Al-Mumtahina
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O ye who believe! Choose not My enemy and
your enemy for friends. Do ye give them friendship when they
disbelieve in that truth which hath come unto you, driving
out the messenger and you because ye believe in Allah, your
Lord? If ye have come forth to strive in My way and seeking
My good pleasure, (show them not friendship). Do ye show
friendship unto them in secret, when I am best aware of what
ye hide and what ye proclaim? And whosoever doeth it among
you, he verily hath strayed from the right way. (1)
If they have the upper hand of you, they
will be your foes, and will stretch out their hands and
their tongues toward you with evil (intent), and they long
for you to disbelieve. (2)
Your ties of kindred and your children
will avail you naught upon the Day of Resurrection. He will
part you. Allah is Seer of what ye do. (3)
There is a goodly pattern for you in
Abraham and those with him, when they told their folk: Lo!
we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside
Allah. We have done with you. And there hath arisen between
us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in
Allah only - save that which Abraham promised his father (when
he said): I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I own
nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord! In Thee we put our
trust, and unto Thee we turn repentant, and unto Thee is the
journeying. (4)
Our Lord! Make us not a prey for those who
disbelieve, and forgive us, our Lord! Lo! Thou, only Thou,
are the Mighty, the Wise. (5)
Verily ye have in them a goodly pattern
for everyone who looketh to Allah and the Last Day. And
whosoever may turn away, lo! still Allah, He is the
Absolute, the Owner of Praise. (6)
It may be that Allah will ordain love
between you and those of them with whom ye are at enmity.
Allah is Mighty, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (7)
Allah forbiddeth you not those who warred
not against you on account of religion and drove you not out
from your homes, that ye should show them kindness and deal
justly with them. Lo! Allah loveth the just dealers. (8)
Allah forbiddeth you only those who warred
against you on account of religion and have driven you out
from your homes and helped to drive you out, that ye make
friends of them. Whosoever maketh friends of them - (All)
such are wrong-doers. (9)
O ye who believe! When believing women
come unto you as fugitives, examine them. Allah is best
aware of their faith. Then, if ye know them for true
believers, send them not back unto the disbelievers. They
are not lawful for them (the disbelievers), nor are they the
disbelievers lawful for them. And give them the disbelievers
that which they have spent (upon them). And it is no sin for
you to marry such women when ye have given them their dues.
And hold not to the ties of disbelieving women; and ask for
(the return of) that which ye have spent; and let the the
disbelievers ask for that which they have spent. That is the
judgment of Allah. He judgeth between you. Allah is Knower,
Wise. (10)
And if any of your wives have gone from
you unto the disbelievers and afterward ye have your turn
(of triumph), then give unto those whose wives have gone the
like of that which they have spent, and keep your duty to
Allah in Whom ye are believers. (11)
O Prophet! If believing women come unto
thee, taking oath of allegiance unto thee that they will
ascribe nothing as partner unto Allah, and will neither
steal nor commit adultery nor kill their children, nor
produce any lie that they have devised between their hands
and feet, nor disobey thee in what is right, then accept
their allegiance and ask Allah to forgive them. Lo! Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful. (12)
O ye who believe! Be not friendly with a
folk with whom Allah is wroth, (a folk) who have despaired
of the Hereafter as the disbelievers despair of those who
are in the graves. (13)
