DENIERS THINK THEY ARE SMART
When they are told: "Believe
in the way that the people believe," they
say: "What! Are we to believe in the way
that fools believe?" No indeed! They are
the fools, but they do not know it. (Qur'an,
2:13)
New Testament
Although they claimed to be wise, they
became fools. (Romans 1:22)
DEBASEMENT OF THE UNBELIEVERS
No self can believe except
with God's permission. He places a blight
on those who do not use their intellect.
(Qur'an, 10:100)
New Testament
Therefore God gave them over, through the
sinful desires of their hearts, to sexual
impurity for the degrading of their bodies
with one another. (Romans 1:24)
NOT TO BEFRIEND THOSE WITH A BAD CHARACTER
You will not find people who
believe in God and the Last Day having love
for anyone who opposes God and His Messenger,
though they be their fathers, their sons,
their brothers, or their clan. God has inscribed
faith upon such people's hearts, will reinforce
them with a Spirit from Him, and admit them
into Gardens with rivers flowing under them,
remaining in them timelessly, forever. God
is pleased with them and they are pleased
with Him. Such people are the party of God.
Truly, it is the party of God that is successful.
(Qur'an, 58:22)
God merely forbids you from taking as friends
those who have fought you in the religion,
driven you from your homes, and supported
your expulsion. Any who take them as friends
are wrongdoers. (Qur'an, 60:9)
New Testament
But now I am writing you that you must
not associate with anyone who calls himself
a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy,
an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or
a swindler. With such a man do not even
eat. (1 Corinthians 5:11)
But among you there must not be even a
hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind
of impurity, or of greed, because these
are improper for God's holy people… Let
no one deceive you with empty words, for
because of such things God's wrath comes
on those who are disobedient. Therefore,
do not be partners with them. (Ephesians
5:3, 6-7)
ONE DAY IN GOD'S PRESENCE IS LIKE ONE THOUSAND
YEARS FOR US
They ask you to hasten the
punishment. God will not break His promise.
A day with your Lord is equivalent to a
thousand years in the way you count. (Qur'an,
22:47)
New Testament
... With the Lord, a day is like a thousand
years and a thousand years are like a day.
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise,
as some understand slowness. He is patient
with you, not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter
3:8-9)
