Do you not see that God has made what is in the heavens and what is in the earth subservient to you, and made complete to you His favors outwardly and inwardly? And among men is he who disputes in respect of God though having no knowledge nor guidance, nor a book giving light. And when it is said to them: Follow what God has revealed, they say: Nay, we follow that on which we found our fathers. What! though the Satan calls them to the chastisement of the burning fire! And whoever submits himself wholly to God and he is the doer of good (to others), he indeed has taken hold of the firmest thing upon which one can lay hold; and God’s is the end of affairs.
And whoever disbelieves, let not his disbelief grieve you; to Us is their return, then will We inform them of what they did surely God is the Knower of what is in the chests. We give them to enjoy a little, then will We drive them to a severe chastisement (Koran 3:20-24).
