“Soon I shall turn away from My signs those who are unduly arrogant in the earth; [even] though they should see every sign, they will not believe in it, and if they see the way of rectitude they will not take it as [their] way, and if they see the way of error they will take it as [their] way. That is because they deny Our signs and are oblivious to them.” (Holy Qur’an 7:146)
