Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:154That they took usury, Though they were forbidden; And that they devoured Men's substance wrongfully;— We have prepared for those Among them who reject Faith A grievous punishment.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:161God did aforetime Take a Covenant from The Children of Israel, And We appointed twelve Captains among them. And God said: "I am With you: if ye (but) Establish regular Prayers, Practise regular Charity, Believe in My apostles, Honour and assist them, And loan to God A beautiful loan, Verily I will wipe out From you your evils, And admit you to Gardens With rivers flowing beneath; But if any of you, after this, Resisteth faith, he hath truly Wandered from the path Of rectitude."
Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:12From those, too, who call Themselves Christians, We did take a Covenant, But they forgot a good part Of the Message that was Sent them: so We estranged Them, with enmity and hatred Between the one and the other, To the Day of Judgment.

Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 5:14O Apostle! let not Those grieve thee, who race Each other into Unbelief: (Whether it be) among those Who say "We believe" With their lips but Whose hearts have no faith; Or it be among the Jews,— Men who will listen To any lie,—will listen Even to others who have Never so much as come To thee. They change the words From their (right) times And places; they say, "If ye are given this, Take it, but if not, Beware!" If any one's trial Is intended by God, thou hast No authority in the least For him against God. For such—it is not God's will to purify Their hearts. For them There is disgrace In this world, and In the Hereafter A heavy punishment.

Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:44Say:"Think ye, if God Took away your hearing And your sight, and sealed up Your hearts, who—a god Other than God—could Restore them to you?" See how We explain The Signs by various (symbols); Yet they turn aside.
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:46Leave alone those Who take their religion To be mere play And amusement, And are deceived By the life of this world. But proclaim (to them) This (truth): that every soul Delivers itself to ruin By its own acts: It will find for itself No protector or intercessor Except God: if it offered Every ransom, (or Reparation), none Will be accepted: such is (The end of) those who Deliver themselves to ruin By their own acts: They will have for drink (Only) boiling water, And for punishment, One most grievous: For they persisted In rejecting God.
