Response to a stubborn disbeliever
Praise be to Allaah.
We do not wish to respond to slander in kind, but we will answer you, you disbeliever, with quotes from the Word of God (the Qur’aan), if you even believe in the existence of God.
O disbeliever, we debate with you in the words addressed by Allaah (the Arabic name of the One True God) to the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) and the disbelievers. He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allaah aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Eesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary) was (no more than) a Messenger of Allaah and His Word (‘Be!’ – and he was), which He bestowed on Maryam, and a spirit created by Him; so believe in Allaah and His Messengers. Say not: ‘Three (trinity)!’ Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allaah is (the only) One (God). Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allaah is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of Affairs.”
[al-Nisa’ 4:171]
“Say: O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do you criticize us for no other reason than that we believe in Allaah, and in (the revelation) which has been sent down before (us), and that most of you are faasiqoon (rebellious and disobedient [to Allaah])?”
[al-Maa’idah 5:59]
“How can you disbelieve in Allaah? Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return.”
[al-Baqarah 2:28]
“… whosoever disbelieves in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away…
Verily, those who disbelieve in Allaah and His messengers and wish to make a distinction between Allaah and His Messengers (by believing in Allaah and disbelieving in His Messengers) saying, ‘We believe in some but not in others,’ and wish to adopt a way in between,
They are in truth disbelievers. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating torment.”
[al-Nisa’ 4:136, 150-151]
O disbeliever, do you think that you can do any harm to Allaah by your disbelief? Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“… But if you disbelieve, then unto Allaah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and Allaah is Ever Rich (Free of all wants), Worthy of all praise.” [al-Nisa’ 4:131]
You will only increase in hatefulness and loss in the sight of Allaah, you disbeliever, for you are one of the worst of living creatures, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, the worst of moving (living) creatures before Allaah are those who disbelieve, - so they shall not believe.”
[al-Anfaal 8:55]
O disbeliever, are you not going to die? Or do you doubt that as well? Do you know what your position will be when you die, if you die in a state of disbelief? Listen:
“And if you could see when the angels take away the souls of those who disbelief (at death), they smite their faces and their backs, (saying): ‘Taste the punishment of the blazing Fire.’”
[al-Anfaal 8:50]
O disbeliever, woe to you from what will happen to you on the Day of Resurrection! Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“… so woe to the disbelievers from the meeting of a great Day (i.e., the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).”
[Maryam 19:37]
We have an appointment with you after death, on the Day of Reckoning:
“On that day those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger [Muhammad SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] will wish that they were buried in the earth, but they will never be able to hide a single fact from Allaah.”
[al-Nisa’ 4:42]
O disbeliever, do you know what Allaah has prepared for you if you die in a state of disbelief? Read:
“And whosoever does not believe in Allaah and His Messenger [Muhammad SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)], then verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers a blazing Fire.”
[al-Fath 48:13]
“Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allaah and of the angels and mankind, combined.”
[al-Baqarah 2:161]
“Verily, those who disbelieved, and died while they were disbelievers, the (whole) earth full of gold will not be accepted from any one of them even if they offered it as a ransom. For them is a painful torment and they will have no helpers.”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:91]
“Surely, those who reject Faith, neither their properties, nor their offspring will avail them aught against Allaah. They are the dwellers of the Fire, therein they will abide.”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:116]
Do you know what you will have to drink in Hell if you die as a disbeliever? Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“… But those who disbelieved will have a drink of boiling fluids and painful torment because they used to disbelieve.”
[Yoonus 10:5]
Do you know what you will have to wear on that Day? Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“… Then as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling water will be poured down over their heads.”
[al-Hajj 22:19]
Do you know what kind of punishment you will endure?
“Surely! Those who disbelieved in Our Signs, We shall burn them in Fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for other skins that they may taste the punishment. Truly, Allaah is Ever Most Powerful, All-Wise.”
[al-Nisa’ 4:56]
“If only those who disbelieved knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs; and they will not be helped.”
[al-Anbiya’ 21:39]
O reviler, maybe on the Day of Judgement you will wish that you had been a Muslim in this world. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Perhaps (often) will those who disbelieve wish that they were Muslims.”
[al-Hijr 15:2]
O disbeliever, you are among those who have disbelieved and done wrong. Allaah says concerning you and your like (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily those who disbelieve and do wrong, Allaah will not forgive them, nor will He guide them to any way”
[al-Nisa’ 4:168]
“Those who disbelieve and deny our signs are those who will be the dwellers of the Hell-fire.”
[al-Maa’idah 5:10]
There you will have no life, but neither will you be able to find any respite in death. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“But those who disbelieve, for them will be the Fire of Hell. Neither will it have a complete killing effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever!”
[Faatir 35:36]
O disbeliever, have the glad tidings of a punishment from which you will not be able to ransom yourself:
“Verily, those who disbelieve, if they had all that is in the earth, and as much again therewith to ransom themselves thereby from the torment on the Day of Resurrection, it would never be accepted of them, and theirs would be a painful torment.”
[al-Maa’idah 5:36]
O disbeliever, if you want to mock Islam and its followers, this is nothing new:
“Beautified is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, and they mock at those who believe. But those who obey Allaah’s Orders and keep away from what He has forbidden, will be above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allaah gives (of His bounty on the Day of Resurrection) to whom He wills without limit.”
[al-Baqarah 2:212]
O disbeliever, if you think that the light of Islam will be extinguished, then you are living in a world of illusions. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“They (the disbelievers) want to extinguish Allaah’s Light with their mouths, but Allaah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the disbelievers hate (it).”
[al-Tawbah 9:32]
O disbeliever, do you know that you are cursed if you do not submit to Allaah, so save yourself from this curse:
“Verily, Allaah has cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a flaming Fire (Hell).”
[al-Ahzaab 33:64]
There is still time for you to repent from sin and transgression, so long as you are still alive. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven. But if they return (thereto), then the examples of those (punished) before them have already preceded (as a warning).”
[al-Anfaal 8:38]
Whoever is guided, then it is for his own benefit, and whoever disbelieves, then Allaah has no need of His creation. The curse of Allaah be upon the disbelievers.
