2:41 - And believe in what I reveal confirming the revelation which is with you and be not the first to<br />

reject faith therein nor sell My Signs for a small price: and fear Me and Me alone. 59<br />

59 You receive revelations before: now comes one confirming it: its first appeal should be to you: are you to be the first to<br />

reject it? And reject it for what? God's Signs are worth more than all your paltry considerations. And the standard of<br />

duty and righteousness is to be taken from God, and not from priests and customs. (2.41)<br />

2:98 - Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and apostles to Gabriel and Michael Lo! Allah<br />

is an enemy to those who reject faith.<br />

2:99 - We have sent down to thee manifest signs (ayat); and none reject them but those who are<br />

perverse.<br />

2:171 - The parable of those who reject faith is as if one were to shout like a goat-herd to things<br />

that listen to nothing but calls and cries; deaf dumb and blind they are void of wisdom. 170171<br />

170 If you reject all faith, the highest wisdom and the most salutary regulations are lost on you. You are like "dumb driven<br />

cattle" who can merely hear calls, but cannot distinguish intelligently between shades of meaning or subtle differences<br />

of values. (2.171)<br />

171 Cf ii. 18, where we are told that the rejectors of faith are "deaf, dumb and blind: they will not return to the path." Here<br />

the consequence of their not using their senses is that they have no wisdom. In each context there is just the<br />

appropriate deduction. (2.171)<br />

2:212 - The life of this world is alluring to those who reject faith and they scoff at those who<br />

believe. But the righteous will be above them on the Day of Resurrection; for Allah bestows<br />

His abundance without measures on whom He will. 234<br />

2:250 - When they advanced to meet Goliath and his forces they prayed: "Our Lord! pour out<br />

constancy on us and make our steps firm; help us against those that reject faith."<br />

2:254 - O ye who believe! spend out of (the bounties) We have provided for you before the day<br />

comes when no bargaining (will avail) nor friendship nor intercession. Those who reject faith<br />

they are the wrong-doers. 294295<br />

294 Spend, i.e, give away in chartiy, or employ in good works, but do not hoard. Good works would in Islam include<br />

everything that advances the good of one that is in need whether a neighbor or a stranger or that advances the good<br />

of the community or even the good of the person himself to whom God has given the bounty. But it must be real good<br />

and there should be no admixture of baser motives, such as vainglory, or false indulgence, or encouragement of<br />

idleness, or playing off one person against another. The bounties include mental and spiritual gifts as well as wealth<br />

and material gifts. (2.254)<br />

295 Cf. ii. 123 and ii. 48. (2.254)<br />

3:4 - Then those who reject Faith in the Signs of Allah will suffer the severest penalty and Allah is<br />

Exalted in Might Lord of Retribution.<br />

3:10 - Those who reject faith neither their possessions nor their (numerous) progeny will avail them<br />

aught against Allah: they are themselves but fuel for the fire.<br />

3:12 - Say to those who reject Faith: "Soon will ye be vanquished and gathered together to hell an<br />

evil bed indeed (to lie on)!. 351<br />

351 As Moses warned the Egyptians, so the warning is here sounded to the Pagan Arabs, the Jews and the Christians,<br />

and all who resisted Faith, that their resistance would be in vain. Already the battle of Badr (referred to in the next<br />

verse) had been a warning how Faith must conquer with the help of Allah. The next few decades saw the Byzantine<br />

and the Persian Empires overthrown because of their arrogance and their resistance to the Law of Allah. (3.12)<br />

3:32 – Say: "Obey Allah and His Apostle"; but if they turn back Allah loveth not those who reject<br />

Faith.<br />

3:131 - Fear the fire which is prepared for those who reject faith.<br />

3:184 - Then if they reject thee so were rejected Apostles before thee who came with clear Signs<br />

Books of dark prophecies and the Book of enlightenment. 490<br />
