Arabic Qur'an with English Translation
Chapter 60: Al-Mumtahana
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[1] O ye who believe! Take not My enemies and
yours as friends (or protectors), offering them (your) love, even
though they have rejected the Truth that has come to you, and have
(on the contrary) driven out the Messenger and yourselves (from your
homes), (simply) because ye believe in Allah your Lord! If ye have
come out to strive in My Way and to Seek My Good Pleasure, (take
them not as friends), holding secret converse of love (and
friendship) with them: for I know full well all that ye conceal and
all that ye reveal. And any of you that does this has strayed from
the Straight Path.
[2] If they were to get the better of you, they
would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and
their tongues against you for evil; and they desire that ye should
reject the Truth.
[3] Of no profit to you will be your relatives
and your children on the Day of Judgment: He will judge between you:
for Allah sees well all that ye do.
[4] There is for you an excellent example (to
follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their
people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides
Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and
you, enmity and hatred forever, unless ye believe in Allah and Him
alone": but not when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for
forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy
behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our Lord! In Thee do we trust,
and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) final Goal.
