لا يتخذ المؤمنون الكافرين اولياء من دون المؤمنين ومن يفعل ذلك فليس من الله في شيء الا ان تتقوا منهم تقاة ويحذركم الله نفسه والى الله المصير

let not the Believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than Believers: if any do that, In nothing will there be help From God: except by way Of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them, But God cautions you (To remember) Himself; For the final goal Is to God.
