(13:33) Who is the One standing over every person for what it has earned? Yet they make partners with Allah. Say, "Name them? Or are you informing Him of what He does not know on earth? Or is it just a show of words?" But to the ingrates, their scheming is made to appear clever, and they are turned away from the path. Whoever Allah misguides will have no guide.

(2:79) So woe to those who type the text with their hands then say, "This is from Allah," so that they can seek a cheap gain! Woe to them for what their hands have typeed, and woe to them for what they have gained.
