In the Name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[60.1] O you
who believe! do not take My enemy and your enemy for friends: would you offer them love
while they deny what has come to you of the truth, driving out the Apostle and yourselves
because you believe in Allah, your Lord? If you go forth struggling hard in My path and
seeking My pleasure, would you manifest love to them? And I know what you conceal and what
you manifest; and whoever of you does this, he indeed has gone astray from the straight
path.
[60.2] If
they find you, they will be your enemies, and will stretch forth towards you their hands
and their tongues with evil, and they ardently desire that you may disbelieve.
[60.3] Your
relationship would not profit you, nor your children on the day of resurrection; He will
decide between you; and Allah sees what you do.
[60.4]
Indeed, there is for you a good example in Ibrahim and those with him when they said to
their people: Surely we are clear of you and of what you serve besides Allah; we declare
ourselves to be clear of you, and enmity and hatred have appeared between us and you
forever until you believe in Allah alone -- but not in what Ibrahim said to his father: I
would certainly ask forgiveness for you, and I do not control for you aught from Allah --
Our Lord! on Thee do we rely, and to Thee do we turn, and to Thee is the eventual coming:
[60.5] Our
Lord! do not make us a trial for those who disbelieve, and forgive us, our Lord! surely
Thou art the Mighty, the Wise.
[60.6]
Certainly there is for you in them a good example, for him who fears Allah and the last
day; and whoever turns back, then surely Allah is the Self-sufficient, the Praised.
[60.7] It
may be that Allah will bring about friendship between you and those whom you hold to be
your enemies among them; and Allah is Powerful; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[60.8] Allah
does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of
(your) religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them
kindness and deal with them justly; surely Allah loves the doers of justice.
[60.9] Allah
only forbids you respecting those who made war upon you on account of (your) religion, and
drove you forth from your homes and backed up (others) in your expulsion, that you make
friends with them, and whoever makes friends with them, these are the unjust.
[60.10] O
you who believe! when believing women come to you flying, then examine them; Allah knows
best their faith; then if you find them to be believing women, do not send them back to
the unbelievers, neither are these (women) lawful for them, nor are those (men) lawful for
them, and give them what they have spent; and no blame attaches to you in marrying them
when you give them their dowries; and hold not to the ties of marriage of unbelieving
women, and ask for what you have spent, and let them ask for what they have spent. That is
Allah's judgment; He judges between you, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
[60.11] And
if anything (out of the dowries) of your wives has passed away from you to the
unbelievers, then your turn comes, give to those whose wives have gone away the like of
what they have spent, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah in Whom you believe.
[60.12] O
Prophet! when believing women come to you giving you a pledge that they will not associate
aught with Allah, and will not steal, and will not commit fornication, and will not kill
their children, and will not bring a calumny which they have forged of themselves, and
will not disobey you in what is good, accept their pledge, and ask forgiveness for them
from Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[60.13] O
you who believe! do not make friends with a people with whom Allah is wroth; indeed they
despair of the hereafter as the unbelievers despair of those in tombs.
