In the name of Allah, the Most Kind, the Most Caring.

1. Believers, don't make friends with My enemies and your enemies. Don't show them love, because they rejected the truth that came to you. They forced out the Messenger and you, just because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If you truly went out to struggle for Me and to please Me, don't secretly show them friendship. I know everything you hide and everything you show. Whoever does this has lost the right way.

2. If they catch you, they'll treat you as enemies. They'll hurt you with their hands and say mean things with their tongues. They wish you would stop believing in Allah.

3. On the Day of Judgment, your family and your children won't help you. Allah will separate you from each other. Allah sees everything you do.

4. You have a good example in Abraham and those with him. They said to their people, "We have nothing to do with you or with what you worship besides Allah. We reject what you believe. Between us and you, there will always be dislike and anger until you believe in Allah alone." But Abraham said to his father, "I'll ask Allah to forgive you, but I can't protect you from Allah at all." They prayed, "Our Lord, we trust You, we turn to You, and we'll return to You.

5. Our Lord, don't let us become a test for those who disbelieve. Forgive us, our Lord. You are the Mighty, the Wise."

6. They are a good example for you — for anyone who hopes in Allah and the Last Day. But whoever turns away, remember that Allah doesn't need anyone, and He deserves all praise.

7. Maybe Allah will create friendship between you and those you now see as enemies. Allah has power over everything. Allah is forgiving and kind.

8. Allah doesn't stop you from being kind and fair to those who didn't fight you because of your religion and didn't force you out of your homes. Allah loves those who are fair.

9. Allah only stops you from making friends with those who fought you because of your religion, forced you out of your homes, and helped others to force you out. Whoever makes friends with them is doing wrong.

10. Believers, when believing women come to you after leaving their homes, test them carefully. Allah knows best if their faith is true. If you find out they're true believers, don't send them back to those who don't believe. These women aren't allowed to marry them anymore, and those people aren't allowed to marry these women. Give back to those people whatever they spent. It's okay for you to marry these women if you give them their gifts. Don't hold onto marriages with women who don't believe. Ask for what you spent, and let them ask for what they spent. This is Allah's rule. He judges fairly between you. Allah knows everything and is very wise.

11. If any of your wives leave you and go to those who don't believe, and you get something in return, then give to those men whose wives left the same amount they spent. Always be careful to obey Allah, the One you believe in.

12. Prophet, when believing women come to you to pledge allegiance, promising that they won't associate partners with Allah, won't steal, won't be unfaithful to their husbands, won't hurt their children, won't make up lies, and won't disobey you in what is right — then accept their promise and ask Allah to forgive them. Allah is Forgiving and Kind.

13. Believers, don't make close friends with people who made Allah angry. They have lost all hope in the Hereafter, just like disbelievers have lost hope about those in the graves.
