Ezekiel 3:19
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

74:30 ~ In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. ~ 27:30
1. By the Sun
And his (glorious) splendour;
2. By the Moon
As she follows him;
3. By the Day as it
Shows up (the Sun's) glory;
4. By the Night as it
Conceals it;
5. By the Firmament
And its (wonderful) structure;
6. By the Earth
And its (wide) expanse;
7. By the Soul,
And the proportion and order
Given to it;
8. And its enlightenment
As to its wrong
And its right;—
9. Truly he succeeds
That purifies it,
10. And he fails
That corrupts it!
11. The Thamūd (people)
Rejected (their prophet)
Through their inordinate
Wrong-doing.
12. Behold, the most wicked
Man among them was
Deputed (for impiety).
13. But the apostle of God
Said to them: "It is
A She-camel of God!
And (bar her not
From) having her drink!"
14. Then they rejected him
(As a false prophet),
And they hamstrung her.
So their Lord, on account
Of their crime, obliterated
Their traces and made them
Equal (in destruction,
High and low)!
15. And for Him
Is no fear
Of its consequences.

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
11. Leave Me alone, (to deal)
With the (creature) whom
I created (bare and) alone!—
12. To whom I granted
Resources in abundance,
13. And sons to be
By his side!—
14. To whom I made
(Life) smooth and comfortable!
15. Yet is he greedy—
That I should add
(Yet more);—
16. By no means!
For to Our Signs
He has been refractory!
17. Soon will I visit him
With a mount of calamities!
18. For he thought
And he plotted;—
19. And woe to him!
How he plotted!—
20. Yea, woe to him:
How he plotted!—
21. Then he looked round;
22. Then he frowned
And he scowled;
23. Then he turned back
And was haughty;
24. Then said he:
"This is nothing but magic,
Derived from of old;
25. "This is nothing but
The word of a mortal!"
26. Soon will I
Cast him into Hell-Fire!
27. And what will explain
To thee what Hell-Fire is?
28. Naught doth it permit
To endure, and naught
Doth it leave alone!—
29. Darkening and changing
The colour of man!
30. Over it are Nineteen.

1. Those who reject God
And hinder (men) from
The Path of God,
Their deeds will God
Render astray
(From their mark).
2. But those who believe
And work deeds of
Righteousness, and believe
In the (Revelation) sent down
To Muhammad—for it is
The Truth from their Lord,
He will remove from them
Their ills and improve
Their condition.

5:57 - 60.
57.
O ye who believe!
Take not for friends
And protectors those
Who take your religion
For a mockery or sport,—
Whether among those
Who received the Scripture
Before you, or among those
Who reject Faith;
But fear ye God,
If ye have Faith (indeed).
58.
When ye proclaim
Your call to prayer,
They take it (but)
As mockery and sport;
That is because they are
A people without understanding.
59.
Say: "O People of the Book!
Do ye disapprove of us
For no other reason than
That we believe in God,
And the revelation
That hath come to us
And that which came
Before (us), and (perhaps)
That most of you
Are rebellious and disobedient?
60.
Say: "Shall I point out
To you something much worse
Than this, (as judged)
By the treatment it received
From God? Those who
Incurred the curse of God
And His wrath, those of whom some
He transformed into apes and swine,
Those who worshipped Evil;—
These are (many times) worse
In rank, and far more astray
From the even Path!"

1. O ye who believe!
Take not My enemies
And yours as friends
(Or protectors),—offering them
(Your) love, even though
They have rejected the Truth
That has come to you,
And have (on the contrary)
Driven out the Prophet
And yourselves (from your homes),
(Simply) because ye believe
In God your Lord!
If ye have come out
To strive in My Way
And to seek My Good Pleasure,
(Take them not as friends),
Holding secret converse
Of love (and friendship)
With them: for I know
Full well all that ye
Conceal and all that ye
Reveal. And any of you
That does this has strayed
From the Straight Path.
2. If they were to get
The better of you,
They would behave to you
As enemies, and stretch forth
Their hands and their tongues
Against you for evil;
And they desire that ye
Should reject the Truth.
3. Of no profit to you
Will be your relatives
And your children
On the Day of Judgment:
He will judge between you:
For God sees well
All that ye do.

In the name of God, most Gracious, Most Merciful.
190. Fight in the cause of God
Those who fight you,
But do not transgress limits;
For God loveth not transgressors.
191. And slay them
Wherever ye catch them,
And turn them out
From where they have
Turned you out;
For tumult and oppression
Are worse than slaughter;
But fight them not
At the Sacred Mosque,
Unless they (first)
Fight you there;
But if they fight you,
Slay them.
Such is the reward
Of those who suppress faith.
