يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
لَا
تَتَّخِذُوا
الْكَافِرِينَ
أَوْلِيَاءَ
مِن
دُونِ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
أَتُرِيدُونَ
أَن
تَجْعَلُوا
لِلَّهِ
عَلَيْكُمْ
سُلْطَانًا
مُّبِينًا
yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū lā tattakhidhū l-kāfirīna ʾawliyāʾa min dūni l-muʾminīna ʾa-turīdūna ʾan tajʿalū li-llāhi ʿalaykum sulṭānan mubīnan
O ye who believe! Take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers: Do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?
— Abdullah Yusufali
O you who have faith! Do not take the faithless for friends instead of the faithful. Do you wish to give Allah a clear sanction against yourselves?
