An-Nisa 4:89 ودوا لو تكفرون كما كفروا فتكونون سواء فلا تتخذوا منهم اولياء حتى يهاجروا في سبيل الله فان تولوا فخذوهم واقتلوهم حيث وجدتموهم ولا تتخذوا منهم وليا ولا نصيرا ٨٩

4:89
وَدُّواْ
لَوۡ
تَكۡفُرُونَ
كَمَا
كَفَرُواْ
فَتَكُونُونَ
سَوَآءٗۖ
فَلَا
تَتَّخِذُواْ
مِنۡهُمۡ
أَوۡلِيَآءَ
حَتَّىٰ
يُهَاجِرُواْ
فِي
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِۚ
فَإِن
تَوَلَّوۡاْ
فَخُذُوهُمۡ
وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ
حَيۡثُ
وَجَدتُّمُوهُمۡۖ
وَلَا
تَتَّخِذُواْ
مِنۡهُمۡ
وَلِيّٗا
وَلَا

They wish that you should disbelieve, as they have disbelieved, and thus you become all alike. So, do not take friends from among them unless they migrate in the way of Allah. Then, if they turn away, seize them, and kill them wherever you find them, and do not take from among them a friend or helper.

Read in Context

Chapter 4, Page 92, Juz 5

88. So, what is the matter with you that you have become two groups about the hypocrites, while Allah has reverted them because of what they did. Do you want to guide the one whom Allah has let go astray? The one whom Allah lets go astray, you shall never find a way for him. 89. They wish that you should disbelieve, as they have disbelieved, and thus you become all alike. So, do not take friends from among them unless they migrate in the way of Allah. Then, if they turn away, seize them, and kill them wherever you find them, and do not take from among them a friend or helper. 90. Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty, or who come to you with their hearts feeling discomfort in fighting either against you or against their own people. If Allah had so willed, He would have given them power over you, then they would have fought you - so, if they stay away from you, and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not given you any authority against them. 91. You will find others who want to be secure from you, and secure from their own people. (But) whenever they are called back to the mischief, they are plunged into it. So, if they do not stay away from you, and do not offer peace to you, and do not restrain their hands, then seize them, and kill them wherever you find them, and, We have given you an open authority against them.
