Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:51
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الۡيَهُوۡدَ وَالنَّصٰرٰۤى اَوۡلِيَآءَ ​ۘ بَعۡضُهُمۡ اَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضٍ​ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّتَوَلَّهُمۡ مِّنۡكُمۡ فَاِنَّهٗ مِنۡهُمۡ​ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهۡدِى الۡقَوۡمَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ ۝
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tattakhithoo alyahooda wannasaraawliyaa baAAduhum awliyao baAAdinwaman yatawallahum minkum fa-innahu minhum inna Allaha layahdee alqawma aththalimeen
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are in fact allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is one of them. Indeed, Allāh guides not the wrongdoing people.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Prohibition of Intimacy: Do not take Jews and Christians as close allies (*Awliya*).

The Insight

Believers are warned not to take Jews and Christians as close, intimate allies who offer mutual protection, as they protect each other. **Choose spiritual over political loyalty.** Reserve deep spiritual and strategic alliance for the community of faith, while maintaining just, peaceful relations with all communities.
