5:51-62

5:51
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.

5:52
Those in whose hearts is a disease – thou seest how eagerly
they run about amongst them, saying: “We do fear lest a
change of fortune bring us disaster.” Ah! perhaps Allah will
give (thee) victory, or a decision according to His will. Then
will they repent of the thoughts which they secretly harboured
in their hearts.

5:53
And those who believe will say: “Are these the men who swore
their strongest oaths by Allah, that they were with you?” All
that they do will be in vain, and they will fall into (nothing but)
ruin.

5:54
O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his
Faith, soon will Allah produce people whom He will love as
they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against
the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of
the reproaches of such as find fault. That is the grace of Allah,
which He will bestow on whom He pleaseth. And Allah
encompasseth all, and He knoweth all things.

5:55
Your (real) friends are (no less than) Allah, His Messenger, and
the (fellowship of) believers,-those who establish regular
prayers and regular charity, and they bow down humbly (in
worship).

5:56
As to those who turn (for friendship) to Allah, His Messenger,
and the (fellowship of) believers, -it is the fellowship of Allah
that must certainly triumph.

5:57
O ye who believe! take not for friends and protectors those
who take your religion for a mockery or sport,- whether among
those who received the Scripture before you, or among those
who reject Faith; but fear ye Allah, if ye have faith (indeed).

5:58
When ye proclaim your call to prayer they take it (but) as
mockery and sport; that is because they are a people without
understanding.

5:59
Say: “O people of the Book! Do ye disapprove of us for no
other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation
that hath come to us and that which came before (us), and
(perhaps)that most of you are rebellious and disobedient?”

5:60

Say: “Shall I point out to you something much worse than this,
(as judged) by the treatment it received from Allah? those who
incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some
He
transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped evil;-
these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from
the even path!”

5:61
When they come to thee, they say: “We believe”: but in fact
they enter with a mind against Faith, and they go out with the
same but Allah knoweth fully all that they hide

5:62
Many of them dost thou see, racing each other in sin and
rancour, and their eating of things forbidden. Evil indeed are
the things that they do.
