Muslims and Unbelievers

O believers! You are responsible for your own souls. Those who stray cannot harm you if you are guided. To Allah is your return, and He will inform you of what you did.

The wicked used to mock the believers

When they returned to their people, they laughed.

And when they saw them, they said, "These are truly lost!"

Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

But today, the believers will laugh at the disbelievers

Reclining on couches, gazing around.

Have the disbelievers been repaid for what they did?

Some of us have submitted, and others have gone astray. Those who submit have chosen the path of wisdom.

But those who deviate will be fuel for Hell.”

The believers will say, “The losers are those who lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection.”

Do not obey the disbelievers or the hypocrites, ignore their harm, and place your trust in Allah.

Those who harm believing men and women unjustly bear the burden of slander and clear sin.

Turn to Him in devotion, be mindful of him, establish prayer, and do not be among the polytheists

Those who divided their religion and became sects, each group rejoicing in what they have.

But their schemes are made appealing to them, and they are barred from the path.

Do not be deceived by the movement of disbelievers across the land.

It is only a brief enjoyment.

Many nations before you have passed away. Travel the earth and see the fate of those who denied the truth.

Do not obey every contemptible oath-monger

A slanderer, a gossip-spreader

One who blocks good, transgresses bounds, and is steeped in sin

Harsh and coarse, and on top of that, of questionable lineage

Simply because he possesses wealth and sons.

When Our signs are recited to him, he says, “These are tales of the ancients.”

We will brand him on the snout.

You see many of them befriending those who reject faith. Evil is what they have sent ahead for themselves, earning Allah’s wrath.

Have you not seen those who befriended a people whom Allah is angry with? They are neither of you nor of them, and they knowingly swear false oaths.

Take none as allies except Allah, His Messenger, and the believers?

You who believe, do not take as allies those with whom Allah is angry. They have despaired of the Hereafter just as the disbelievers have despaired of those in the graves.

The disbelievers are allies to one another. If you do not act likewise, there will be turmoil and great corruption in the land.

Thus, We make some wrongdoers allies of others because of what they earn.

They will have no allies to help them besides Allah. Whoever Allah allows to stray will find no way.

They will not benefit you against Allah in the least. The wrongdoers are allies of one another.

They wish you would disbelieve as they have, so you would be alike. Do not take them as allies until they migrate for Allah’s cause. But if they turn hostile, seize them and fight them wherever you find them. Do not take them as allies or supporters.
