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

Chapter 4, Page 92, Juz 5

88. What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him thou (O MUhammad) canst not find a road. 89. They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them, 90. Except those who seek refuge with a people between whom and you there is a covenant, or (those who) come unto you because their hearts forbid them to make war on you or make war on their own folk. Had Allah willed He could have given them power over you so that assuredly they would have fought you. So, if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace, Allah alloweth you no way against them. 91. Ye will find others who desire that they should have security from you, and security from their own folk. So often as they are returned to hostility they are plunged therein. If they keep not aloof from you nor offer you peace nor hold their hands, then take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant.
