  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    Those who believed, And adopted exile, And fought for the Faith, With their property And their persons, In the cause of God, As well as those Who gave (them) asylum And aid,—these are (all) Friends and protectors, One of another. As to those who believed But came not into exile, Ye owe no duty Of protection to them Until they come into exile; But if they seek Your aid in religion, It is your duty To help them, Except against a people With whom ye have A treaty of mutual alliance. And (remember) God Seeth all that ye do.

    Surah Al-Anfal, verse 8:72
