surah al-ma`idah ayat 51 - 60
O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies; some of them are allies of one another. Whoever of you allies himself with them is one of them. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
You will see those in whose hearts is sickness racing towards them. They say, "We fear the wheel of fate may turn against us." But perhaps Allah will bring about victory, or some event of His making; thereupon they will regret what they concealed within themselves.
Those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by Allah with their strongest oaths that they are with you?" Their works have failed, so they became losers.
O you who believe! Whoever of you goes back on his religion—Allah will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him, kind towards the believers, stern with the disbelievers. They strive in the way of Allah, and do not fear the blame of the critic. That is the grace of Allah; He bestows it upon whomever He wills. Allah is Embracing and Knowing.
Your allies are Allah, and His Messenger, and those who believe—those who pray regularly, and give charity, while bowing down.
Whoever allies himself with Allah, and His Messenger, and those who believe—surely the Party of Allah is the victorious.
O you who believe! Do not befriend those who take your religion in mockery and as a sport, be they from among those who were given the Scripture before you, or the disbelievers. And obey Allah, if you are believers.
When you call to the prayer, they take it as a joke and a trifle. That is because they are people who do not reason.
Say, "O People of the Scripture! Do you resent us only because we believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed previously; and most of you are sinners?"
Say, "Shall I inform you of worse than that for retribution from Allah? He whom Allah has cursed, and with whom He became angry; and He turned some of them into apes, and swine, and idol worshipers. These are in a worse position, and further away from the right way."
