يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ
أَوْلِيَاء تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِم بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا
بِمَا جَاءكُم مِّنَ الْحَقِّ يُخْرِجُونَ الرَّسُولَ |

You who believe, do not take My enemies and
your enemies (the pagans) as friends, reaching to them with acts of friendship, while they deny and disbelieve in the Revelation which has come to you as the truth (in the Quran), they are attempting to drive the Messenger and you out of your home town, just because you believe in God, your Lord. If you are going out of town, striving in My Cause and seeking My acceptance, you still insist in showing them your friendship in secret, while I am fully Aware of what you hide and what you reveal. And whoever of you (Muslims) does that, then he or she has gone away from the right path. |
|
إِن يَثْقَفُوكُمْ يَكُونُوا لَكُمْ أَعْدَاء وَيَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُم بِالسُّوءِ وَوَدُّوا لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ |
|
2- |
If they ever get upper hand over you, they
would behave as your enemies and they will stretch their arms and their tongues against you with evil intent and they wish that you would disbelieve also. |
|
لَن تَنفَعَكُمْ أَرْحَامُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ |
|
3- |
Neither your relatives, nor your children
could benefit you on the Day of
Resurrection. He will judge between you separately and God is Ever All Observant on what you do. |
|
قَدْ كَانَتْ
لَكُمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ إِذْ
قَالُوا لِقَوْمِهِمْ إِنَّا بُرَءاؤا مِنكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ
مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ |

Indeed, in the behavior of Abraham and those
who were with him, there has been an excellent role-model
for you, as they told their people: ” We are indeed free and detached from you and all those things that you worship, other than God, we reject your behavior and an opposition and hatred has started between us and you forever, unless you would believe in the One God (The Creator), an exception to this attitude was Abrahams talking to his father (when he said): “Certainly, I shall ask forgiveness from God for you, but I can not change any Decision which God makes about you. Our Lord, We fully trust in You, to You do we turn (for Forgiveness) and unto You is our final return.” |
|
رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ |

“Our Lord, Please do not have us as an
object of trial for those who disbelieve and deny the truth
(which came from You), and forgive us, Our Lord, Truly You alone are the Almighty – Irresistible, the All-Wise.” |
|
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيهِمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الْآخِرَ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ |

Indeed, there has been an excellent example
for you in them, for anyone who would look forward to God (for everything good) and towards the Last Day (before the Judgment). And whoever turns away from this, then (should know that) God is the All Rich, Needless of anything and Worthy of all Praises. |
|
عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُم مِّنْهُم مَّوَدَّةً وَاللَّهُ قَدِيرٌ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |
|

There is a possibility that God will cause
friendship between you and those from whom you felt hostility.
And God is the All Powerful and Determinant. And God is the Ever Very Forgiving, the Most Merciful. |
|
لَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ |
|
8- |
God does not forbid you to be kind and fair
towards those ho do not fight against you, because of your religion, nor drive you out of your homes. Indeed God loves fair persons. |
|
إِنَّمَا
يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ
وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا |
|
9- |
But of course, God forbids you to make
friendship with those who came to fight against you and drove you out of your homes and those who helped them to drive you out of your homes. And whoever befriends them, then such people are unjust and cruel. |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا جَاءكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ
فَامْتَحِنُوهُنَّ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَانِهِنَّ فَإِنْ
عَلِمْتُمُوهُنَّ مُؤْمِنَاتٍ |

O you who believe, When believing ladies come
to you as immigrants, then test them. God knows best about their faith. Then when you make sure that they are really believers, do not send them back to the disbelievers. They are not lawful wives to them (the disbelievers any more), nor are the disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them (anymore). But do give them (the disbelievers) the amount of money that they spent (on them) And there is no sin for you to marry them (the believing women,) when you have given them their amount of dowry. On the other hand, do not keep as wives the disbelieving women, sinfully, and ask back (from them) what you gave (them), also let the disbelievers ask for the return of what they spent (before their wives became Muslim and married you). That is the Commandment of God regarding your relationships. And God knows best and He is the All Wise. |
|
وَإِن فَاتَكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ إِلَى الْكُفَّارِ فَعَاقَبْتُمْ فَآتُوا الَّذِينَ ذَهَبَتْ أَزْوَاجُهُم مِّثْلَ مَا أَنفَقُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي أَنتُم بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ |
|

And if you lose any of your wives to the
disbelievers, (if they leave you to go to disbelievers) then if you received some booty, (you asked them to return the amount of dowry that you paid them), then pay (from the booty) those believers whose wives have gone away from them, the equivalent amount, which they had spent (as dowry). And always be aware and conscious of God, in Whom you believe (act upon His Commandments). 1 |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَاءكَ
الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ عَلَى أَن لَّا يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ
شَيْئًا وَلَا يَسْرِقْنَ وَلَا يَزْنِينَ وَلَا يَقْتُلْنَ
أَوْلَادَهُنَّ |

O you Prophet, When believing women come to
you to pledge to you (their allegiance) that they will not associate anything in worship to God and that they won't steal or commit illegal sex, that they won't kill their children and will not falsely accusing a man (to be the father of their own children who is not their father, the child that they have produced) between their arms and legs and they will not disobey you in the commonly known Islamic Law, then accept their pledges and ask God to forgive them (for whatever past misdeeds). Truly God is Very Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ يَئِسُوا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ كَمَا يَئِسَ الْكُفَّارُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْقُبُورِ |
|
13- |
O you who believe, do not befriend a people
on whom God’s wrath (great disfavor) occurred, since they have really no hope or any belief in the Hereafter life, they are similar to the disbeliever who have no hope or belief regarding (the resurrection of) the dead bodies who are in the graves. |

1- These Verses besides many other Verses in the Quran show us the truly peaceful nature of Islam, allowing only defensive battles and to have fair and peaceful dealings after hostilities have ended.
