3:10 Those who disbelieve will never be helped by their money, nor by their children, against GOD. They will be fuel for Hell.
3:11 Like Pharaoh’s people and those before them, they rejected our revelations and, consequently, GOD punished them for their sins. GOD is strict in enforcing retribution.
3:12 Say to those who disbelieve, “You will be defeated, then gathered in Hell; what a miserable abode!”
Believers: The Ultimate Victors
3:13 An example has been set for you by the two armies who clashed – one army was fighting in the cause of GOD, while the other was disbelieving.

10:31 Say, “Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Who controls all the hearing and the eyesight? Who produces the living from the dead, and the dead from the living? Who is in control of all things?” They would say, “GOD.” Say, “Why then do you not observe the commandments?”
