يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
لَا
تَتَّخِذُوا
آبَاءَكُمْ
وَإِخْوَانَكُمْ
أَوْلِيَاءَ
إِنِ
اسْتَحَبُّوا
الْكُفْرَ
عَلَى
الْإِيمَانِ
وَمَن
يَتَوَلَّهُم
مِّنكُمْ
فَأُولَئِكَ
هُمُ
الظَّالِمُونَ
yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū lā tattakhidhū ʾābāʾakum wa-ʾikhwānakum ʾawliyāʾa ʾini staḥabbū l-kufra ʿalā l-ʾīmāni wa-man yatawallahum minkum fa-ʾulāʾika humu ẓ-ẓālimūna
O you who have faith! Do not befriend your fathers and brothers if they prefer faithlessness to faith. Those of you who befriend them—it is they who are the wrongdoers.
— Ali Quli Qarai
O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.
