Believers, don’t take My enemies and your enemies for friends, offering them affection when they have already repudiated the truth that has come to you; they banish the messenger and you because you believe in God, your Lord. If you have come out to strive for My cause, seeking My pleasure, don’t have secret converse with them in friendship, for I know what you conceal and what you reveal; and whoever among you does that has strayed from the right way.

There is a good example for you in Abraham and those with him when they said to their people, “We have nothing to do with you and what you worship instead of God. We repudiate you; enmity between us has begun, and hatred that will last until you believe in God alone”— the exception being Abraham’s saying to his father, “I will ask forgiveness for you, though I have no power from God to do anything for you”— “Our Lord, we put our trust in You: we turn repentant to You, for destiny leads to You.

Believers, when refugee women believers come to you, examine them —God knows their faith best— and if you recognize them as believers, then don’t return them to the atheists: these women are not lawful wives for them, and they are not lawful husbands for these women. But give them what they have spent. And there is no blame on you if you marry them, provided you give them their dowries. But don’t maintain guardianship over atheists— ask for what you have spent, and let them ask for that they have spent. That is the judgment of God, judging between you. And God is most knowing, most wise.
