The Qur'an, as elsewhere noted, has much to say about the disbelievers. It also has a rich and almost entirely negative vocabulary to describe them. They are deaf, dumb, and blind, the "worst of creatures." They are proud and stubborn in their defiance of Allah and his apostle. Overall, the impression one gets of these people from the Qur'an is intensively negative and their terrible fate in the fire more well-deserved. Some of these negative verses in context refer to specific groups such as those who broke treaties or have oppressed the believers. Other verses are blanket statements about those who disbelieve, for example {{Quran|7|177}}, {{Quran|18|57}}, {{Quran|29|49}}, {{Quran|98|6}}. Muhammad's message had been mocked and rejected by the majority of the Meccans, where he and his followers were persecuted and driven out. | The Qur'an, as elsewhere noted, has much to say about the disbelievers.

{{Quote|{{Quran|3|75}}|And among the People of the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of wealth], he will return it to you. And among them is he who, if you entrust him with a [single] silver coin, he will not return it to you unless you are constantly standing over him [demanding it].
