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.
