6:5 - And now they reject the truth when it reaches them: but soon shall they learn the reality of<br />

what they used to mock at.<br />

6:33 - We know indeed the grief which their words do cause thee: it is not thee they reject: it is the<br />

Signs of Allah which the wicked contemn.<br />

6:49 - But those who reject Our Signs them shall our punishment touch for that they ceased not<br />

from transgressing.<br />

7:40 - To those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance no opening will there be of the<br />

gates of heaven nor will they enter the garden until the camel can pass through the eye of the<br />

needle: such is Our reward for those in sin.<br />

7:51 - "Such as took their religion to be mere amusement and play and were deceived by the life of<br />

the world." That day shall We forget them as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs and<br />

as they were wont to reject Our signs. 1029<br />

1029 "Forgetfulness" may be involuntary, from a defect of memory, or figuratively, a deliberate turning away from, or<br />

ignoring of, something we do not want, as when we say in an argument, "you conveniently forget that so- and-so is<br />

so-and-so." Here the latter kind is meant. If men deliberately ignored the Hereafter in spite of warnings, can they<br />

expect to be received by Allah, Whom they themselves rejected? (7.51)<br />

7:101 - Such were the towns whose story We (thus) relate unto thee: there came indeed to them<br />

their apostles with clear (signs): but they would not believe what they had rejected before.<br />

Thus doth Allah seal up the heart of those who reject faith. 1070<br />

1070 Those who have heard the Message and rejected it find it more difficult afterwards to retrace their steps. Evil has<br />

blocked the channels of Allah's grace to them. It begins with their breaking their Covenant with Allah; with each step<br />

afterwards they fall deeper and deeper into the mire. (7.101)<br />

7:147 - Those who reject Our signs and the meeting in the hereafter vain are their deeds: can they<br />

expect to be rewarded except as they have wrought?<br />

7:182 - Those who reject Our signs We shall gradually visit with punishment in ways they perceive<br />

not.<br />

8:52 -"(Deeds) after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and of those before them: they rejected<br />

the signs of Allah and Allah punished them for their crimes: for Allah is strong and strict in<br />

punishment:<br />

8:55 - For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are those who reject Him: They will not believe.<br />

1223<br />

1223 In viii. 22 we were warned against "the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah", who do not make use of their faculties of<br />

hearing, speaking and understanding, in the service of Allah, and in fact misuse their faculties to blaspheme Allah.<br />

The same brute creatures are shone here in another light: they are faithless both to Allah and man. (8.55)<br />

9:2 - Go ye then for four months backwards and forwards (as ye will) throughout the land but know<br />

ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah (by your falsehood) but that Allah will cover with shame those<br />

who reject him. 1247<br />

1247 Four Months: Some Commentators understand by this the four forbidden months in which warfare by ancient Arabian<br />

custom was unlawful, viz., Rajab, Zul-qa'dah, Zul-hijjah, and Muharram: See ii. 194 n. But it is better to take the<br />

signification of the four months immediately following the Declaration. Assuming that the Sura was promulgated early<br />

in Shawwal (see Introduction), the four months would be Shawwal, Zul-qa'dah, Zul-hijjah, and Muharram, of which the<br />

last three would also be the customary Prohibited Months. (9.2)<br />

9:3 - And an announcement from Allah and His apostle to the people (assembled) on the day of the<br />

Great Pilgrimage that Allah and His apostle dissolve (treaty) obligations with the pagans. If<br />

then ye repent it were best for you; but if ye turn away know ye that ye cannot frustrate Allah.<br />

And proclaim a grievous penalty to those who reject faith. 1248<br />

1248 The great day of Hajj is either the 9th of Zul-hijjah ('Arafa), or the 10th (the Day of Sacrifice).<br />

(9.3)<br />

10:86 - "And deliver us by Thy Mercy from those who reject (Thee)."<br />

10:95 - Nor be of those who reject the Signs of Allah or thou shalt be of those who perish.<br />
