Deeds of Disbelievers
Vain are the deeds of Disbelievers

{ 5} 5 -

The work of he who refuses to follow the way of faith will go

waste, and he will be among the utter losers in the Hereafter.

{ 747} 7 -

Vain are the deeds of those who reject Our signs as false and the
meeting of the Hereafter. Do they expect to be rewarded with
anything except what they used to do?

{ 71 - 8} 47 -

As to those who disbelieve, perdition lies in store for them and

Allah has reduced their works to nought. That was because they
hated what Allah had revealed; so He let their works go to
waste. Have they not journeyed through the land to see the end

of those who went before them? Allah utterly destroyed them.

The unbelievers are doomed to the same end.

{ 7} 47 -

Allah has caused the works of those who disbelieve and hinder
people from the way of Allah to go to waste.
Their deeds will be lost both in this world and in the
Hereafter.

{ 11 - 17} 3 -

Verily, those who refuse to follow the directives of Allah, who

slay the Prophets unjustly, and who slay those who enjoin
justice, give them glad tidings of a grievous chastisement. These
are the people whose works have gone to waste in this world
and in the World to Come. They have none to help them.

But (note it well that) whosoever turns back from his religion
and dies as a disbeliever, his deeds will be lost both in this world
and in the Hereafter. All such people deserve the Fire and will
abide in Hell for ever.
The greatest losers in respect of their works?

{ 711 - 711} 78 -

Do the unbelievers think that they can take My slaves as their

guardians beside Me? Verily We have prepared Hell to welcome
the unbelievers. Say, (O Muhammad): "Shall We tell you who
will be the greatest losers in respect of their works? It will be
those whose effort went astray in the life of the world and they
thought that they were doing good. Those are the ones who
refused to believe in the revelations of their Lord and the
Meeting with Him. Hence, all their deeds have come to naught,
and We shall assign no weight to them on the Day of
Resurrection. Hell is their recompense for disbelieving and their
taking My revelations and My Messengers as objects of jest.

Example of the Deeds of Disbelievers

{ 78} 74 -

This is the example of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their

works are like ashes upon which the wind blows fiercely on a
tempestuous day. They shall find no reward for their deeds. That
indeed is the farthest point in straying.

{ 41 - 33} 14 -

The deeds of those who disbelieved, maybe likened to a mirage

in a waterless desert, which the thirsty one took for water; but
when he reached there he found nothing to drink; nay, he found
there Allah Who settled his full account, and Allah is very swift at
reckoning. Or (their efforts may be likened to) a deep dark
ocean, covered with billows, one over the other, and above it a
cloud: darkness upon darkness: so much so that if he stretches
out his hand, he cannot see it. There is no light for the one whom
Allah does not give light.

All the works of mushriks (polytheists / those who

associate partners with Allah) also go to waste.

{ 78 - 77} 3 -

It does not behove the mushriks (polytheists / those who

associate partners with Allah) to become the guardians and
servants of Allah's houses of worship, while they themselves
bear witness against themselves to their disbelief; in fact, all
their works have gone to waste and they shall abide in the Fire
for ever. Only those are worthy of being the guardians and
servants of Allah's houses of worship, who believe in Allah and
the Last Day, and establish Prayer and pay Zakat dues, and fear none
but Allah: for these alone are expected to follow the Right Way.
It was revealed to you and to all Prophets before you: If you
associate any partners with Allah, your works will surely
come to naught and you will certainly be among the losers."

{ 11 - 15} 33 -

(O Prophet! Tell them clearly that) it was revealed to you and to all
Prophets before you: If you associate any partners with Allah, your

works will surely come to naught and you will certainly be among
the losers." Therefore, serve Allah alone and be among those who
give thanks.

Then We shall turn to what they had done and

render it vain like scattered dust.

{ 13 - 11} 15 -

The Day, when they see the angels, will not be a day of rejoicing
for the criminals; they will cry out, "May Allah save us!" Then
We shall turn to what they had done and render it vain like
scattered dust.
And We shall inherit from him all that he talks of, and
he will come unto Us, alone.

{ 81 - 77} 73 -

Have you seen him who disbelieves in Our revelations and says: I
shall certainly be given wealth and children? Has he known the
Unseen, or has he taken a covenant from the Beneficent? Nay,
but We shall record that which he says and, We shall increase his

torment; And We shall inherit from him all that he talks of, and
he will come unto Us, alone (without his wealth and children).
And on the Day when the unbelievers will be exposed
to the Fire, they will be told:

{ 11} 41 -

And on the Day when the unbelievers will be exposed to the
Fire, they will be told: You have exhausted your share of the
bounties in the life of the world, and you took your fill of
enjoyments. So, degrading chastisement shall be yours on this
Day for you waxed arrogant in the earth without justification
and acted iniquitously.
