يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
لَا
تَتَّخِذُوا
الْيَهُودَ
وَالنَّصَارَى
أَوْلِيَاءَ
بَعْضُهُمْ
أَوْلِيَاءُ
بَعْضٍ
وَمَن
يَتَوَلَّهُم
مِّنكُمْ
فَإِنَّهُ
مِنْهُمْ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
لَا
يَهْدِي
الْقَوْمَ
الظَّالِمِينَ

O you who have faith! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for allies: they are allies of each other. Any of you who allies with them is indeed one of them. Indeed Allah does not guide the wrongdoing lot.
— Ali Quli Qarai
O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.
