, and blesses some of you with martyrdom. GOD dislikes injustice. GOD thus toughens those who believe and humiliates the disbelievers. (Quran 3:140-141)

The true believers are those who believe in GOD and His messenger and when they are with him in a community meeting, they do not leave him without permission. Those who ask permission are the ones who do believe in GOD and His messenger.

To You is the ultimate destiny." (Quran 2:285)

GOD has blessed the believers by raising in their midst a messenger from among them, to recite for them His revelations, and to purify them, and to teach them the scripture and wisdom. Before this, they had gone totally astray. (Quran 3:164)

They have good news of GOD's blessings and grace, and that GOD never fails to reward the believers. (Quran 3:171)

It is the devil's system to instill fear into his subjects. Do not fear them and fear Me instead, if you are believers. (Quran 3:175)

Successful indeed are the believers; (Quran 23:1)

Only those who repent, reform, hold fast to GOD, and devote their religion absolutely to GOD alone, will be counted with the believers. (Quran 4:146)

Do not be impressed by the apparent success of disbelievers. (Quran 3:196)

GOD does not like the utterance of bad language, unless one is treated with gross injustice. GOD is Hearer, Knower. If you work righteousness—either declared or concealed—or pardon a transgression, GOD is Pardoner, Omnipotent. (Quran 4:148 - 149)

Once you complete your Salat, you shall remember GOD while standing, sitting, or lying down. Once the war is over, you shall observe the Salat; the Salat is decreed for the believers at specific times. (Quran 4:103)

This scripture has been revealed to you-you shall not harbor doubt about it in your heart-that you may warn with it, and to provide a reminder for the believers. (Quran 7:2)

"Our Lord, we have heard a caller calling to faith and proclaiming: 'You shall believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, forgive us our transgressions, remit our sins, and let us die as righteous believers. (Quran 3:193)

GOD is not to leave the believers as you are, without distinguishing the bad from the good. Nor does GOD inform you of the future, but GOD bestows such knowledge upon whomever He chooses from among His messengers. Therefore, you shall believe in GOD and His messengers. If you believe and lead a righteous life, you receive a great recompense. (Quran 3:179)

O you who believe, you shall not ally yourselves with the disbelievers, instead of the believers. Do you wish to provide GOD with a clear proof against you? (Quran 4:144)

Only those who repent, believe, and lead a righteous life will enter Paradise, without the least injustice. (Quran 19:60)

Prohibited for you are animals that die of themselves, blood, the meat of pigs, and animals dedicated to other than GOD. (Animals that die of themselves include those) strangled, struck with an object, fallen from a height, gored, attacked by a wild animal-unless you save your animal before it dies-and animals sacrificed on altars. Also prohibited is dividing the meat through a game of chance; this is an abomination. Today, the disbelievers have given up concerning (the eradication of) your religion; do not fear them and fear Me instead. Today, I have completed your religion, perfected My blessing upon you, and I have decreed Submission as the religion for you. If one is forced by famine (to eat prohibited food), without being deliberately sinful, then GOD is Forgiver, Merciful. (Quran 5:3)

Today, all good food is made lawful for you. The food of the people of the scripture is lawful for you. Also, you may marry the chaste women among the believers, as well as the chaste women among the followers of previous scripture, provided you pay them their due dowries. You shall maintain chastity, not committing adultery, nor taking secret lovers. Anyone who rejects faith, all his work will be in vain, and in the Hereafter he will be with the losers. (Quran 5:5)

(Quran) A beacon, and good news, for the believers. (Quran 27:2)

And most assuredly, it is a guide and mercy for the believers. (Quran 27:77)

O you who believe, if you revert from your religion, then GOD will substitute in your place people whom He loves and who love Him. They will be kind with the believers, stern with the disbelievers, and will strive in the cause of GOD without fear of any blame. Such is GOD's blessing; He bestows it upon whomever He wills. GOD is Bounteous, Omniscient. Your real allies are GOD and His messenger, and the believers who establish Sala), and bring forth Zakat, and they bow down. Those who ally themselves with GOD and His messenger, and those who believed, belong in the party of GOD; absolutely, they are the victors.

O you who believe, do not befriend those among the recipients of previous scripture who mock and ridicule your religion, nor shall you befriend the disbelievers. You shall reverence GOD, if you are really believers. (Quran 5:54-57)

The only people to frequent GOD's masjids are those who believe in GOD and the Last Day, and establish Salat, and bring forth Zakat, and do not fear except GOD. These will surely be among the guided ones. (Quran 9:18)

O you who believe, you shall fight the disbelievers who attack you-let them find you stern-and know that GOD is with the righteous. (Quran 9:123)

You shall steadfastly persevere, for GOD never fails to recompense the righteous. (Quran 11:15)

This Quran guides to the best path, and brings good news to the believers who lead a righteous life, that they have deserved a great recompense. (Quran 17:9)

We narrate to you enough history of the messengers to strengthen your heart. The truth has come to you herein, as well as enlightenments and reminders for the believers (Quran 11:120)

"My Lord, forgive me and my parents, and the believers, on the day when the reckoning takes place." (Quran 14:41)

We send down in the Quran healing and mercy for the believers. At the same time, it only increases the wickedness of the transgressors. (Quran 17:82)

As for those who come to Him as believers who had led a righteous life, they attain the high ranks. (Quran 20:75)

A perfect (scripture) to warn of severe retribution from Him, and to deliver good news to the believers who lead a righteous life, that they have earned a generous recompense. (Quran 18:2)

Those who are blessed with knowledge will recognize the truth from your Lord, then believe in it, and their hearts will readily accept it. Most assuredly, GOD guides the believers in the right path. (Quran 22:54)

GOD showers you with His grace and mercy. GOD is Most Kind towards the believers, Most Merciful. (Quran 24:20)

And tell the believing women to subdue their eyes, and maintain their chastity. They shall not reveal any parts of their bodies, except that which is necessary. They shall cover their chests, and shall not relax this code in the presence of other than their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands, their sons, the sons of their husbands, their brothers, the sons of their brothers, the sons of their sisters, other women, the male servants or employees whose sexual drive has been nullified, or the children who have not reached puberty. They shall not strike their feet when they walk in order to shake and reveal certain details of their bodies. All of you shall repent to GOD, O you believers, that you may succeed. (Quran 24:31)

The only utterance of the believers, whenever invited to GOD and His messenger to judge in their affairs, is to say, "We hear and we obey." These are the winners. Those who obey GOD and His messenger, and reverence GOD and observe Him, these are the triumphant ones. (Quran 24:51-52)

Therefore, do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with this, a great striving. (Quran 25:52)

GOD created the Heavens and the earth, truthfully. This provides a sufficient proof for the believers. (Quran 29:44)

O you prophet, you shall reverence GOD and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise. (Quran 33:1)

For He will generously recompense those who believe and lead a righteous life from His bounties. He does not love the disbelievers. (Quran 30:45)

The prophet is closer to the believers than they are to each other, and his wives are like mothers to them. The relatives ought to take care of one another in accordance with GOD's scripture. Thus, the believers shall take care of their relatives who immigrate to them, provided they have taken care of their own families first. These are commandments of this scripture. (Quran 33:6)

Responding to Him are those who believe and lead a righteous life. He will shower them with His blessings. As for the disbelievers, they have incurred a severe retribution. (Quran 42:26)

They avoid gross sins and vice, and when angered they forgive. They respond to their Lord by establishing Salat. Their affairs are decided after due consultation among themselves, and from our provisions to them they give (to charity). When gross injustice befalls them, they stand up for their rights. Although the just requital for an injustice is an equivalent retribution, those who pardon and maintain righteousness are rewarded by GOD. He does not love the unjust. Certainly, those who stand up for their rights, when injustice befalls them, are not committing any error. (Quran 42:37 through 42:41)

The Heavens and the earth are full of proofs for the believers. (Quran 45:3)

Muhammad-the messenger of GOD-and those with him are harsh and stern against the disbelievers, but kind and compassionate amongst themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating, as they seek GOD's blessings and approval. Their marks are on their faces, because of prostrating. This is the same example as in the Torah. Their example in the Gospel is like plants that grow taller and stronger, and please the farmers. He thus enrages the disbelievers. GOD promises those among them who believe and lead a righteous life forgiveness and a great recompense. (Quran 48:29)

If two groups of believers fought with each other, you shall reconcile them. If one group aggresses against the other, you shall fight the aggressing group until they submit to GOD's command. Once they submit, you shall reconcile the two groups equitably. You shall maintain justice; GOD loves those who are just. (Quran 49:9)

The Arabs said, "We are Mu'mens (believers)." Say, "You have not believed; what you should say is, 'We are Muslims (submitters),' until belief is established in your hearts." If you obey GOD and His messenger, He will not put any of your works to waste. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful. Mu'mens (believers) are those who believe in GOD and His messenger, then attain the status of having no doubt whatsoever, and strive with their money and their lives in the cause of GOD. These are the truthful ones. (Quran 49:14 - 15)

Additionally, you get something you truly love: support from GOD and guaranteed victory. Give good news to the believers. (Quran 61:13)

b): The non-believers and hypocrites - Disbeliever & Rejectors of God and His Signs, Servants and Worshippers of Devil

Vast majority of people (as per Quran) are either non-believers or hypocrites

Key Traits common to both non-believers and hypocrites: Unappreciative; polytheists, idol worshippers, associators; heedless, deniers of God's existence and truth, rejectors of God's revelations, His signs and commands; fabricators of lies about God, falsifiers, concealers of truth, doubters, repellers from the path of God; unjust, adorers of worldly life, transgressors, arrogant, ignorant, oblivious, advocates of evil, immoral, wicked and weak, sinful, stubborn with hardened hearts, accusers (rumormongers), superstitions (believers of magic and such)

References from Quranic verses for hypocrites (losers):

Then there are those who say, "We believe in GOD and the Last Day," while they are not believers. In trying to deceive GOD and those who believe, they only deceive themselves without perceiving. In their minds there is a disease. Consequently, GOD augments their disease. They have incurred a painful retribution for their lying. When they are told, "Do not commit evil," they say, "But we are righteous!". In fact, they are evildoers, but they do not perceive. When they are told, "Believe like the people who believed," they say, "Shall we believe like the fools who believed?" In fact, it is they who are fools, but they do not know. When they meet the believers, they say, "We believe," but when alone with their devils, they say, "We are with you; we were only mocking." GOD mocks them, and leads them on in their transgressions, blundering. It is they who bought the straying, at the expense of guidance. Such trade never prospers, nor do they receive any guidance. Their example is like those who start a fire, then, as it begins to shed light around them, GOD takes away their light, leaving them in darkness, unable to see. Deaf, dumb, and blind; they fail to return. Another example: a rainstorm from the sky in which there is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears, to evade death. GOD is fully aware of the disbelievers (Quran 2:8 through 2:19)

And when they meet the believers, they say, "We believe," but when they get together with each other, they say, "Do not inform (the believers) of the information given to you by GOD, lest you provide them with support for their argument concerning your Lord. Do you not understand?" (Quran 2:76)

[3:167] And to expose the hypocrites who were told, "Come fight in the cause of GOD, or contribute." They said, "If we knew how to fight, we would have joined you." They were closer to disbelief then than they were to belief. They uttered with their mouths what was not in their hearts. GOD knows what they conceal. (Quran 3:167)

When the hypocrites come to you (O Muhammad) they say, "We bear witness that you are the messenger of GOD." GOD knows that you are His messenger, and GOD bears witness that the hypocrites are liars. Under the guise of their apparent faith, they repel the people from the path of GOD. Miserable indeed is what they do. This is because they believed, then disbelieved. Hence, their minds are blocked; they do not understand. Quran (63:1 through 63:3)

The hypocrites think that they are deceiving GOD, but He is the One who leads them on. When they get up for the Salat, they get up lazily. That is because they only show off in front of the people, and rarely do they think of GOD. (Quran 4:142)

You secretly believed that the messenger and the believers will be defeated and never come back to their families, and this was firmly established in your hearts. You harbored evil thoughts and turned into wicked people. (Quran 48:12)

Additional references to Quranic verses for non-believers (losers)

As for those who disbelieve, it is the same for them; whether you warn them, or not warn them, they cannot believe. GOD seals their minds and their hearing, and their eyes are veiled. They have incurred severe retribution (Quran 2:6 through 2:7)

When they are told, "Follow what GOD has revealed herein," they say, "We follow only what we found our parents doing." What if their parents did not understand, and were not guided? The example of such disbelievers is that of parrots who repeat what they hear of sounds and calls, without understanding. Deaf, dumb, and blind; they cannot understand. Quran (2:170 through 2:171)

(The messenger) would say, "What if I brought to you better guidance than what you inherited from your parents?" They would say, "We are disbelievers in the message you brought." (Quran 43:24)

GOD condemns usury, and blesses charities. GOD dislikes every disbeliever, guilty. (Quran 2:276)

Who violate GOD's covenant after pledging to uphold it, sever what GOD has commanded to be joined, and commit evil. These are the losers. (Quran 2:27)

They repel from the way of GOD and seek to make it crooked, and they are disbelievers in the Hereafter. (Quran: 11:19)

Messengers before you have been ridiculed; I permitted the disbelievers to carry on, then I punished them. How terrible was My retribution! (Quran 13:32)

Their messengers went to them, as well as before them and after them, saying, "You shall not worship (serve) except GOD." They said, "Had our Lord willed, He could have sent angels. We are disbelievers in what you say." (Quran 41:14)

You shall worship (serve) GOD alone—do not associate anything with Him. You shall regard the parents, the relatives, the orphans, the poor, the related neighbor, the unrelated neighbor, the close associate, the traveling alien, and your servants. GOD does not like the arrogant show-offs. The ones who are stingy, exhort the people to be stingy, and conceal what GOD has bestowed upon them from His bounties. We have prepared for the disbelievers a shameful retribution. They give money to charity only to show off, while disbelieving in GOD and the Last Day. If one's companion is the devil, that is the worst companion. Why do they not believe in GOD and the Last Day, and give from GOD's provisions to them? GOD is fully aware of them. (Quran 4:36 through 4:39)

Anyone who idolizes beside GOD any other God, and without any kind of proof, his reckoning rests with his Lord. The disbelievers never succeed. (Quran 23:117)

Have you noted those who exalt themselves? Instead, GOD is the One who exalts whomever He wills, without the least injustice. Note how they fabricate lies about GOD; what a gross offense this is! Have you noted those who received a portion of the scripture, and how they believe in idolatry and false doctrine, then say, "The disbelievers are better guided than the believers"?! It is they who incurred GOD's condemnation, and whomever GOD condemns, you will not find any helper for him. Do they own a share of the sovereignty? If they did, they would not give the people as much as a grain. Quran (4:49 through 4:53)

Are they plotting and scheming? The disbelievers' schemes backfire against them. (Quran 52:42)

Have you noted those who claim that they believe in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed before you, then uphold the unjust laws of their idols? They were commanded to reject such laws. Indeed, it is the devil's wish to lead them far astray. When they are told, "Come to what GOD has revealed, and to the messenger," you see the hypocrites shunning you completely. How will it be when a disaster hits them, as a consequence of their own works? They will come to you then and swear by GOD: "Our intentions were good and righteous!"

GOD is fully aware of their innermost intentions. You shall ignore them, enlighten them, and give them good advice that may save their souls. Quran (4:60 through 4:63)

GOD promises the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, as well as the disbelievers, the fire of Hell, wherein they abide forever. It suffices them. GOD has condemned them; they have incurred an everlasting retribution. (Quran 9:68)

Say, "Work righteousness; GOD will see your work, and so will His messenger and the believers. Ultimately, you will be returned to the Knower of all secrets and declarations, then He will inform you of everything you had done." (Quran 9:105)

There are those who abuse the masjid by practicing idol worship, dividing the believers, and providing comfort to those who oppose GOD and His messenger. They solemnly swear: "Our intentions are honorable!" GOD bears witness that they are liars. (Quran 9:107)

O you who believe, you shall give to charity from the provisions we have given to you, before a day comes where there is no trade, no nepotism, and no intercession. The disbelievers are the unjust. (Quran 2:254)

Proclaim: "You shall obey GOD and the messenger." If they turn away, GOD does not love the disbelievers. (Quran 3:32)

Some would say, "Our minds are made up!" Instead, it is a curse from GOD, as a consequence of their disbelief, that keeps them from believing, except for a few of them. When this scripture came to them from GOD, and even though it agrees with, and confirms what they have, and even though they used to prophesy its advent when they talked with the disbelievers, when their own prophecy came to pass, they disbelieved therein. GOD's condemnation thus afflicts the disbelievers. Miserable indeed is what they sold their souls for—rejecting these revelations of GOD out of sheer resentment that GOD should bestow His grace upon whomever He chooses from among His servants. Consequently, they incurred wrath upon wrath. The disbelievers have incurred a humiliating retribution. When they are told, "You shall believe in these revelations of GOD," they say, "We believe only in what was sent down to us." Thus, they disbelieve in subsequent revelations, even if it is the truth from their Lord, and even though it confirms what they have! Say, "Why then did you kill GOD's prophets, if you were believers?" (Quran 2:88 through 2:91)

Do those who disbelieve think that they can get away with setting up My servants as Gods beside Me? We have prepared for the disbelievers Hell as an eternal abode. (Quran 18:102)

Then there is the one who says to his parents, "Woe to you; are you telling me that (after death) I will come back to life? How come those who died before us never come back?" The parents would cry for GOD's help and say, "Woe to you; please believe! GOD's promise is the truth." He would say, "Tales from the past!"

Such are the ones stamped as disbelievers among every generation of jinns and humans; they are losers. They all attain the ranks they have deserved, in accordance with their works. He will pay them for their works, without the least injustice.

The day will come when those who disbelieved will be introduced to the Hellfire: "You have wasted the good chances given to you during your worldly life, and you rejoiced in them. Consequently, today you incur a shameful retribution as a requital for the arrogance you committed on earth without any basis, and for your evil works." (Quran 46:17 through 46:20)

This is because GOD is the Lord of those who believe, while the disbelievers have no lord. (Quran 47:11)

[4:150] Those who disbelieve in GOD and His messengers, and seek to make distinction among GOD and His messengers, and say, "We believe in some and reject some," and wish to follow a path in between; these are the real disbelievers. We have prepared for the disbelievers a shameful retribution. (Quran: 4:150 - 151)

And for practicing usury, which was forbidden, and for consuming the people's money illicitly. We have prepared for the disbelievers among them painful retribution. (Quran 4:161)

Those who disbelieve spend their money to repel others from the way of GOD. They will spend it, then it will turn into sorrow and remorse for them. Ultimately, they will be defeated, and all disbelievers will be summoned to Hell. (Quran 8:36)

He thus annihilates some disbelievers, or neutralizes them; they always end up the losers. (Quran 3:127)

Those who criticize the generous believers for giving too much, and ridicule the poor believers for giving too little, GOD despises them. They have incurred a painful retribution. (Quran: 979)

Imploring Him is the only legitimate supplication, while the idols they implore beside Him, cannot ever respond. Thus, they are like those who stretch their hands to the water, but nothing reaches their mouths. The supplications of the disbelievers are in vain. (Quran: 13:14)

Even if a Quran caused mountains to move, or the earth to tear asunder, or the dead to speak (they will not believe). GOD controls all things. Is it not time for the believers to give up and realize that if GOD willed, He could have guided all the people? The disbelievers will continue to suffer disasters, as a consequence of their own works, or have disasters strike close to them, until GOD's promise is fulfilled. GOD will never change the predetermined destiny. (Quran13:31)

Say, "Anyone who opposes Gabriel should know that he has brought down this (Quran) into your heart, in accordance with GOD's will, confirming previous scriptures, and providing guidance and good news for the believers."

Those who disbelieve and repel from the path of GOD, then die as disbelievers, GOD will never forgive them. (Quran 47:34)

Those who love to see immorality spread among the believers have incurred a painful retribution in this life and in the Hereafter. GOD knows, while you do not know.

We have revealed to you this scripture, and those whom we blessed with the previous scripture will believe in it. Also, some of your people will believe in it. Indeed, those who disregard our revelations are the real disbelievers. (Quran 29:47)

All those disbelievers (earlier generations that were annihilated) were doomed as a consequence of their sins. Some of them we annihilated by violent winds, some were annihilated by the quake, some we caused the earth to swallow, and some we drowned. GOD is not the One who wronged them; it is they who wronged their own souls. (Quran 29:40)

And when we bless him after suffering some adversity, he says, "This belongs to me. I do not believe that the Hour will ever come to pass. Even if I am returned to my Lord, I will find at Him better things." Most certainly, we will inform the disbelievers of all their works, and will commit them to severe retribution. (Quran 41:50)

He is the One who made you inheritors of the earth. Subsequently, whoever chooses to disbelieve does so to his own detriment. The disbelief of the disbelievers only augments their Lord's abhorrence towards them. The disbelief of the disbelievers plunges them deeper into loss. (Quran 35:39)

They challenge you to bring retribution! Hell already surrounds the disbelievers. (Quran 29:54)

We will certainly afflict these disbelievers with a severe retribution. We will certainly requite them for their evil works. (Quran 41:27)

Anyone who refuses to believe in GOD and His messenger, we have prepared for the disbelievers a Hellfire. (Quran 48:13)

When this scripture came to them from GOD, and even though it agrees with, and confirms what they have, and even though they used to prophesy its advent when they talked with the disbelievers, when their own prophecy came to pass, they disbelieved therein. GOD's condemnation thus afflicts the disbelievers. (Quran 2:89)

Who is more evil than one who fabricates lies and attributes them to GOD, or rejects the truth when it comes to him? Is Hell not a just retribution for the disbelievers? (Quran 29:68)

They pursued what the devils taught concerning Solomon's kingdom. Solomon, however, was not a disbeliever, but the devils were disbelievers. They taught the people sorcery, and that which was sent down through the two angels of Babel, Haroot and Maroot. These two did not divulge such knowledge without pointing out: "This is a test. You shall not abuse such knowledge." But the people used it in such evil schemes as the breaking up of marriages. They can never harm anyone against the will of GOD. They thus learn what hurts them, not what benefits them, and they know full well that whoever practices witchcraft will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable indeed is what they sell their souls for, if they only knew. (Quran 2:102)

As for him who opposes the messenger, after the guidance has been pointed out to him, and follows other than the believers' way, we will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell; what a miserable destiny! (Quran 4:115)

Not acceptable is the repentance of those who commit sins until death comes to them, then say, "Now I repent." Nor is it acceptable from those who die as disbelievers. For these, we have prepared a painful retribution. (Quran 4:18)

You will find that the worst enemies of the believers are the Jews and the idol worshipers. And you will find that the closest people in friendship to the believers are those who say, "We are Christian." This is because they have priests and monks among them, and they are not arrogant. (Quran 5:82)

GOD did not prohibit livestock that begets certain combinations of males and females, nor livestock liberated by an oath, nor the one that begets two males in a row, nor the bull that fathers ten.

Who is more evil than those who invent lies about GOD, or reject His revelations? These will get their share, in accordance with the scripture, then, when our messengers come to terminate their lives, they will say, "Where are the idols you used to implore beside GOD?"

They wonder, "After we vanish into the earth, do we get created anew?" Thus, as regards meeting their Lord, they are disbelievers. (Quran 32:10)

Some of them listen to you, but we place veils on their hearts to prevent them from understanding, and deafness in their ears. Thus, no matter what kind of proof they see, they cannot believe. Thus, when they come to argue with you, the disbelievers say, "These are tales from the past." They repel others from this (Quran), as they themselves stay away from it, and thus, they only destroy themselves without perceiving.

If only you could see them when they face the Hellfire! They would say then, "Woe to us. Oh, we wish if we could go back, and never reject our Lord's revelations, and join the believers."

"Who repel from the path of GOD, and strive to make it crooked, and, with regard to the Hereafter, they are disbelievers." (Quran 7:45)

As for those who harbored doubts in their hearts, it actually added unholiness to their unholiness, and they died as disbelievers. Do they not see that they suffer from exacting trials every year once or twice? Yet, they consistently fail to repent, and fail to take heed? (Quran 9:125 - 126)

They (disbelievers) said, "Did you come to divert us from what we found our parents doing, and to attain positions of prominence for yourselves? We will never join you as believers." (Quran 10:78)

Who are more evil than those who fabricate lies about GOD? They will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied about their Lord. GOD's condemnation has befallen the transgressors. They repel from the way of GOD and seek to make it crooked, and they are disbelievers in the Hereafter. (Quran 11:18 - 11:19)

If only some of those among the previous generations possessed enough intelligence to forbid evil! Only a few of them deserved to be saved by us. As for the transgressors, they were preoccupied with their material luxuries; they were guilty. Your Lord never annihilates any community unjustly, while its people are righteous. Had your Lord willed, all the people would have been one congregation (of believers). But they will always dispute (the truth). Only those blessed with mercy from your Lord (will not dispute the truth). This is why He created them. The judgment of your Lord has already been issued: "I will fill Hell with jinns and humans, all together. (Quran 11:116 through 11:119)

Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them and ask, "Where are My partners that you had set up beside Me, and had opposed Me for their sake?" Those blessed with knowledge will say, "Today, the shame and misery have befallen the disbelievers." (Quran 16:27)

We never annihilated a believing community in the past. Are these people believers? (Quran 21:6)

Is there any equal to the One who controls every single soul? Yet, they set up idols to rival GOD. Say, "Name them. Are you informing Him of something on earth that He does not know? Or, are you fabricating empty statements?" Indeed, the schemes of those who disbelieve have been adorned in their eyes. They are thus diverted from the right path. Whomever GOD sends astray can never find a guiding teacher. They have incurred retribution in this life, and the retribution in the Hereafter is far worse. Nothing can protect them against GOD. (Quran 13:33-34)

They fully recognize GOD's blessings, then deny them; the majority of them are disbelievers. (Quran 16:83)

Others before them have schemed, but to GOD belongs the ultimate scheming. He knows what everyone is doing. The disbelievers will find out who the ultimate winners are. (Quran 13:42)

Such is their just retribution, since they rejected our revelations. They said, "After we turn into bones and fragments, do we get resurrected into a new creation?" Could they not see that the GOD who created the Heavens and the earth, is able to create the same creations? He has predetermined for them an irrevocable life span? Yet, the disbelievers insist upon disbelieving. Proclaim, "If you possessed my Lord's treasures of mercy, you would have withheld them, fearing that you might exhaust them. The human being is stingy." (Quran 17:98 - 100)

[26:5] Whenever a reminder from the Most Gracious comes to them, that is new, they turn away in aversion. Since they disbelieved, they have incurred the consequences of their heedlessness. Have they not seen the earth, and how many kinds of beautiful plants we have grown thereon? This should be a sufficient proof for them, but most of them are not believers. (Quran 26:5 - 26:8)

Why do they not reflect on themselves? GOD did not create the Heavens and the earth, and everything between them, except for a specific purpose, and for a specific life span. However, most people, with regard to meeting their Lord, are disbelievers. (Quran 30:8)

They will say, "Did you not receive your messengers who delivered to you clear messages?" They will reply, "Yes we did." They will say, "Then implore (as much as you wish); the imploring of the disbelievers is always in vain." (Quran 40:50)

Most assuredly, the disbelievers are requited for what they did. (Quran 83:36)

He cites for you herein an example from among yourselves: Do you ever elevate your servants or subordinates to the level where they rival you, and to the point that you pay them as much allegiance as is being paid to you? We thus explain the revelations for people who understand. Indeed, the transgressors have followed their own opinions, without knowledge. Who then can guide those who have been sent astray by GOD? No one can ever help them. (Quran 30:28)

Those who disbelieve have said, "We will not believe in this Quran, nor in the previous scriptures." If you could only envision these transgressors when they stand before their Lord! They will argue with one another back and forth. The followers will tell their leaders, "If it were not for you, we would have been believers." (Quran 34:31)

Satan found them readily fulfilling his expectations. They followed him, except a few believers. (Quran 34:20)

Who is more evil than one who attributes lies to GOD, while disbelieving in the truth that has come to him? Is Hell not a just requital for the disbelievers? (Quran 39:32)

Absolutely, the religion shall be devoted to GOD alone. Those who set up idols beside Him say, "We idolize them only to bring us closer to GOD; for they are in a better position!" GOD will judge them regarding their disputes. GOD does not guide such liars, disbelievers. (Quran (39:3)

Thus, we have cited for the people in this Quran all kinds of examples. Yet, no matter what kind of proof you present to the disbelievers, they say, "You are falsifiers." (Quran 30:58)

Those who disbelieved will be led to Hell in throngs. When they get to it, and its gates are opened, its guards will say, "Did you not receive messengers from among you, who recited to you the revelations of your Lord, and warned you about meeting this day?" They will answer, "Yes indeed. But the word 'retribution' was already stamped upon the disbelievers." (Quran 39:71)

They (disbelievers) will be asked, "Where are the idols you used to worship (serve), "beside GOD?" They will say, "They have abandoned us. In fact, when we worshiped (served) them, we were worshiping (serving) nothing." Thus does GOD send the disbelievers astray. (Quran 40:73 - 74)

If the disbelievers ever fought you, they would turn around and flee. They have no Lord and Master; they have no helper. (Quran 48:22)

Do they say, "He (Muhammad) made it (Quran) all up?" Instead, they are simply disbelievers. (Quran 52:33)

They found it strange that a warner from among them came to them! The disbelievers said, "This is really strange. (Quran 50:2)

Whomever GOD sends astray will never find any other lord, and you will see such transgressors, when they see the retribution, saying, "Can we get another chance?" You will see them facing it, humiliated and debased, and looking, yet trying to avoid looking. Those who believed will proclaim: "The real losers are those who lost their souls and their families on the Day of Resurrection. The transgressors have deserved an everlasting retribution." There will be no allies to help them against GOD. Whomever GOD sends astray can never be guided.

You shall respond to your Lord before a day comes which is decreed inevitable by GOD. There will be no refuge for you on that day, nor an advocate. If they turn away, we did not send you as their guardian. Your sole mission is delivering the message. When we shower the human beings with mercy, they become proud, and when adversity afflicts them, as a consequence of their own deeds, the human beings turn into disbelievers. (Quran 42:44 through 42:48)

Those who disbelieve are plagued with denial. GOD is fully aware of them. (Quran 85:19 - 20)

Know that this worldly life is no more than play and games, and boasting among you, and hoarding of money and children. It is like abundant rain that produces plants and pleases the disbelievers. But then the plants turn into useless hay, and are blown away by the wind. In the Hereafter there is either severe retribution, or forgiveness from GOD and approval. This worldly life is no more than a temporary illusion. (Quran 57:20)

They wish to put out GOD's light with their mouths. But GOD insists upon perfecting His light, in spite of the disbelievers. (Quran 61:8)

Say, "O you disbelievers. "I do not worship (serve) what you worship (serve). "Nor do you worship (serve) what I worship (serve). "Nor will I ever worship (serve) what you worship (serve). "Nor will you ever worship (serve) what I worship (serve). "To you is your religion, and to me is my religion." (Quran 109:1 through 109:6)

Those who disbelieved claim that they will not be resurrected! Yes indeed, by my Lord, you will be resurrected, and you will be held accountable for everything you have done. This is easy for GOD to do. (Quran 64:7)

As for those who disbelieve and reject our revelations, they are the dwellers of the Hellfire; they abide therein forever. What a miserable destiny! (Quran 64:10)

He said, "You worship (serve) beside GOD powerless idols due to peer pressure, just to preserve some friendship among you in this worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is Hell, wherein you cannot help one another." (Quran 29:25)
