Islam & the Concept of Friendship

Islam & the Concept of Friendship

 


 

REMINDERS
FOR TAKING THE KUFAR AS FRIENDS

Author Unknown

1. Befriending
and liking them. Allaah says interpretation of the meaning):You
will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day,
making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger;
[al-Mujaadilah 58:22]

2. Inclining
towards them, relying upon them and taking them as a support. Allaah
says interpretation of the meaning): And incline not towards those
who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you[Hood 11:113]

3. Helping and
supporting them against the Muslims. Allaah says (interpretation
of the meaning): The believers, men and women, are awliya (helpers,
supporters, friends, protectors) of one another [al-Tawbah 9:71].

He also says
of the kuffaar that they are but awliya(helpers, supporters, friends,
protectors) to one another [al-Maaidah 5:51]. And He says(interpretation
of the meaning): And if any amongst you takes them as awliya, then
surely he is one of them. [al-Maaidah 5:51].

4. Bringing
their laws and rules to the Muslim countries. Allaah says(interpretation
of the meaning): Do they then seek the judgement of the Days of
Ignorance? [al-Maaidah 5:50]

5. Taking them
as friends in general terms, taking them as helpers and supporters,
and throwing in ones lot with them. Allaah forbids all this, as
He says (interpretation of the meaning): O you who believe! Take
not the Jews and the Christians as awliya (friends, protectors,
helpers, etc.), they are but awliya to one another [al-Maaidah 5:51].

6. Compromising
with them and being nice to them at the expense of ones religion.
Allaah says(interpretation of the meaning): They wish that you should
compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so that they
(too) would compromise with you. [al-Qalam 68:9]. This includes
sitting with them and entering upon them at the time when they are
making fun of the Signs of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of
the meaning): And it has already been revealed to you in the Book
that when you hear the Verses of Allaah being denied and mocked
at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than
that; (but if you stayed with them), certainly in that case you
would be like them [al-Nisa 4:140]

7. Trusting
them and taking them as advisors and consultants instead of the
believers. Allaah says(interpretation of the meaning): O you who
believe! Take not as (your) bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors,
helpers, friends, etc.)those outside your religion (pagans, Jews,
Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their
best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has
already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal
is far worse. Indeed We have made clear to you the aayaat (proofs,
evidence, verses), if you understand. Lo! You are the ones who love
them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures
[i.e., you believe in the Tawraat and the Injeel, while they disbelieve
in your Book (the Quraan)]. And when they meet you, they say, We
believe. But when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers
at you in rage. Say: Perish in your rage. Certainly Allaah knows
what is in the breasts (all the secrets). If a good befalls you,
it grieves them, but some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it
[Aal Imran 3:118-120].
