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

1. Believers, don't take My enemies and your enemies as close friends. You show them kindness, even though they've rejected the truth that has come to you. They drove out the Messenger, and you, just because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If you went out to struggle in My way, and to seek My approval, don't secretly show them friendship. I know everything you hide, and everything you show openly. Whoever does this, has definitely lost the right way.

2. If they gain power over you, they'll become your enemies, attacking you with their hands and words, wishing you would reject your faith.

3. On the Day of Judgment, your relatives and your children won't help you at all. Allah will judge between you, and He sees everything you do.

4. You have a beautiful example in Abraham and those with him. They said to their people, "We have nothing to do with you, or with the things you worship besides Allah. We reject you, and now there is hatred and hostility between us forever, until you believe in Allah alone." But Abraham said to his father, "I will ask forgiveness for you, though I can't protect you from Allah at all." "Our Lord, we trust in You, we turn to You, and to You is our final return."

5. "Our Lord, don't make us a test for those who reject You. Forgive us, our Lord. You are truly the Mighty, the Wise."

6. You certainly have a beautiful example in them, for anyone who hopes in Allah and the Last Day. But whoever turns away — Allah is Independent, Worthy of all praise.

7. Perhaps Allah will create friendship between you and those you've treated as enemies. Allah has power over everything, and Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful.

8. Allah doesn't forbid you from being kind and fair to those who haven't fought you because of your religion, or driven you from your homes. Allah loves those who are fair.

9. Allah only forbids you from making friends with those who've fought you because of your religion, driven you from your homes, or supported others in driving you out. Whoever makes friends with them — those are the ones who do wrong.

10. Believers, when believing women come to you as migrants, test their faith carefully. Allah knows best about their belief. If you find them truly faithful, don't send them back to those who reject Allah. These women aren't allowed for them, and they aren't allowed for these women. Give back whatever their husbands spent on them. There's no blame on you if you marry these women, as long as you give them their rightful marriage gifts. Don't hold on to marriages with women who reject Allah. Ask for repayment of what you've spent, and let them ask for repayment of what they've spent. This is Allah's command — He judges fairly between you. Allah knows everything and is truly wise.

11. If any of your wives leave you for those who reject Allah, and later you gain something from them, then pay back those whose wives have left an amount equal to what they spent. Be mindful of Allah, the One you believe in.

12. Prophet, when believing women come to pledge loyalty to you — promising not to worship anything besides Allah, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to kill their children, not to make up any false accusations about anyone, and not to disobey you in anything good — then accept their pledge, and ask Allah to forgive them. Allah is forgiving and kind.

13. Believers, don't make friends with people who have earned Allah's anger. They've lost all hope in the Hereafter, just as the disbelievers have lost hope in those buried in the graves.
