unbelievers.
- [5.54] O you who believe! whoever from among

shall bear witness against their own souls that they were unbelievers.

they shall bear witness against themselves that they were unbelievers

two parties that it shall be yours and you loved that the one not armed
should he yours and Allah desired to manifest the truth of what was true by
His words and to cut off the root of the unbelievers.
- [8.14] This-- taste it, and (know) that for the
unbelievers is the chastisement of fire.
- [8.18] This, and that Allah is the weakener of
the struggle of the unbelievers.
- [9.2] So go about in the land for four months
and know that you cannot weaken Allah and that Allah will bring disgrace to
the unbelievers.

upon His Apostle and upon the believers, and sent down hosts which you did
not see, and chastised those who disbelieved, and that is the reward of the
unbelievers.

Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His
light, though the unbelievers are averse.

Allow me and do not try me. Surely into trial have they already tumbled
down, and most surely hell encompasses the unbelievers.

children excite your admiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with

these in this world and (that) their souls may depart while they are
unbelievers
- [9.120] It did not beseem the people of Medina
and those round about them of the dwellers of the desert to remain behind
the Apostle of Allah, nor should they desire (anything) for themselves in
preference to him; this is because there afflicts them not thirst or fatigue
or hunger in Allah's way, nor do they tread a path which enrages the
unbelievers, nor do they attain from the enemy what they attain, but a
good work is written down to them on account of it; surely Allah does not
waste the reward of the doers of good;
- [9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the
unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and
know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).
- [9.125] And as for those in whose hearts is a
disease, it adds uncleanness to their uncleanness and they die while they
are unbelievers.
- [10.2] What! is it a wonder to the people that
We revealed to a man from among themselves, saying: Warn the people and give

enchanter.

like mountains; and Nuh called out to his son, and he was aloof: O my son!

those whom they pray to besides Allah give them no answer, but (they are)
like one who stretches forth his two hands towards water that it may reach
his mouth, but it will not reach it; and the prayer of the unbelievers
is only in error.
- [13.35] A likeness of the garden which the
righteous are promised; there now beneath it rivers, its food and shades are
perpetual; this is the requital of those who guarded (against evil), and the
requital of the unbelievers is the fire.
- [13.42] And those before them did indeed make
plans, but all planning is Allah's; He knows what every soul earns, and the
unbelievers shall come to know for whom is the (better) issue of the
abode.
- [14.2] (Of) Allah, Whose is whatever is in the
heavens and whatever Is in the earth; and woe to the unbelievers on
account of the severe chastisement,
- [16.27] Then on the resurrection day He will
bring them to disgrace and say: Where are the associates you gave Me, for
whose sake you became hostile? Those who are given the knowledge will say:
Surely the disgrace and the evil are this day upon the unbelievers:
- [17.8] It may be that your Lord will have mercy
on you, and if you again return (to disobedience) We too will return (to
punishment), and We have made hell a prison for the unbelievers.
- [18.100] And We will bring forth hell, exposed
to view, on that day before the unbelievers.
- [18.102] What! do then those who disbelieve
think that they can take My servants to be guardians besides Me? Surely We
have prepared hell for the entertainment of the unbelievers.
- [19.83] Do you not see that We have sent the
Shaitans against the unbelievers, inciting them by incitement?
- [22.44] As well as those of Madyan and Musa
(too) was rejected, but I gave respite to the unbelievers, then did I
overtake them, so how (severe) was My disapproval.
- [23.117] And whoever invokes with Allah another
god-- he has no proof of this-- his reckoning is only with his Lord; surely
the unbelievers shall not be successful.
- [25.26] The kingdom on that day shall rightly
belong to the Beneficent God, and a hard day shall it be for the
unbelievers.
- [25.52] So do not follow the unbelievers,
and strive against them a mighty striving with it.
- [28.48] But (now) when the truth has come to
them from Us, they say: Why is he not given the like of what was given to
Musa? What! did they not disbelieve in what Musa was given before? They say:
Two magicians backing up each other; and they say: Surely we are
unbelievers in all.
- [28.86] And you did not expect that the Book
would be inspired to you, but it is a mercy from your Lord, therefore be not
a backer-up of the unbelievers.
- [29.47] And thus have We revealed the Book to
you. So those whom We have given the Book believe in it, and of these there
are those who believe in it, and none deny Our communications except the
unbelievers.
- [29.54] They ask you to hasten on the
chastisement, and most surely hell encompasses the unbelievers;
- [29.68] And who is more unjust than one who
forges a lie against Allah, or gives the lie to the truth when it has come
to him? Will not in hell be the abode of the unbelievers?
- [30.45] That He may reward those who believe
and do good out of His grace; surely He does not love the unbelievers.
- [33.1] O Prophet! be careful of (your duty to)
Allah and do not comply with (the wishes of) the unbelievers and the
hypocrites; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise;
- [33.8] That He may question the truthful of
their truth, and He has prepared for the unbelievers a painful
punishment.
- [33.25] And Allah turned back the
unbelievers in their rage; they did not obtain any advantage, and Allah
sufficed the believers in fighting; and Allah is Strong, Mighty.
- [33.48] And be not compliant to the
unbelievers and the hypocrites, and leave unregarded their annoying
talk, and rely on Allah; and Allah is sufficient as a Protector.
- [33.64] Surely Allah has cursed the
unbelievers and has prepared for them a burning fire,
- [36.70] That it may warn him who would have
life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers.
- [38.74] But not Iblis: he was proud and he was
one of the unbelievers.
- [39.32] Who is then more unjust than he who
utters a lie against Allah and (he who) gives the lie to the truth when it
comes to him; is there not in hell an abode for the unbelievers?
- [39.59] Aye! My communications came to you, but
you rejected them, and you were proud and you were one of the unbelievers.
- [39.71] And those who disbelieve shall be
driven to hell in companies; until, when they come to it, its doors shall be
opened, and the keepers of it shall say to them: Did not there come to you
apostles from among you reciting to you the communications of your Lord and
warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They shall say: Yea! But
the sentence of punishment was due against the unbelievers.
- [40.14] Therefore call upon Allah, being
sincere to Him in obedience, though the unbelievers are averse:
- [40.25] So when he brought to them the truth
from Us, they said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him and keep
their women alive; and the struggle of the unbelievers will only come
to a state of perdition.
- [40.50] They shall say: Did not your apostles
come to you with clear arguments? They shall say: Yea. They shall say: Then
call. And the call of the unbelievers is only in error.
- [40.74] Besides Allah? They shall say: They are
gone away from us, nay, we used not to call upon anything before. Thus does
Allah confound the unbelievers.
- [40.85] But their belief was not going to
profit them when they had seen Our punishment; (this is) Allah's law, which
has indeed obtained in the matter of His servants, and there the
unbelievers are lost.
- [41.7] (To) those who do not give poor-rate and
they are unbelievers in the hereafter.
- [41.14] When their apostles came to them from
before them and from behind them, saying, Serve nothing but Allah, they
said: If our Lord had pleased He would certainly have sent down angels, so
we are surely unbelievers in that with which you are sent.
- [42.13] He has made plain to you of the
religion what He enjoined upon Nuh and that which We have revealed to you
and that which We enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and Isa that keep to
obedience and be not divided therein; hard to the unbelievers is that
which you call them to; Allah chooses for Himself whom He pleases, and
guides to Himself him who turns (to Him), frequently.
- [42.26] And He answers those who believe and do
good deeds, and gives them more out of His grace; and (as for) the
unbelievers, they shall have a severe punishment.
- [43.24] (The warner) said: What! even if I
bring to you a better guide than that on which you found your fathers? They
said: Surely we are unbelievers in that with which you are sent.
- [47.10] Have they not then journeyed in the
land and seen how was the end of those before them: Allah brought down
destruction upon them, and the unbelievers shall have the like of it.
- [47.11] That is because Allah is the Protector
of those who believe, and because the unbelievers shall have no
protector for them.
- [47.34] Surely those who disbelieve and turn
away from Allah's way, then they die while they are unbelievers,
Allah will by no means forgive them.
- [48.13] And whoever does not believe in Allah
and His Apostle, then surely We have prepared burning fire for the
unbelievers.
- [48.29] Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah, and
those with him are firm of heart against the unbelievers,
compassionate among themselves; you will see them bowing down, prostrating
themselves, seeking grace from Allah and pleasure; their marks are in their
faces because of the effect of prostration; that is their description in the
Taurat and their description in the Injeel; like as seed-produce that puts
forth its sprout, then strengthens it, so it becomes stout and stands firmly
on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the unbelievers
on account of them; Allah has promised those among them who believe and do
good, forgiveness and a great reward.
- [50.2] Nay! they wonder that there has come to
them a warner from among themselves, so the unbelievers say: This is
a wonderful thing:
- [54.8] Hastening to the inviter. The
unbelievers shall say: This is a hard day.
- [54.43] Are the unbelievers of yours
better than these, or is there an exemption for you in the scriptures?
- [58.4] But whoever has not the means, let him
fast for two months successively before they touch each other; then as for
him who is not able, let him feed sixty needy ones; that is in order that
you may have faith in Allah and His Apostle, and these are Allah's limits,
and the unbelievers shall have a painful punishment.
- [58.5] Surely those who act in opposition to
Allah and His Apostle shall be laid down prostrate as those before them were
laid down prostrate; and indeed We have revealed clear communications, and
the unbelievers shall have an abasing chastisement.
- [60.10] O you who believe! when believing women
come to you flying, then examine them; Allah knows best their faith; then if
you find them to be believing women, do not send them back to the
unbelievers, neither are these (women) lawful for them, nor are those
(men) lawful for them, and give them what they have spent; and no blame
attaches to you in marrying them when you give them their dowries; and hold
not to the ties of marriage of unbelieving women, and ask for what you have
spent, and kt them ask for what they have spent. That is Allah's judgment;
He judges between you, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
- [60.11] And if anything (out of the dowries) of
your wives has passed away from you to the unbelievers, then your
turn comes, give to those whose wives have gone away the like of what they
have spent, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah in Whom you believe.
- [60.13] O you who believe! do not make friends
with a people with whom Allah is wroth; indeed they despair of the hereafter
as the unbelievers despair of those in tombs.
- [61.8] They desire to put out the light of
Allah with their mouths but Allah will perfect His light, though the
unbelievers may be averse.
- [66.9] O Prophet! strive hard against the
unbelievers and the hypocrites, and be hard against them; and their
abode is hell; and evil is the resort.
- [67.20] Or who is it that will be a host for
you to assist you besides the Beneficent God? The unbelievers are
only in deception.
- [67.28] Say: Have you considered if Allah
should destroy me and those with me-- rather He will have mercy on us; yet
who will protect the unbelievers from a painful punishment?
- [69.50] And most surely it is a great grief to
the unbelievers.
- [70.2] The unbelievers-- there is none
to avert it--
- [71.26] And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon
the land any dweller from among the unbelievers:
- [74.10] For the unbelievers, anything
but easy.
- [74.31] And We have not made the wardens of the
fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial
for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be
certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been
given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose
hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean
by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides
whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and
this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
- [76.4] Surely We have prepared for the
unbelievers chains and shackles and a burning fire.
- [80.42] These are they who are unbelievers,
the wicked.
- [83.34] So today those who believe shall laugh
at the unbelievers;
- [86.17] So grant the unbelievers a
respite: let them alone for a while.
- [109.1] Say: O unbelievers!
