Whoso desireth any other religion than El-Islám, it shall not be accepted of him, and in the world to come he [shall be] of those that perish.

(iii. 79.)

LXXIX.

The likeness of those who have disbelieved[177] is as the likeness of him who crieth out to that which heareth not [aught] save a calling and a voice. They are deaf, dumb, blind: therefore they do not understand.

(ii. 166.)

LXXX.

[As to] the unbelievers, their works are like a vapour[178] in a plain, which the thirsty imagineth to be water, until when he cometh to it he findeth it not aught:[179] (but he findeth God there, and He fully payeth him his account: and God is swift in reckoning:)

Or, like darknesses in a deep sea, covered by waves over waves,—over them clouds,—darknesses one over another: when [one] putteth forth his hand he is not nearly able to see it. And unto whomsoever God giveth not light, he hath no light.

(xxiv. 39, 40.)
