Koran says
31.15] And if they contend with you that you should associate with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them, and keep company with them in this world kindly, and follow the way of him who turns to Me, then to Me is your return, then will I inform you of what you did—

And says
[18.29]The truth is from your Lord, so let him who please believe, and let him who please disbelieve;

Also says
