We have revealed to you clear signs, and none rejects them except the sinners.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 100
Is it not that whenever they make a covenant, some of them toss it aside? In fact, most of them do not believe.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 102
And they followed what the devils taught during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but it was the devils who disbelieved. They taught the people witchcraft and what was revealed in Babylon to the two angels Harut and Marut. They did not teach anybody until they had said, “We are a test, so do not lose faith.” But they learned from them the means to cause separation between man and his wife. But they cannot harm anyone except with God's permission. And they learned what would harm them and not benefit them. Yet they knew that whoever deals in it will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable is what they sold their souls for, if they only knew.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 103
Had they believed and been righteous, the reward from God would have been better, if they only knew.
