DISREGARD FOR GOD
I seek refuge in Allah from satan the rejected.
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
The general meaning of disregard is as follows: lack of attention; neglect; to pay no attention to; to consider as of little or no importance.
The general meaning of regard is as follows: to observe; to hold in respect; to consider; to heed, take into account. It also means a look, attention, reference, respect, esteem, (pl) good wishes, greetings.
There are more verses in the Quran on "disregarding" than on "regarding." This is because GOD knows that the majority of human beings will disregard Him, the Hereafter, His scriptures, His messengers, His commandments, His revelations, His proofs, His miracles, and anything that He reveals for them. Accordingly, I have selected the subject of "disregard of human beings for GOD" with the entire subject in the Quran revolving around a few major and important topics, which constitutes the essence of ISLAM.
Disregarding GOD
10:32 Such is GOD, your rightful Lord. What is there after the truth, except falsehood? How could you disregard all this?
10:33 This is what your Lord's decision does to those who choose to be wicked: they cannot believe.
Revealed: The messenger’s letters are 22 and 23, revealing the diff. of 1.
Revealed: The messenger’s initials are 19 and 19, revealing the Sacred Codes.
Revealed: In verse 10:32, the Allah letters are 19 to prove that Allah is the rightful Lord of the Universe.
Disregarding the Hereafter
75:20-21 Indeed, you love this fleeting (brief & transient) life. While disregarding the Hereafter.
Revealed: The Allah letters are 12 and messenger’s letters are 13,
revealing the diff. of 1.
Revealed: In verse 75:20, the GV of Allah letters is 128 – revealing the messenger.
Revealed: In verses 75:20-21, the GV of Allah letters is 165 – the Absoluteness, Subhan Allah.
76:27 These people are preoccupied with this fleeting life, while disregarding - just ahead of them – a heavy day. (See verse 73:5 on heavy message)
Revealed: The Allah letters are 14 – revealing the Seven Pairs.
Disregarding Covenants
2:100 Is it not a fact that when they make a covenant and pledge to keep it, some of them always disregard it? In fact, most of them do not believe.
3:187 GOD took a covenant from those who received the scripture: "You shall proclaim it to the people, and never conceal it." But they disregarded it behind their backs, and traded it away for a cheap price. What a miserable trade.
5:14 Also from those who said, "We are Christian," we took their covenant. But they disregarded some of the commandments given to them. Consequently, we condemned them to animosity and hatred among themselves, until the Day of Resurrection. GOD will then inform them of everything they had done.
Disregarding Covenants about Messengers
7:101 We narrate to you the history of those communities: their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in what they had rejected before. GOD thus seals the hearts of the disbelievers.
7:102 We found that most of them disregard their covenant; we found most of them wicked.
Disregarding the Messenger & Scripture
2:101 Now that a messenger from GOD has come to them, and even though he proves and confirms their own scripture, some followers of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) disregard GOD's scripture behind their backs, as if they never had any scripture.
Disregarding the Scripture
5:43 Why do they ask you to judge among them, when they have the Torah, containing GOD's law, and they chose to disregard it? They are not believers.
2
56:77-82 This is an honorable Quran. In a protected book. None can grasp it except the sincere. A revelation from the Lord of the universe. Are you disregarding this narration? Do you make it your business that you disbelieve?
Disregarding Messengers and Prophecies
7:53 Are they waiting until all (prophecies) are fulfilled? The day such fulfillment comes to pass, those who disregarded it in the past will say, "The messengers of our Lord have brought the truth. Are there any intercessors to intercede on our behalf? Would you send us back, so that we change our behavior, and do better works than what we did?" They have lost their souls, and their own innovations have caused their doom.
46:26 We had established them in the same way as we established you, and provided them with hearing, eyes, and minds. But their hearing, eyes, and minds did not help them at all. This is because they decided to disregard GOD's revelations. Thus, the prophecies and warnings that they ridiculed have caused their doom.
Disregarding the Messenger
8:20 O you who believe, obey GOD and His messenger, and do not disregard him while you hear.
8:21 Do not be like those who say, "We hear," when they do not hear.
Disregarding the Revelations
6:33 We know that you may be saddened by what they say. You should know that it is not you that they reject; it is GOD's revelations that the wicked disregard.
11:59 Such was `Aad – they disregarded the revelations of their Lord, disobeyed His messengers, and followed the ways of every stubborn tyrant.
11:60 Consequently, they incurred condemnation in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, `Aad rejected their Lord. Indeed, `Aad, the people of Hood, have perished.
15:80 The people of Al-Hijr disbelieved the messengers.
15:81 We gave them our revelations, but they disregarded them.
29:47 We have revealed to you this scripture, and those whom we blessed with the previous scripture will believe in it. Also, some of your people will believe in it. Indeed, those who disregard our revelations are the real
3
disbelievers.
29:49 In fact, these revelations are clear in the chests of those who possess knowledge. Only the wicked will disregard our revelations.
32:22 Who is more evil than one who is reminded of these revelations of his Lord, then insists upon disregarding them? We will certainly punish the guilty.
7:9 As for those whose weights are light, they will be the ones who lost their souls as a consequence of disregarding our revelations, unjustly.
Disregarding the Message
6:42 We have sent (messengers) to communities before you, and we put them to the test through adversity and hardship, that they may implore.
6:43 If only they implored when our test afflicted them! Instead, their hearts were hardened, and the devil adorned their works in their eyes.
6:44 When they thus disregard the message given to them, we open for them the gates of everything. Then, just as they rejoice in what was given to them, we punish them suddenly; they become utterly stunned.
20:99 We thus narrate to you some news from the past generations. We have revealed to you a message from us.
20:100 Those who disregard it will bear a load (of sins) on the Day of Resurrection.
20:124 "As for the one who disregards My message, he will have a miserable life, and we resurrect him, on the Day of Resurrection, blind."
43:36 Anyone who disregards the message of the Most Gracious, we appoint a devil to be his constant companion.
43:37 Such companions will divert them from the path, yet make them believe that they are guided.
58:19 The devil has possessed them, and has caused them to disregard GOD's message. These are the party of the devil. Absolutely, the party of the devil are the losers.
58:20 Surely, those who oppose GOD and His messenger will be with the lowliest.
58:21 GOD has decreed: "I and My messengers will most assuredly win." GOD is Powerful, Almighty.
72:17 We will surely test them all. As for him who disregards the message of his Lord, He will direct him to ever increasing retribution.

25:18 They will say, "Be You glorified, it was not right for us to set up any lords beside You. But You allowed them to enjoy, together with their parents. Consequently, they disregarded the message and thus became wicked people." 25:19 They have disbelieved in the message you have given them, and, consequently, you can neither protect them from the retribution they have incurred, nor can you help them in any way. Anyone among you who commits evil, we will commit him to severe retribution.
25:20 We did not send any messengers before you who did not eat food and walk in the markets. We thus test you by each other; will you steadfastly persevere? Your Lord is Seer.
Disregarding the Commandments
5:13 It was a consequence of their violating the covenant that we condemned them, and we caused their hearts to become hardened. Consequently, they took the words out of context, and disregarded some of the commandments given to them. You will continue to witness betrayal from them, excepting a few of them. You shall pardon them, and disregard them. GOD loves those who are benevolent.
39:56 Lest a soul may say, "How sorry I am for disregarding GOD's commandments; I was certainly one of the mockers."
Disregarding God’s Proofs
6:157 Nor can you say, "If only a scripture could come down to us, we would be better guided than they." A proven scripture has now come to you from your Lord, and a beacon, and a mercy. Now, who is more evil than one who rejects these proofs from GOD, and disregards them? We will commit those who disregard our proofs to the worst retribution for their heedlessness.
7:175 Recite for them the news of one who was given our proofs, but chose to
disregard them. Consequently, the devil pursued him, until he became a strayer.
18:57 Who are more evil than those who are reminded of their Lord's proofs, then disregard them, without realizing what they are doing. Consequently, we place shields on their hearts to prevent them from understanding it (the Quran), and deafness in their ears. Thus, no matter what you do to guide them, they can never ever be guided.
36:46 No matter what kind of proof is given to them from their Lord, they consistently disregard it.

Disregarding Messenger, Scripture, Proofs
23:66 My proofs have been presented to you, but you turned back on your heels.
23:67 You were too arrogant to accept them, and you defiantly disregarded them.
23:68 Why do they not reflect upon this scripture? Do they not realize that they have received something never attained by their ancestors?
23:69 Have they failed to recognize their messenger? Is this why they are disregarding him?
23:70 Have they decided that he is crazy? Indeed, he has brought the truth to them, but most of them hate the truth.
23:71 Indeed, if the truth conformed to their wishes, there would be chaos in the heavens and the earth; everything in them would be corrupted. We have given them their proof, but they are disregarding their proof.
23:72 Are you asking them for a wage? Your Lord's wage is far better. He is the best Provider.
23:73 Most assuredly, you are inviting them to a straight path.
Disregarding God’s Miracles
2:211 Ask the Children of Israel how many profound miracles have we shown them! For those who disregard the blessings bestowed upon them by GOD, GOD is most strict in retribution.
After reciting some of the topics and the verses on them, which inform us that the majority of the people disregard GOD and violate their covenants made with Him, I now turn to the verses, which command the messengers to disregard certain people and their utterances when they fail to comply with the Quran.
Command to the Messengers to disregard
6:70 You shall disregard those who take their religion in vain, as if it is a social function, and are totally absorbed in this worldly life. Remind with this (Quran), lest a soul may suffer the consequences of its evil earnings. It has none beside GOD as a Lord and Master, nor an intercessor. If it could offer any kind of ransom, it would not be accepted. They suffer the consequences of the evil works they earn; they have incurred hellish drinks, and a painful retribution because of their disbelief.
6:105 We thus explain the revelations, to prove that you have received knowledge, and to clarify them for people who know.
6:106 Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord, there is no GOD except He,
6
and disregard the idol worshipers.
15:94 Therefore, carry out the orders given to you, and disregard the idol worshipers.
6:112 We have permitted the enemies of every prophet - human and jinn devils - to inspire in each other fancy words, in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications. 6:113 This is to let the minds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and accept them, and thus expose their real convictions.
6:137 Thus were the idol worshipers duped by their idols, to the extent of killing their own children. In fact, their idols inflict great pain upon them, and confuse their religion for them. Had GOD willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications.
7:180 To GOD belongs the most beautiful names; call upon Him therewith, and
disregard those who distort His names. They will be requited for their sins.
7:198 When you invite them to the guidance, they do not hear. And you see them looking at you, but they do not see.
7:199 You shall resort to pardon, advocate tolerance, and disregard the ignorant.
9:94 They apologize to you when you return to them. Say, "Do not apologize; we no longer trust you. GOD has informed us about you." GOD will see your works, and so will the messenger, then you will be returned to the Knower of all secrets and declarations, then He will inform you of everything you had done.
9:95 They will swear by GOD to you, when you return to them, that you may disregard them. Do disregard them. They are polluted, and their destiny is Hell, as a requital for the sins they have earned.
9:96 They swear to you, that you may pardon them. Even if you pardon them,
GOD does not pardon such wicked people.
28:55 When they come across vain talk, they disregard it and say, "We are responsible for our deeds, and you are responsible for your deeds. Peace be upon you. We do not wish to behave like the ignorant ones."
32:29 Say, "The day such a victory comes, believing will not benefit those who did not believe before that, nor will they be given another chance."
32:30 Therefore, disregard them and wait, they too are waiting.
33:48 Do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites, disregard their insults, and put your trust in GOD; GOD suffices as an advocate.

37:178 Disregard them for awhile. 37:179 Watch them; they too will watch.
43:88 It will be proclaimed: "O my Lord, these people do not believe."
43:89 You shall disregard them and say, "Peace;" they will surely find out.
51:54 You may disregard them; you cannot be blamed. 51:55 And remind, for the reminder benefits the believers.
53:28 They had no knowledge about this; they only conjectured. Conjecture is no substitute for the truth.
53:29 You shall disregard those who turn away from our message, and become preoccupied with this worldly life.
53:30 This is the extent of their knowledge. Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed away from His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided.
73:10 And remain steadfast in the face of their utterances, and disregard them in a nice manner.
73:11 And let Me deal with the rejectors, who have been generously blessed; just give them a little time.
4:81 They pledge obedience, but as soon as they leave you, some of them harbor intentions contrary to what they say. GOD records their innermost intentions. You shall disregard them, and put your trust in GOD. GOD suffices as an advocate.
6:33 We know that you may be saddened by what they say. You should know that it is not you that they reject; it is GOD's revelations that the wicked disregard.
Peace be upon the messengers.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Universe.
