முஃமின்களே! நீங்கள் முஃமின்களை விடுத்து காஃபிர்களை (உங்களுக்கு உற்ற) நண்பர்களாய் ஆக்கிக் கொள்ளாதீர்கள்;. உங்களுக்கே எதிராக நீங்கள் ஒரு தெளிவான ஆதாரத்தை அல்லாஹ்வுக்கு ஆக்கிக் தர விரும்புகிறீர்களா?

අහෝ දේවත්වය විශ්වාස කළවුනි! නුඹලා දේවත්වය විශ්වාස කරන්නන් හැර දමා දේවත්වය ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කරන්නන්ව සමීප මිතුරන් ලෙස නො ගනු. (මෙමඟින්) නුඹලාට එරෙහිව අල්ලාහ් කෙරෙහි පැහැදිලි සාධකයක් ඇති කර දීමට නුඹලා ප්‍රිය කරන්නෙහු ද?

信道的人们啊!你们不要舍信道者而以不信道者为盟友, 你们欲为真主立一个不利于你们的明证吗?

Tafsir of 4:144

The Prohibition of Wilayah with the Disbelievers Allah forbids His believing servants from taking the disbelievers as friends instead of the believers. This includes being friends and associates of the disbelievers, advising them, being intimate with them, and exposing the secrets of the believers to them. In another Ayah, Allah said, لاَّ يَتَّخِذِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْكَفِرِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي شَىْءٍ إِلاَ أَن تَتَّقُواْ مِنْهُمْ تُقَةً وَيُحَذِّرْكُمُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَهُ (Let not the believers take the disbelievers as friends instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allah warns you against Himself). meaning, He warns you against His punishment if you fall into what He has prohibited. This is why Allah said here, أَتُرِيدُونَ أَن تَجْعَلُواْ للَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ سُلْطَاناً مُّبِيناً (Do you wish to offer Allah a manifest Sultan against yourselves?) meaning proof against you that warrants receiving His torment.…
