In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
80. Say, "O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and grant me from Your Presence an authority to aid."
81. And say, "Truth has arrived and falsehood perished, for falsehood is bound to perish."
82. We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe. To the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.
83. Yet when We bestow Our favors on man, he turns away and becomes remote on his side, and when evil seizes him, he gives himself up to despair!
84. Say, "Everyone acts according to his own disposition, but your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way."
The Night Journey 17:80-84

Qur'an 20090910
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
56. Say, "Call on those, besides God, whom you fancy. They have neither the power to remove your troubles from you, nor to change them."
57. Those whom they call upon do desire means of access to their Lord, even those who are nearest. They hope for God's Mercy, and fear God's Wrath, for the Wrath of your Lord is something to take heed of.

Qur'an 20090909
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
49. They say, "What? When we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up, a new creation?"
50. Say, "Be you stones, or iron!"
51. Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest. Then will they say, "Who will cause us to return?" Say, "God who created you first!" Then will they wag their heads towards you and say, "When will that be?" Say, "Maybe it will be quite soon!"
The Night Journey 17:49-51

Qur'an 20090908
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
41. We have explained variously in this Qur'an, in order that they may receive admonition, but it only increases their flight.
42. Say, "If there had been gods with God as they say, behold! They would certainly have sought out a way to the Lord of the Throne!"

Qur'an 20090829
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
101. When We substitute one revelation for another, and Allah knows best what God reveals, they say, "You are a forger," but most of them understand not.
102. Say, "The Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from your Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims."
103. We know indeed that they say, "It is a man who teaches him." The tongue of him they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this is Arabic, pure and clear.
104. Those who believe not in the Signs of Allah, Allah will not guide them, and theirs will be a grievous penalty.
105. It is those who believe not in the Signs of Allah that forge falsehood, it is they who lie!
The Bees 16:101-105

Qur'an 20090815
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
88. Strain not your eyes at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them, but lower your wings to the believers.
89. And say, "I am indeed he that warns openly and without ambiguity."
90. As We sent down on those who divided,
91. As have made the Qur'an into shreds.
92. Therefore, by your Lord, We will, of a surety, call them to account,
93. For all their deeds.
94. Therefore expound openly what you are commanded, and turn away from those who join false gods with Allah.

I guess we are all stubborn to an extent. It dosn't make it alright, though: being stubborn doesn't justify our actions. In religion, there is only One God: we might think that we are free to choose, but the Power over all is Allah. While we might not be convinced of this while we are alive, that is exactly the point: the sure evidence comes when we die. That is the essence of faith, is to believe in the unseen. Do you believe in the air you breath, and do you believe in what is around the corner?
So, there will be that Day, when Wrath will reach them, and the wrongdoers will beg for mercy. They will plead for another chance, and promise to follow the Call of God. Even though before they swore that they should suffer no decline. And the plots that they brewed were never out of the sight of Allah, even though they were such as to shake the hills!
