Not Friends
Had We willed, We could have paralyzed them in their places, leaving them unable to move forward or backward.
17:73And they indeed strove hard to beguile thee (Muhammad) away from that wherewith We have inspired thee, that thou shouldst invent other than it against Us; and then would they have accepted thee as a friend.
They nearly provoked you to drive you out of the land, but had they succeeded, they would not have remained there long.
17:76And they indeed wished to scare thee from the land that they might drive thee forth from thence, and then they would have stayed (there) but a little after thee.
Believers should not take disbelievers as allies instead of fellow believers. Whoever does so has no bond with Allah, unless it is to protect yourselves from harm.
3:28Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security. Allah biddeth you beware (only) of Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying.
They seek honour among disbelievers rather than believers; do they not realize that all honour belongs to Allah alone?
4:139Those who chose disbelievers for their friends instead of believers! Do they look for power at their hands? Lo! all power appertaineth to Allah.
O believers, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back, and you will become losers.
3:149O ye who believe! if ye obey those who disbelieve, they will make you turn back on your heels, and ye turn back as losers.
O believers! Do not take disbelievers as allies instead of the faithful. Do you wish to give Allah a clear reason to punish you?
4:144O ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers for (your) friends in place of believers. Would ye give Allah a clear warrant against you?
O believers, do not take outsiders as close allies; they will spare no effort to corrupt you. They wish for your downfall. Hatred has already been revealed from their mouths, but what they conceal in their hearts is far worse
3:118O ye who believe! Take not for intimates others than your own folk, who would spare no pains to ruin you; they love to hamper you. Hatred is revealed by (the utterance of) their mouths, but that which their breasts hide is greater. We have made plain for you the revelations if ye will understand.
You love them, but they do not love you. You believe in the entire Scripture, yet when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe,’ but when they are alone, they bite their fingertips in rage. Say, ‘Die in your anger!
3:119Lo! ye are those who love them though they love you not, and ye believe in all the Scripture. When they fall in with you they say: We believe; but when they go apart they bite their finger-tips at you, for rage. Say: Perish in your rage! Lo! Allah is Aware of what is hidden in (your) breasts.
If good comes to you, it grieves them; but if harm befalls you, they rejoice. Yet if you remain patient and mindful of Allah, their schemes will not harm you.
3:120If a lucky chance befall you, it is evil unto them, and if disaster strike you they rejoice thereat. But if ye persevere and keep from evil their guile will never harm you. Lo! Allah is Surrounding what they do.
