الَّذِينَ
يَتَّخِذُونَ
الْكَافِرِينَ
أَوْلِيَاءَ
مِن
دُونِ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
أَيَبْتَغُونَ
عِندَهُمُ
الْعِزَّةَ
فَإِنَّ
الْعِزَّةَ
لِلَّهِ
جَمِيعًا

Yea, to those who take for friends unbelievers rather than believers: is it honour they seek among them? Nay,- all honour is with Allah.
— Abdullah Yusufali
—those who take the faithless for allies instead of the faithful. Do they seek honour with them? [If so,] indeed all honour belongs to Allah.
