[5:51]
O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the
Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who
taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing
folk.
[5:52]
And thou seest those in whose heart is a disease
race toward them, saying: We fear lest a change of fortune befall us. And it
may happen that Allah will vouchsafe (unto thee) the victory,
or a commandment from His presence. Then will they repent them of their secret
thoughts.
[5:53]
Then will the believers say (unto the people of
the Scripture): are these they who swore by Allah their most binding oaths that
they were surely with you ? Their works have failed,
and they have become the losers.
[5:54]
O ye who believe! Whoso of you becometh a
renegade from his religion, (know that in his stead) Allah will bring a people whom
He loveth and who love Him, humble toward believers, stern toward disbelievers,
striving in the way of Allah, and fearing not the blame of any blamer. Such is
the grace of Allah which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah
is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
[5:55]
Your guardian can be only Allah; and His
messenger and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poordue, and
bow down (in prayer).
[5:56]
And whoso taketh Allah and His messenger and
those who believe for guardian (will know that), lo! the
party of Allah, they are the victorious.
[5:57]
O Ye who believe! Choose not for guardians such
of those who received the Scripture before you, and of the disbelievers, as
make a jest and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are
true believers.
