Friendship with non-muslims

Contents > Alliance and Enmity > Friendship with non-muslims

Mukhalattat al-Kuffar - You must know not to take disbelievers as intimate friends. Allah says,

"You see many of them turning in friendship to the Unbelievers. Evil indeed are (the works) which their souls have sent forward before them (with the result), that Allah's wrath is on them, and in torment will they abide. If only they had believed in Allah, in the Messenger, and in what has been revealed to him, never would they have taken them for friends and protectors, but most of them are al-Fasiqoon." al-Qur’an, Surah al-Maa’idah, 5: 80-81

And Allah says,

“O You who believe, do not take as Bitanah (close intimate friends) from other than your ranks, they wish for you nothing but harm and wish for you to suffer and they enjoy your hardship, hatred has uttered from their mouths but what they conceal in their chests is greater, we make clear for you the signs after it was hidden, if you have sanity. Here you are! You love them and they do not love you while you believe in all the books (and they reject the Qur’an), when they meet you they say ‘we believe’ and when they are alone they bite their fingers with rage, say: “die in your rage.” Verily, Allah knows everything hidden in the chests.” al-Qur’an, Surah aal ‘Imraan, 3: 118-119
