The Holy Qur'an says:
"And He misleadeth thereby only
miscreants." (2:26)
Again the Holy Qur'an says:
"Who so judgeth not by that which
Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers." (5 :44)
In another Verse the Almighty Allah
says :
"Lo ! those who hide aught of the
Scripture which Allah hath revealed, and purchase a small gain therewith, they
eat into their bellies nothing else than fire."' (2 :174)
Abu Sa'id al Khudri (Allah be pleased
with him) reported that he heard Allah's Apostle (peace and blessings of Allah
be upon him) as saying, "There will appear some people among you whose
prayer will make you look down upon yours, but they will recite the Qur'an
which will not exceed their throats (they will not act on it) and they will go
out of Islam as an arrow goes t through the game whereupon the archer would
examine the arrowhead but see nothing, and look at the unfeathered arrow but
see nothing, and look at the arrow feathers but see nothing and finally he
suspects to find something in the lower part of the arrow." Bukhari and
Muslim transmitted if.
Another version is : "they will
recite the Holy Qur'an in a melodious tone." 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (Allah be
pleased with him) declared them the
worst type of creatures and said: They will apply the revealed Verses
concerning infidels over the Mu'minin (believers).
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with
him) reported Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as
saying: "The man who is questioned about knowledge and hides it
(knowingly), shall be bridled with a bridle of fire on the Day of
Resurrection."
