يَا أَيُّهَا

الَّذِينَ

آمَنُوا

لَا

تَتَّخِذُوا

الْيَهُودَ

وَالنَّصَارَى

أَوْلِيَاءَ

بَعْضُهُمْ

أَوْلِيَاءُ

بَعْضٍ

وَمَن

يَتَوَلَّهُم

مِّنكُمْ

فَإِنَّهُ

مِنْهُمْ

إِنَّ

اللَّهَ

لَا

يَهْدِي

الْقَوْمَ

الظَّالِمِينَ

yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū tattakhidhū l-yahūda wa-n-naṣārā ʾawliyāʾa baʿḍuhum ʾawliyāʾu baʿḍin wa-man yatawallahum minkum fa-ʾinnahū minhum ʾinna llāha yahdī l-qawma ẓ-ẓālimīna

Believers, do not consider the Jews and Christians as your intimate friends for they are only friends with each other. Whoever does so will be considered as one of them. God does not guide the unjust people.

Muhammad Sarwar
