- ::Sura 6:
- :
- ::25. And of them is he who hearkens to you, and We have cast
- ::veils over their hearts lest they understand it and a heaviness into
- ::their ears; and even if they see every sign they will not believe in
- ::it; so much so that when they come to you they only dispute with
- ::you; those who disbelieve say: This is naught but the stories of
- ::the ancients.
- :
- :Although, you do not explicitly say so, you seem to want to lump
- :unbelievers like me (and others) and believers like Hoodbhoy,
- :Salam (and others on SCP). You seem to be questioning the ability
- :of people who do not agree with Bucaille, to "understand, reflect
- :and ponder" the meaning of the signs. You seem to be close to
- :condemning those who do not agree with your favorite interpretation,
- :and hint at eternal damnation for these.

- Sura 48:
-
- 4. He it is Who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of
- the believers that they might have more of faith added to
- their faith-- and Allah's are the hosts of the heavens and
- the earth, and Allah is Knowing, Wise--
-
- S. That He may cause the believing men and the believing
- women to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide
- therein and remove from them their evil; and that is a grand
- achievement with Allah
-
- Sura 3:
-
- 29. Say: Whether you hide what is in your hearts or manifest it,
- Allah knows it, and He knows whatever is in the heavens and
- whatever is in the earth, and Allah has power over all things.
-
-
- Sura 8:
-
- 2. Those only are believers whose hearts become full of fear
- when Allah is mentioned, and when His communications are
- recited to them they increase them in faith, and in their Lord do
- they trust.
-
- Sura 13:
-
- 27. And those who disbelieve say: Why is not a sign sent
- down upon him by his Lord? Say: Surely Allah makes him who
- will go astray, and guides to Himself those who turn (to
- Him).
-
- 28. Those who believe and whose hearts are set at rest by
- the remembrance of Allah; now surely by Allah's remembrance
- are the hearts set at rest.
-
- 29. (As for) those who believe and do good, a good final
- state shall be theirs and a goodly return.
